[Historical romance with a twist + accidental offense + irresistible physical attraction + mistaken fiancée + breaking rules to earn gold + obsessive, repressed hero]
A System mission went wrong, forcing Su Wanqing to throw herself into the arms of the man in front of her within ten breaths.
She squeezed her eyes shut and crashed straight into Xie Yanli, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, at a splendid banquet by the Qujiang River!
The collision not only disheveled his perfectly neat collar, but also threw the three thousand rules he'd followed for years into disarray.
Xie Yanli was the very model of proper conduct in the capital. He immediately scolded her coldly: "Miss Su, your behavior is outrageous. Have you no sense of decorum?"
Su Wanqing lowered her head, dejected, thinking she'd failed the mission. But that night, the System rang wildly in her ears until dawn
[Detected: The heir is passionately entwined with the Host in his dreams, his breathing out of control. His rule-breaking points have surged. Reward: five hundred taels of gold!]
Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. So this cool, aloof heir acts proper during the day, but earns gold like crazy at night?
To save up one hundred thousand taels of gold and buy the entire Zhuque Street, she came up with all sorts of ways to stage "accidents": borrowing his handkerchief, tugging on his sleeve, and bumping into his chest.
Meanwhile, Xie Yanli had always mistakenly believed she was the fiancée chosen by his closest friend. He could only bury his overwhelming love deep inside. He despised himself for crossing the line and being despicable, kneeling in the ancestral hall to copy the Heart-Clearing Mantra over and over. Yet whenever she came near, his ears turned scarlet, and he took care of every difficulty she faced.
Then, on the day his closest friend got married, the misunderstanding was finally cleared up. Su Wanqing, having earned a mountain of gold, was getting ready to turn on her heel and run
The usually dignified, self-controlled young lord of the aristocratic family went completely mad. That night, he locked the courtyard gates and pinned her firmly to the bed, his eyes bloodshot. "You earned enough money from making me break my rules and now you want to run? Too late!"
