[Brooding, scheming heroine vs. sunny, gravity-wielding hero]
Shen Hanyi is a liar.
She once went to great lengths to trick Wei Yunze into forming a blood pact with her, one that could only be undone by death, and swearing an oath to never part.
But after stealing his family's most treasured heirloom, she used him and abandoned him, then ran away.
Wei Yunze hates her, and hates himself even more for being stupid enough to fall for acting riddled with holes.
He wants revenge! He'll make sure she can never undo their blood pact, never share tender moments or fall in love with another man!
But then
The blood pact suddenly stirs! A man has appeared at Shen Hanyi's side, closer than the safe distance allows!
Wei Yunze: ...Well played, Shen Hanyi!
*
Shen Wu has been sickly since childhood. Only the Heart-Guarding Lotus of the Wei family of Penglai can save her life.
So she took the name Shen Hanyi, infiltrated the immortal island of Penglai, and carefully played the role of a delicate, frail white lotus, tricking the young master of the Wei family into falling for her.
When she got what she wanted, she greedily took him for all he was worth, without a shred of guilt.
Shen Wu thinks that she was only trying to survive, and they both wanted it. What did she do wrong?
Besides, her name and identity were both fake. Wei Yunze would have a hard time finding her.
Three years later, they meet again at Shen Wu's selection ceremony for a husband.
And Wei Yunze's cousin is the man Shen Wu is about to choose.
That night, Wei Yunze slips into Shen Wu's courtyard as if he knows the way, presses close to her ear, and murmurs, "Cousin's wife, which of us do you prefer, me or my cousin?"
