After being reborn, Ruan Haitang drives the seventh young master of the Yuan family, Sima, mad after he tries to toy with her feelings!
She drives the Luo sisters mad, too, with their endless little schemes and calculations!
She even drives the son of a fifth-rank Grand Court Official mad, that ridiculous villain who wouldn’t last more than a few episodes!
Even the hero and heroine of the original story are no match for her. She smiles as she casually manipulates them, never holding back!
Later, her friends respect her, her enemies fear her, and even her father is afraid of her. She just keeps smiling, completely unfazed.
She plans to enjoy her freedom alone, then retire in comfort once her imperial merchant guild has grown big and strong.
Who could have guessed that a young man would follow close behind her all this time? No matter what vile rumors follow her, he stands firmly by her side, his eyes burning with fervent devotion.
They say a peach deserves a fine jade in return. So she’ll take him under her wing and spoil him to her heart’s content!
The young man’s madness is reserved for the outside world. In front of Ruan Haitang, he’s as obedient as can be.
He sees his Lady Haitang as the moon in the sky, or a mermaid by the sea: distant and impossible to touch.
Then one day, the moon kisses his tear-reddened eyes.
