Has This Lazy Heiress Turned Over a New Leaf Today?

In her previous life, Su Wantang manages to scrape by in the marquis’s household by throwing tantrums. But after provoking Regent Xie Heng, she is thrown out of the palace in front of everyone, abandoned by her family, and left to die on a snowy night.

When she opens her eyes again, she is fifteen, with a terrible reputation.

Looking at her spoiled reflection in the water, Su Wantang grits her teeth and tears up the script. This time, she’ll study, learn good sense, make money, and become a modest, dignified young lady from a respectable family. Most importantly, she’ll stay away from everyone surnamed Xie!

So the marquis’s household watches in stunned silence as the tantrum-throwing girl who used to cry, throw fits, and threaten to hang herself starts poring over Lessons for Women, yielding to her sisters and showing filial respect to her elders...

Everyone thinks she won’t keep up the act for more than three days.

Until the palace banquet, when the rumored woman-hater, the cold and aloof Regent Xie Heng, corners her behind a rockery in full view of the guests. He leisurely wipes a crumb from the corner of her mouth and asks with a quiet laugh:

“Miss Su, doesn’t it get tiring, pretending every day?”

Xie Heng has a secret.

He sometimes dreams of his previous life. In those dreams, a wild, foolish, yet lively troublemaker always seems strangely familiar.

Then he sees the marquis’s daughter, who is said to have “turned over a new leaf,” smiling gently as she secretly steps on the foot of someone who tried to sabotage her.

Xie Heng smiles.

It’s her.

This time, he’ll see just how long this little fox can keep up the act.
