[Reborn + Both Leads Are Chaste + They Uncover Each Other's Secret Identities + Golden Finger]
A gentle, refined woman who can kill without blinking x a fierce, wicked man who cries and clings like a baby
The Song family is a scholarly clan, while the hereditary Chengde Marquis household enjoys wealth and glory.
The third young master, Song Yanqing, is courteous, well-mannered, and destined for a high office despite his youth. The legitimate eldest granddaughter, Li Zhen, is bright and lively, skilled in every art under the sun.
Well-matched in status and in love, they seem like a pair made for each other!
So one night, the young woman sits shyly on the wedding bed, anxiously waiting for the wedding scale to lift her veil.
But an imperial edict is suddenly unfurled, and every member of the Chengde Marquis household is slaughtered without exception...
Why!
Other families pass down treasures of gold and jade, but all the Chengde Marquis household has are a few lines of family rules that even the neighborhood dogs can recite by heart!
It all began because their founding ancestor's descendants were extravagant and debauched, nearly selling off the family estates to make ends meet.
So the grandfather followed the ancestral instructions to the letter, sparing no effort to erect stone tablets warning future generations that those who disobeyed would be punished with a cane and a ruler, or, in serious cases, struck from the family register.
But in the end?
Could they really not escape the cursed fate of greed bringing ruin?
Heaven is unjust!
"Bah! What nonsense about Heaven being unjust! This was a calamity caused by people, planned long in advance!"
Li Zhen spits in fury after being betrayed by both her lover and her family.
Returning to Fengjing, Li Zhen takes on the identity of a female worker at a dyeing workshop and secretly sets schemes in motion, making her enemies turn on each other. But then the brocade-clad guard known as Lord Lu, the King of Hell, sets his sights on her!
Yet as the two grow closer, she finds him more and more strange.
Doesn't he even steal other men's wives? Why does he blush whenever she gets close?
Later, things get even worse:
He calls his father-in-law his mother-in-law at the wedding, chokes during the shared cup ceremony, and takes a wrong turn while leading the wedding procession...
He makes excuses: "I've never been married, so of course I'm out of practice."
"..." She shouldn't have agreed to help him break through enemy lines.
