A vengeful black-lotus heroine vs. a goofy, optimistic, loyal puppy of a hero
Come on! She only left the palace to find something to eat, and someone was already after her. They knocked her out and forced her into a replacement marriage?
No way. Of course she ran.
Then she met Mo Jinan, a young man who was also fleeing an arranged marriage. She took the chance to trick him, but before they had even gone three miles, someone knocked her out and dragged her back. Fine, she’d just go with the flow.
Well, she could get married. But the groom turned out to be the very nemesis she’d been trading tricks with!
On their wedding night, the young man laid down three rules.
Before the wedding:
“You can have my body, but you’ll never have my heart!”
“Force a melon and it won’t be sweet. Don’t expect me to fall for you!”
“Don’t think you have a place in my heart. It belongs only to Xiaohua, Xiaohong, Xiaolu, Xiazi... my fighting roosters!”
After the wedding:
Mo Jinan: “I take it all back!”
“My dear wife, please, give me a kiss!”
She planned to use their marriage agreement to keep an eye on his jade pendant, uncover the truth behind her brother’s disappearance, then make a clean getaway.
But after they married, the two of them spent their days pulling outrageous tricks on each other and their nights teaming up to solve a series of strange cases. As they matched wits and clashed, they unexpectedly fell in love.
A gulf between their family standings and traps of courtly intrigue forced them apart. Pregnant, Song Mingyue brought over a bowl of drugged tea, held Mo Jinan’s hand as he signed the divorce papers, then vanished overnight with their child.
As the door closed,
the young man, who should have been fast asleep, slowly opened his eyes, madness hidden in his gaze.
It's good to read. It's really a niche treasure book. The author will update more frequently 🤭🤭🤭
