One-on-one, both leads are virgins, happy ending. A gentle beauty who's slow to recognize her feelings × a straightforward, devoted young master who pursues love
At the polo match in Qu Chiyan, the sixth young master of the Xie family charged ahead and won the prize, drawing cheers from the crowd. But he only turned his gaze toward the women's viewing area, where the seat he sought was empty. Where had she gone?
Seeing the young master's face darken, the servant trembled as he answered, “The eldest young madam left a quarter of an hour ago!”
Following the direction the servant pointed, Xie Chi found the woman he loved chatting happily with an old friend from her past.
A branch snapped loudly, interrupting the two of them mid-conversation. Xie Chi looked at the man with hostility. “Sister-in-law, who is this?”
Synopsis: After spending three years traveling, the young master of the Xie family returns home to find strange things happening one after another. His elder brother protested against the family to marry a woman from a brothel, then died by drowning. Thieves ran rampant in the household, and there were repeated fires and poisonings.
Then he began to notice one person. More precisely, he noticed his widowed sister-in-law, who had married into the family after his elder brother's death. She seemed delicate, yet was connected to all these incidents by countless threads.
At first, the young master Xie thought, “Who is she? What is she trying to do? She must have something to do with what's happening in the household.”
Later, the young master Xie thought, “My sister-in-law is gentle, kind, clever, and quick-witted. So why won't she look at me?”
