Even Yu Wan, a winner in the palace intrigues, had her unlucky moments. She stumbled into a trap and ended up in an unfamiliar time and place.
A man casually tossed her a stack of checks. “Pretend to be my fiancée. That's your payment.”
Yu Wan: “Huh? That's a lot of money!”
To make a living, she swiftly switched between roles: she could act like a green tea and put the society ladies in their place, or play the innocent white lotus and win sympathy. She could wait on her future in-laws hand and foot, or be gentle and kind to the younger generation.
According to media reports, this little-known young madam was fluent in several languages, skilled at horseback riding and archery, and knowledgeable about tea ceremonies and flower arranging. She had a wide range of interests. On top of that, she was always talking about her fiancé, clearly his number-one fan.
The man closed the webpage and calmly concluded, “She must have fallen in love with me. She can't live without me. If I dumped her, she'd be absolutely devastated.”
Then he walked into the bedroom and found Yu Wan happily watching short videos of handsome young men.
“Wow, that guy's so handsome!” “Ooh, that pretty boy's cute too!” “I'll take the wolf-dog type as well!”
Him: “???”
