[No romance, only psychological manipulation!]
Rong Qingyue was famous in the capital for being hopelessly lovesick.
She spent ten years chasing Pei Yunchuan, fawning over him and swearing she’d marry no one else, even if it meant becoming his concubine.
Who knew Pei Yunchuan would actually want her as a bedchamber maid?
Rong Qingyue: “Wait, I was just being polite. You actually took me seriously?”
Fine, she’d come clean. She was a total sucker for good looks.
She’d fawn over anyone handsome.
Young General Xie had returned victorious, and he was as handsome as he was capable.
The frail, sickly Young Lord Bai was as delicate as a willow in the breeze.
The celebrated courtesan of Changjin Pavilion was simply breathtaking.
And the young monk at Da Ci’en Temple was so aloof and otherworldly.
Oh no, not only had she failed to get over her lovesickness, she’d developed several more cases.
Later…
Young General Xie hauled all his belongings into the Rong residence and forced his way in.
“I got here first, so I’m claiming the principal wife’s place.”
Young Lord Bai held her hand, eyes reddened and voice trembling.
“I don’t ask for a title. I only want to stay by your side.”
The courtesan pulled her into her arms, her breath as sweet as orchids.
“What do those stinking men know about taking care of someone? Only your big sister understands you.”
The young monk knelt before the Buddha for three days and nights, then grew out his hair and returned to secular life.
“Big Sister, I asked the Buddha, and he approved of our marriage.”
Pei Yunchuan knelt on the ground, clutching her skirt and begging desperately.
“Please don’t abandon me. I’ll be your dog if I have to.”
His best friend grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and tossed him aside.
“Even as a dog, you’re behind me in line!”
Looking at all these gorgeous people, each with their own charms, Rong Qingyue was at her wit’s end.
The old emperor was far too conservative. Why couldn’t she take both husbands and wives?
Maybe she should start a rebellion?
