[Scheming, obedient concubine × cold, ascetic Grand Tutor]
Meng Li was sold to a landlord by her foster parents, then passed along by the landlord to a nobleman in the capital's bedchamber.
He said, "This isn't how you seduce someone."
To protect herself, Meng Li took the initiative to flatter and tempt him. Afterwards, she stole all the nobleman's travel money and escaped through a window.
Three months later, she pretended to be the concubine of Feng Erlangjun, bringing his jade pendant and ashes to the Feng residence in an attempt to secure a place in a powerful family. All she wanted was to go to the capital and find her relatives at the Pingxi residence.
Unexpectedly, on her very first day at the Feng residence, she ran into the nobleman from the capital with whom she had shared a fleeting affair. He turned out to be Feng Botang, the eldest son of the Feng family and the Grand Tutor to the Emperor.
After entering the residence, she played the part of a sweet, obedient girl, currying favor with everyone.
In public, she was his younger brother's concubine. In private, their relationship was ambiguous.
Until one night, she stumbled into his arms in a daze. "My lord, please be tender with me."
Feng Botang's gaze darkened, and his heart stirred. He really was going mad!
-
Meng Li discovered that Feng Botang was impossibly hard to seduce and always kept her at arm's length.
One day, he saw her laughing and smiling with another man, looking as radiant as a flower.
He cornered her against a wall.
"Meng Li, if you dare betray my younger brother, I'll kill you!"
Seeing the overwhelming fury in his eyes, Meng Li got scared. She wouldn't try to seduce him anymore!
-
Only when her pretense of being Feng Erlangjun's concubine was exposed did she realize that he was a complete madman!
Feng Botang held her tightly captive, his eyes roiling with emotion.
"Feel this carefully. Are you my younger brother's concubine, or my wife?"
-
Later, he said, "A Li, marry me. I'm begging you."
