In half a month, Jiang Ning and Xiao Mingyuan are supposed to exchange betrothal letters. But unexpectedly, his white moonlight barges in.

“Cousin Ning, the Heir Xiao and I are in love. Would you be willing to give him up for me?”

Strangely, Jiang Ning suddenly hears the thoughts of her personal maid.

“Tsk, tsk. Poor little white rabbit. How could she possibly compete with a scumbag’s white moonlight?”

“Let me think. Besides that scumbag, there’s the calculating Third Prince and the refined but rotten top scholar... Every last one of them is a bad man.”

From these thoughts, Jiang Ning learns something almost too unbelievable to accept.

The world she lives in is a tragic romance novel.

Though adored by her father and brothers, she is the fake heiress of the Duke of Guo’s household. Her fiancé deliberately gets close to her so his white moonlight can have her heart’s desire, even going so far as to marry her.

After the white moonlight dies a tragic death, Jiang Ning is tortured until she dies as well...

Jiang Ning is stunned. Has her maid lost her mind?

Not long afterward, to everyone’s bewilderment, Jiang Ning rejects her engagement to Xiao Mingyuan and resolutely chooses Pei Heng, the infamous Jade-Faced King of Hell.

It’s all because the maid said:

“Thank goodness there’s still Pei Heng, the seemingly chaste but secretly bashful puppy. He’s the only one who truly loves Ningbao. It’s a shame he can’t bring himself to say it.”

Pei Heng is rebellious and aloof, with few worldly desires. Only around Jiang Ning does he show his insecure and timid side.

Later, Pei Heng pins Jiang Ning against a small couch, his trembling hand caressing the crown of her head.

“Ningning, are you finally willing to have me?”
