A Little White Rabbit? What's with the People I Killed on a Whim?

[Early: secretly wealthy merchant’s daughter with a gentle exterior and a ruthless streak * ruthless county magistrate with a dark side + Later: Junshu Commandery Princess * general’s son + both physically and emotionally pure + male lead pretends to grovel after losing her + court politics + revenge]

Qianjing:

The new county magistrate is not someone to trifle with. Cen Yu resolves to steer clear of him, but on the very afternoon she makes up her mind, she sees him outside a neighboring residence.

“What a coincidence. Do you live here too?”

Not a coincidence. This whole area used to belong to me.

Xu Wei thinks Cen Yu has been a little cool toward him lately. After she insults him several times, he goes to her home.

“You’re the first man the young lady has ever brought home.”

The words have barely left his mouth when a teacup crashes to the floor in the rear courtyard.

It turns out to be a cat Cen Yu keeps.

“You told the gatekeeper I can come in without announcing myself from now on, right?”

The cat smashes another teacup.

Only after they confess their feelings to each other does Cen Yu realize that this is no longer the county magistrate who used to be at odds with her. He’s just a jealous man who gets possessive over every little thing.

The capital:

Everyone knows the Junshu Commandery Princess and the eldest son of the Qin family can’t stand each other.

At the tournament hosted by the emperor, the Junshu Commandery Princess surprises everyone by defeating one soldier after another.

“Does anyone else want to challenge me?”

No one answers.

The young master of the Qin family looks around, then walks toward the arena.

As they watch him approach, everyone assumes he’s going to humiliate the princess.

But then the Junshu Commandery Princess leans forward and rests her forehead on the young master of the Qin family’s shoulder.
