[A heroine who plays the fool while hiding her strength + an obsessive, clingy hero]
[Only each other, one-on-one romance + marriage before love + star-crossed love + heroine fakes her death later + hero goes completely berserk]
Mo Zhiwei is the legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor’s household. Her mother died young, her father treats her coldly, and her stepmother is sweet-tongued but venomous, so she has no choice but to hide her abilities.
Through a carefully planned scheme, she gets her wish and marries Pei Xuyuan, heir to the Marquis of Ningyuan. Everyone assumes her life will be hell after the wedding, but no one expects Pei Xuyuan to fall for Mo Zhiwei, cherish her like a treasure, cook for her, and hand over all his wealth.
Later, when the truth comes out, Pei Xuyuan confines her in the manor. He says he hates her, then asks if she ever loved him. The next time Pei Xuyuan tells her he hates her and asks why she doesn’t just die, Mo Zhiwei really does die, and Pei Xuyuan completely loses his mind.
When they meet again, Mo Zhiwei smiles and tells him, “I already have a husband.”
But he strokes her face and says, “I can be your secret lover. Please, don’t leave me.”
