[Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, a rough-edged warlord × a cunning beauty who is greedy and jealous]
[An alternate Five Dynasties setting, with no historical inspirations]
After Li Xuanji, Military Governor of Hedong, returned from destroying Northern Yan, four women appeared in his residence.
They were gifts from the Empress Dowager, and he couldn't refuse. He planned to temporarily place them under the care of the Old Madam, then find an excuse to send them away later. But one of them gave him no end of trouble.
She hid her greed behind her sleeve, loved money and profit, was willful and arrogant, and wore every emotion on her face... Li Xuanji had never known a beauty trap could be so full of holes and so utterly lacking in finesse.
He could command an army of thousands, but he was utterly helpless against her.
After resisting for a long time, he gradually fell for her. Then she betrayed him and disappeared without a trace...
Just wait. If he caught her, he would skin her alive and tear her limb from limb. He made his threats and resolved to tear her out of his very bones, then return his life to normal.
Who could have guessed she would walk right back into the trap?
“My lord, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?” The same old trick, not an ounce of originality. Yet his heart went soft, and he couldn't bring himself to resent her in the slightest.
At last, Li Xuanji understood: ever since ancient times, sages have loved vixens. It was fate.
I'm never any good at writing blurbs, so just bear with me~ After writing about grand backdrops and love amid the chaos of war, I'm going to try a sweet little romance this time. New and longtime readers, add it to your favorites~
Content warnings: 1. Both leads are virgins, the male lead is older, and they start off at odds. Please don't read if that's not your thing.
2. The heroine is not what she seems, is greedy for money and profit, and is very good at lying. Feel free to skip if she's not your type.
3. The setting is an alternate late Tang and Five Dynasties era, but some forms of address may be historically inconsistent. History buffs, beware.
4. There are no historical inspirations. Don't read real people into the characters!!!
5. This is a pure historical romance with no golden finger. The heroine starts out as a concubine, but it's against her will, and she won't be one for long! (Important!!!)
