Lin Daiyu Drops the Act: One Word from Her Has the Whole Household on Its Knees

[Lin Daiyu Reborn] + [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger] + [A Silver-Tongued Master] + [Feel-Good Face-Slapping]

Everyone said the young lady of the Lin family had a heart of crystal and a body of glass, so frail that a breeze could knock her over and the slightest touch could shatter her.

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu pressed a hand to her chest and coughed even harder, while inwardly sneering: Keep it up. I’ll keep pretending.

Until one day...

When a crafty servant withheld her tonic, she sighed “weakly” in front of Matriarch Jia. “Very well. It’s only right that things from my maternal grandmother’s home should be precious. A worthless life like mine was never worthy of them anyway.” Matriarch Jia’s face turned green.

When Baochai advised her to be magnanimous, Daiyu smiled through a cough of blood. “You’re right, Sister. I’m about to die anyway, so what is there to argue over? Unlike you, Sister, whose good fortune will last for years.” Baochai’s smile froze on her face.

Later, the Prince of Beijing, who was always content to watch the show, cornered her against a wall and asked in a low voice, “Doesn’t pretending wear you out?”

Daiyu looked up, her eyes icy. “Isn’t Your Highness the same? How much longer will you keep wearing that charming, dissolute playboy’s mask?”

Their eyes met. At last, two master performers had found the only person who was just like them.
