The Imperial Preceptor Likes His Sweet on the Outside, Dark on the Inside

Yu Mo, the Imperial Preceptor, appeared gentle and refined but was actually obsessive and sinister. To avenge his family, framed years ago by the Ningyuan Marquis household, he schemed to marry Ruan Ying, the marquis’s concubine-born daughter. He had intended to torment her little by little after their wedding, but discovered that this supposedly timid and useless young woman was a master of hiding her true nature. As they tested and outmaneuvered each other, they gradually fell in love. Their mutual disguises gave way to genuine affection, and together they uncovered the conspiracy from years ago, ultimately standing side by side at the pinnacle of power.
