After being reborn as a widow, she didn't want the old man anymore and set her sights on Master He's five sons. She not only possessed a beautiful face but also cunning and resourcefulness. 🌸 However, her initial attempt was unsuccessful, as she provoked the most unapproachable of them all, He Er. She dressed exquisitely and went to He Da's house in the middle of the night with her zither to learn music, only to be intercepted by He Er. She heard that He San was a womanizer and tried to create a chance encounter, but He Er intercepted her again. She then heard that He Si was muscular, preferred martial arts to literature, and was disliked by noble ladies, so she tried to inquire about his well-being, only to be intercepted by He Er once more. Looking at the still young He Wu, she couldn't bring herself to harm him. She hated him, despised him, yet begged him to spare her. He merely sneered at her, saying calmly, "I can give you everything you want. I only have one request: from now on, you can only scheme and manipulate me. You are not allowed to have any designs on anyone else but me."

    The two books I read were pretty good ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Both female leads time-travel and become the male lead's mistress, which I really liked because it's a "I'm your mistress, and you're my mistress" dynamic – so fair! The first book has a slightly scumbag female lead, but her motivation, in a way I think is very reasonable – she wants to save herself, which makes perfect sense, perfect! The second book is a bit funny ╮(´｡･v･｡`). The female lead is a con artist, incredibly good at it, and if the male lead didn't have some kind of cheat ability, he really couldn't handle her, which was hilarious.
