[Clear-headed, rational, cool and refined noblewoman VS obsessive, lovesick, highly skilled young general VS gentle, refined merchant's son with exceptional medical skills]
Overnight, a fallen noblewoman becomes an enslaved courtesan?
Everyone knows that Chi Wan is merely Xie Lin's bed warmer.
If he weren't still hung up on the two times she rejected his marriage proposal, and on her face, which bears a seventy-percent resemblance to Zhou Qing'er,
she would probably still be suffering in the Entertainment Bureau.

“How can a slave like you be so alluring?”

Four years later, in Yangzhou.
“Zhao Huan, you really are blessed: a lovely wife by your side and children to call your own! Anyone would envy you!”

“Xie Lin, let her go! You're a deranged madman who has lost all sense of decency!” Zhao Huan drew his sword and shouted.
Xie Lin seemed not to hear him, his gaze feverish. “Let's have a pair of children too. We'll start over!”
Caught in a whirlpool of love and hate, affection and duty, where will they go from here?

I saw Chapter 18, it's very interesting, why doesn't anyone read it? The writing is smooth, the narrative is very immersive, the plot is reasonable, and the emotional development is gradual and not abrupt at all. I have finished following the whole article, it is very good 👍 Most of them were abandoned halfway, but the ones that I can finish are all good articles 👍
