Amid the mist and rain of Jiangnan, Shen Yixian is on her way back to the capital when she casually rescues a noble young gentleman whose eyes are covered with white gauze.
He has an otherworldly air, cool and aloof like an immortal, yet he is disciplined and unfailingly proper.
She falls in love at first sight, captivated by his looks, and does everything she can to tease him.
But he remains unmoved, like a stone that can never be warmed.
The words she hears from him most often are: “Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
Until one night, she takes his hand and they undo each other’s clothes. “Help me.”
She assumes he’ll refuse, but he catches the hand she tries to pull away. “If this is what you want, then once I give it to you, don’t think you can regret it.”
But she was clearly the one who had been drugged.
With the capital drawing near and his eye injury about to heal, she leaves him some money and runs away, dismissing the whole thing as a brief affair.
Only later does she learn that her family has already arranged a marriage for her, one that everyone envies.
Her fiance comes from a powerful family. He may be a bit of a playboy, but he treats her very well, so she puts her wild ways aside and prepares to become a virtuous wife.
Until, while accompanying him to pay his respects to an elder, the cold and aloof Vice Minister of Justice, a man with power over the entire court and no interest in women, slowly steps out from behind a screen.
Their eyes meet, and Shen Yixian panics.
Those features unmistakably belong to the man in Jiangnan, the one she had “used and discarded.”
Her fiance, completely oblivious, smiles like a spring breeze. “Xian'er, come and meet my little uncle.”
Yu Shiheng looks at her calmly. She lowers her eyes and acts demure, utterly unlike the woman who once teased him. Then he suddenly smiles, though there is no warmth in his eyes. “Miss Shen, you look rather familiar.”
When everyone turns away, he approaches her slowly, catches the hand hidden beneath her sleeve, and asks in a low voice that only the two of them can hear, “Have you ever... been to Jiangnan?”
A chill runs down Shen Yixian’s spine. She struggles to pull her hand back, but lifts her eyes and answers without a single flaw: “In answer to you, Little Uncle, I have not.”
She sighs inwardly. At this point, denying everything to the bitter end is her only option.
But who could have guessed that he would cling to her? “You have to take responsibility.”
She steps back to put some distance between them. “Please... conduct yourself with dignity.”
Reading guide:
1. The heroine appears to be a gentle, refined young lady, but is actually a dazzling beauty who knows how to ensnare men. The hero appears chaste, disciplined, and proper, but is actually a scheming, sinister minister.
2. Both leads are each other’s first and only love. Happy ending, with intense romantic tension.
