[Cool-headed, stubborn merchant’s daughter + proud, pampered young lord]
A young female cousin came to live at the Marquis of Yongning’s estate. She was graceful and lovely, a beauty no one could forget, and everyone adored her except the heir, Xiao Huaiqing. He had first met her in the grandest brothel in the capital.
When the family suggested strengthening their ties through marriage, proposing that Xiao Huaiqing’s younger brother, the second young lord of the marquis’s household, marry Tang Yi, the heir scoffed.
“She comes from a lowly family, is flighty and wanton, and is full of schemes. How could she ever be fit to enter the gates of our house?”
But after a series of twists and turns, the heir realized he had misunderstood Tang Yi, and that she might have feelings for him too.
One day, the heir blocked Tang Yi’s way. “Yiyi, would you marry me?”
Tang Yi replied coolly, “I’m of lowly birth, flighty and wanton, and full of schemes. How could I ever be fit to enter your household?”
Xiao Huaiqing tugged at her sleeve. “Actually, I could marry into your family…”
[Pure historical romance + one-on-one, equally matched and devoted couple + face-slapping + romantic push and pull]
The ending is very ambiguous, but the beginning is still very interesting!
