[Pure Historical Sweet Romance with Native Characters] [Mutual Firsts] [Gorgeous, Delicate, Timid Heroine Who Only Wants to Survive vs. Male Lead Who Seems Like an Untouchable, Aloof Beauty but Is Actually Proud, Tsundere, and Extremely Possessive]

The Xie family of the Duke of Guo's mansion has a distant orphaned female relative. Her skin is as smooth as jade, her waist slender and her figure voluptuous. She is a rare beauty.

As the young lady grows more and more alluring, the various branches of the family fear she will ensnare one of their sons, so they scheme to marry her off.

Someone suggests, “I think the third son of the Earl's family is a good match. Given Yingniang's family background, marrying him would be marrying up.”

Everyone agrees.

When Song Shiying hears the news, she panics.

The Earl's third son is not only ugly, but over forty. He's already outlived three legal wives. She's always been a woman who loves pleasure and fears death. How could she endure such humiliation?

She has to find another way out!

After trying to seduce several candidates, she finally settles on Xie Chengwang, the second son of the third branch.

Though he has little standing in the Xie family, he's gentle and handsome, and surely he'll treat her well.

Later...

Xie Guanyu, the young lord of the Duke of Guo's mansion and its most distinguished member, pins Song Shiying behind a rockery and kisses her until her lips are swollen and her hair is askew.

The man abandons his usual aloofness and coldness, whispering bitterly in her ear,

“Until today, I thought you were at least clever. You know to choose the best food, clothes, and everything else, so why didn't you choose the best husband?”

“Someone like Xie Chengwang deserves your attention?”
