Yan Qingchen holds a lofty, honorable position and is a model gentleman. He has always despised corrupt sycophants who curry favor with the powerful.
The person he hates most in this life is Gu Fengyu.
But Gu Fengyu is dead.
For some reason, pain stirs in Yan Qingchen's heart.
Still... something doesn't quite feel right.
After years of passing as a man in court, Gu Fengyu dies in a hail of arrows during a palace coup while protecting the new emperor's accession to the throne.
After the new emperor takes the throne, he announces to the world that Gu Fengyu was a woman and establishes a shrine to loyal martyrs in her honor, celebrating her achievements.
The news throws the entire court into an uproar.
The corrupt villain everyone once cursed has died and been transformed overnight into a loyal official.
Meanwhile, in a residence in Jiangnan thousands of miles away, Gu Fengyu slowly unwraps the chest bindings she's worn for more than ten years. She sits with one leg crossed over the other beneath the veranda.
Looking at her grand estate, she grins from ear to ear. After faking her death, her family's unjust case has been overturned, she's received an enormous reward, and she's gained a name that will go down in history.
Whichever way you look at it, this was worth it!
I'm coming for a carefree retirement!
The days are warm in Jiangnan, the breeze soft, and the tea fragrant.
Gu Fengyu reclines on a daybed, listening to music and enjoying her peaceful days.
Suddenly, someone pushes open the courtyard gate, and a familiar, cool figure steps inside.
The moment Gu Fengyu sees who it is, she spits out her tea.
You've got to be kidding!
She faked her death and escaped all the way to Jiangnan. How did her nemesis Yan Qingchen still manage to track her down?
Notes:
1. Happy ending! Happy ending! Happy ending!
2. Both leads have only been with each other. Both leads have only been with each other. Both leads have only been with each other.
3. A woman disguises herself as a man. Please be gentle!
