[A scheming, grudge-holding concubine-born girl who pretends to be sweet × an insomniac, ruthless regent]
By day, Song Wan is the most inconspicuous of the Yongchang Marquis's three daughters. She keeps her head down and acts meek, and even two coughs make her seem on the verge of death.
By night, she is the Dreamweaver, barefoot in red, whose words become law. She walks through the dreams of her enemies throughout the manor, settling scores, laying traps, and turning their world upside down.
Her stepmother pockets three thousand taels of betrothal silver and forces her to marry in someone else's place? She enters her dreams, finds the hidden compartment, and then has the Embroidered Uniform Guard catch her red-handed!
Her legitimate elder sister secretly carries on a secret affair, yet still wants to use Song Wan to build herself a reputation for chastity? Song Wan aggravates her sister's eating disorder until she vomits and gives herself away at a gathering of noblewomen!
Her scumbag father fears the treasury will be robbed? Every night, Song Wan bangs a gong in his dreams until he lays bare the whole family's finances himself!
Song Wan spreads her hands. "I didn't lay a finger on you. You brought this on yourself."
The only hard nut she can't crack is Regent Xiao Che, who refuses to close his eyes in his dreams.
By day, he sits in the main hall and interrogates her, bloodshot eyes fixed on her as he says in a cold, harsh voice, "I will remember the third young lady of the marquis's manor."
By night, she runs wild in the ruins of his dreams, turning his killing blade into a wooden shovel and his hellfire into a hot spring.
Until the night they both discover each other's identities, the man pulls the badly sewn red-pink apron from his sleeve and backs her into a corner, gritting his teeth as he quotes her outrageous words:
"My lord, how does the pink apron in your dreams fit?"
"I've caught you, my queen."
