A pressure-proof heroine with a head full of schemes vs. an extremely possessive, sensitive hero
After a great fire, Jun Yi's beloved master, the only person she had left, vanished without a trace. Following the clues back to the capital, Jun Yi resumed her identity as the fifth daughter of the century-old Cui family.
The capital was rife with undercurrents, and everyone had their own agenda. With little power of her own, she desperately needed an ally to help her find someone.
So she set her sights on the celebrated Duke Zhenguo, famed for his military achievements.
Shen Xu had once been saved by Miss Cui in Liangzhou, so when they met again in the capital, he was more than happy to do something for her in return.
Lending her people and influence was no trouble at all.
It wasn't until one day, when Miss Cui overturned the entire scheme he'd spent so long laying in the capital, that he realized she'd used him from beginning to end.
The culprit not only refused to apologize, she even provoked him shamelessly: "Go on, if you've got the nerve, kill me right here today!"
Shen Xu pushed aside the man standing in front of her with a sneer. "Killing you would be far too easy. I insist on marrying you, so I can torment you day and night from now on."
He kept his word. On their wedding night, Shen Xu saw a glint in his wife's eyes and finally realized, in a daze, that he'd fallen for her trick yet again.
But then he thought, so what?
He owed her his life. The least he could do was repay her by giving himself to her.
Reading Guide:
1. The leads are each other's only partners in both their past and present lives. The hero doesn't realize he's in love.
2. The present-day story is the main focus, with the past interspersed.
3. The palace intrigue is lighthearted, but the romance is intense. The social system is modeled on the Tang dynasty, with some original elements.
4. This is a completely self-indulgent work, so expect a lot of wild writing.
Theme: Everyone can live life in their own way.
