[Face-Blind, Timid Heroine vs. Wild, Hilarious Hero]
Qing Xing grew up poor. At the Marquis of Zhenyuan's manor, the servants bullied her and the guards harassed her. She'd had enough!
She heard the fourth young master of the main branch was gentle and kind. Even when a maid tried to seduce him, he would just give her some money and let her leave the manor. He sounded like the best master in the world.
Qing Xing made her move. Qing Xing tried to seduce him. Qing Xing was told to get lost!
Wait, why hadn't the fourth young master given her money and kicked her out?
The heir to the Marquis of Zhenyuan's manor was an ambitious wastrel who only cared about wielding weapons. Even his title as heir had been handed to him by his own fourth younger brother.
Everyone in the manor had heard of his fearsome reputation, and they all kept their distance.
But one day... a wretched maid climbed into his bed. She couldn't even undo her sash, and still somehow got into bed? Quite the talent.
That was what he thought, but he also found himself paying attention to her more and more.
When he found out she hadn't meant to climb into his bed, he lost it.
"I'm the first heir whose bed anyone's ever dared to climb into, and you're telling me you climbed into the wrong one?"
Qing Xing: "...Sorry."
The heir lost it, flew into a rage, and then... pretended to be his own fourth younger brother.
The heir sighed. "Phew, I fooled her again. I got an extra kiss today. Nice."

Later, Qing Xing came to think the fourth young master treated her as nothing but a plaything, always pretending not to know her in front of others.
She bit her lip. "Fourth Master, yesterday you took off my clothes and did this and that, and even said you'd marry me properly. You're being awfully cold today."
The refined fourth young master considered her words before replying, "Your birth is too low. Would it be appropriate to dote on you in public?"
At that, Qing Xing cried and wailed all night.
The next day, the fourth young master couldn't take it anymore.
He went to see the heir behind Qing Xing's back, his complaint delivered with perfect composure.
"Brother, you've ruined my reputation."
The heir grinned. "It's fine. In public, you can stay proper and respectable. In private, I'll be the beast in your place."
Fourth Young Master: "???"
