Wen Peiyan spent five years as Feng Rui’s substitute before learning that she wasn’t even a knockoff. She was just an unpaid housekeeper.
At their engagement banquet, one call from his first love was all it took to summon him away. While drowning her sorrows at a bar late that night, she was knocked into by a drenched young man in ancient costume. His eyes were as guileless as a fawn’s, but his fingers were cold as he clasped her wrist. “Sister, you look just like the person who saved me in my past life.”
His name was Shen Qingci. He claimed to have transmigrated from an ancient music house, and was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as in making women soften their hearts.
“Sister, will you let me stay with you?” He knelt on the hotel carpet, his bathrobe hanging open, water droplets clinging to his lashes. “I don’t need a title. I just need somewhere to stay. When you’re tired, I’ll be your pillow. When you’re upset, I’ll listen. And when you need a date... I’m always available.”

2. The heroine’s revenge remains the main plot. Romance is a healing force, not a burden.
3. Updates are steady. See you every evening at six!
