Pillow Talk of Spring

[Scheming Pursuit] [Love Grows Over Time] [Mutual First Love] [The Powerful One Bows His Head]

Widowed for two years, Yun Ning accidentally spent a night of passion with Lu Zhuo, the capital's most feared man.

Luckily, he mistook her for someone else. Yun Ning could only hope he'd wrap up his investigation and return to the capital soon, so they could part ways forever and never meet again.

Acting on an imperial order, Lu Zhuo went to Pingzhou City to investigate the murders of two successive county magistrates in Zhang County. Someone drugged him during a banquet. He thought the woman he'd spent the night with was his maternal cousin from the Tang family, who had been raised by his grandmother, only to discover it was someone else.

He assumed that after such a fateful encounter, the woman would surely cling to him.

But... she acted as though she didn't know him, and day after day she hoped he'd hurry up and leave, never to return.

Did she think he was some cheap courtesan from a brothel, so easy to take advantage of?

Proud as Xie Zhuo was, he laughed in exasperation.
