[One-on-one romance + both leads are devoted to each other + calculating heroine + aloof beauty brought down from her pedestal + lust before love + restrained hero + intense push and pull]
In her previous life, Bai Ruyan was framed by the jealous primary wife and buried alive on charges of adultery.
Reborn, she decides to kill the scum who wronged her, clear her father's name, and carve out a future for herself, even if she has to use unscrupulous methods.
On the day of Lu Hanzhang's birthday banquet, his friend Xie Yinchen appears in the front courtyard, dressed in silver-white robes.
As serene and radiant as the moon, he has always kept his distance from women. Yet Bai Ruyan makes him lose his composure.
Bai Ruyan: “My lord, time is short. Why are you still dawdling?”
Xie Yinchen: “Does your husband know how clingy you are?”
The woman Xie Yinchen loves married someone else. When they meet again, she tempts him and deceives him. He knows she has an ulterior motive, but he still willingly takes the bait.
He restrains himself and plays along, all for the chance to win her glance and her sincere affection.
Lu Hanzhang: “Bai Ruyan, you'll be my concubine and nothing else, even in death!”
“Yanyan, where are you?”
“Yanyan is Ruyan?”
“Ruyan, don't go. I was wrong.”
It's very interesting to watch, and I'm especially looking forward to the way the male protagonist will be slapped in the face when he learns the heroine's true identity. The male protagonist is also really loving. He must have always secretly liked the female protagonist. He has really sacrificed a lot silently, but the female protagonist seems to have never trusted him. She may have been hurt by the male protagonist in the previous life. They must be together in the end.
There are so few people commenting, but the writing is pretty good, you can read it!
