She Faked Her Kindness to Escape, but the Heir Insisted on Giving Her His Heart

[A helpless country girl and illegitimate daughter fighting to survive, versus a suspicious, cold-hearted heir to a marquis's estate bent on revenge] [Household intrigue, revenge, fierce protectiveness, healing] Unwilling to be sold off by her family to secure a future for her elder brother, Liang Yanci steals a jade pendant that belongs to someone else and poses as the person who once saved Song Jichuan, the heir to a marquis's estate, to get close to him. He is suspicious and cold-hearted, with a deep blood feud to avenge. She thinks she has escaped the cage of the Liang family and can take control of her own life, but little does she know she has jumped from the tiger's den into the wolf's lair. The inner quarters of the marquis's estate are rife with hidden dangers, and she is trapped in the sprawling mansion with no way out. At long last, she manages to leave the estate and hopes to find a chance to get away for good. But the threats woven into the heir's every word are impossible to ignore, and she has no choice but to follow him back to the capital. Song Jichuan is furious when he learns that she lied to him. Had her claims of loving him all been a lie? Looking at the jade hairpin she gave him on his birthday, he thinks: As long as a lie is never exposed, it will always be the truth! Neither of them knows that the jade pendant's true owner is about to arrive in the capital. How far can a bond that began with a lie go?
