Rustic Charm

Jiang Wanying, the legitimate daughter of the Prince Regent’s household, had been pampered all her life, but was suddenly sent to the countryside. The two places could not have been more different, and Jiang Wanying’s life went from heaven to rock bottom. When she felt frustrated, a tutor named Chen Shang was there to look after her. Compared with the noble young men of the capital, Chen Shang could at least read and write, but Jiang Wanying still looked down on him. A country bumpkin like him wasn’t even worthy of carrying her shoes. She had long since grown spoiled and willful. Since Chen Shang was a servant, she ordered him around as she pleased. Perhaps because he knew her true identity, Chen Shang obediently put up with her “bullying.” After looking after her for a while, Chen Shang’s gaze began to grow strange. Before, he would agree without hesitation to anything she wanted to do. Now, if she wanted to do something, she had to get his permission. Jiang Wanying couldn’t make head or tail of it. At last, she saw Chen Shang in her room, sniffing her clothes with a look of utter satisfaction, and understood: Chen Shang had fallen for her. Chen Shang, who always wore plain white clothes and rarely spoke, was a taciturn sort. The fact that he liked her was only natural, she supposed. She was so refined, after all. Looking at him, Jiang Wanying decided that teasing Chen Shang might be a little fun in this dull countryside. In the end, she deigned to get together with him and give him a taste of what he wanted. “Will you always love me?” Chen Shang asked, holding Jiang Wanying in his arms. Jiang Wanying ate the pastries Chen Shang had bought for her several kilometers away, then lied without batting an eye. “Of course.” ＊ When she returned to the capital, Chen Shang, whom she had abandoned, followed her and cornered her in an alley. His eyes red, he asked, “Were you just playing with me all along?” Jiang Wanying had always felt that Chen Shang, with no power or status, wasn’t worthy of her. Looking at the red-eyed man in front of her with her pretty little face, she answered without mercy, “Yes.” ＊ What Jiang Wanying never expected was that Chen Shang would make a name for himself in the capital and become a rising star. She had no idea how to avoid him. She could only hope he was generous enough not to hold what happened before against her. In the end, Chen Shang forced Jiang Wanying to marry him. A melodramatic story about a self-righteous man who gets played and has his heart stolen. A spoiled, willful young lady × a tutor who only pretends to be proper Warnings: 1. There will be a forced marriage. 2. The heroine really is spoiled and willful. 3. Set in an alternate world. Don’t overthink the historical details. 4. Both leads are each other’s only partner.
