A Thousand Rouge Hues

She is a fallen noblewoman, gifted with extraordinary skills, patience, and wisdom.

He is the famous Third Master of the Su family, cold and wealthy, with vengeance in his heart.

With a forged marriage contract and a deal enforced by both threats and persuasion, he tricks her into returning to the Su household, passing her off as his intended nephew's bride. He pushes her into the eye of the storm, where she must contend with the madam and the concubines, punish unruly servants, and protect the family fortune.

He claims to be a cold-hearted bystander, but when a raging fire consumes the Su estate, he charges into the flames like a madman, all to retrieve a real marriage contract.

"Cheng Fuzhen, the Cheng and Su families really do have a marriage agreement. I'm the one you're meant to marry!"
