【Money-loving, naturally airheaded village girl × sharp-tongued, favored heir】
Xu Yingfeng found a gravely wounded man in the mountains, and she knew he was a man of immense power and influence.
So she decided to pretend she had no idea who he really was. She would treat him carefully, look after him, reform him, and finally receive a generous reward...
Xie Juzhi had been badly wounded for reasons beyond his control, then made matters worse by being repeatedly tormented by a country girl. And she was an utterly money-grubbing country girl at that.
So he decided to pretend to be a kind, pitiful invalid. He would carefully educate her, keep her in line, use her, and in the end treat her like a worthless pawn and discard her without a second thought...

Until one day, Xu Yingfeng suddenly realized that the man was nothing but a poor scholar. He was neither rich nor noble, and he had been freeloading off her.
The gentle country girl revealed her true colors and began squeezing every last bit out of her patient. If she couldn't get her money back, she might as well take the handsome man's virtue instead.
But before he could agree to her invitation to share a bed, he vanished without a trace.
Xu Yingfeng ground her teeth in fury, and couldn't help harboring a deep grudge.
Times changed, and the world was transformed. With no other choice, Xu Yingfeng went with a friend to the capital, where she took patients at a medical clinic, listening to their pulses from behind a curtain each day.
On a sunny day, a slender, elegant hand reached out. Xu Yingfeng felt the pulse through the curtain, and the more she looked at the hand, the more familiar it seemed.
At last, when she recognized it and turned to run, the hand seized hers as she tried to pull it back. The curtain was suddenly swept aside.
A shadow fell across his jade-like face. Xie, the heir whose noble bearing and extraordinary gifts had captivated every young lady in the capital, smiled coldly. “I haven't even offered myself to you yet. Why are you leaving, benefactor?”
Xu Yingfeng wrung her hands in distress. It wasn't just him she'd saved: she'd also rescued ministers of state, aristocrats, and members of the imperial clan... She'd already made a fortune doing it, and didn't need him anymore.
Xie Juzhi: ??? Is public safety really this bad in Great Zhen?

【Short skit】On a rooftop
Guard A: “We've been keeping an eye on Miss Xu for ages. What have you figured out?”
Guard B: “Who is that man? The heir has it so rough. He even washed his hands and made her a meal, and our Miss Xu has another snail prince now.”
Guard A: “...”

The heroine is half-educated, often says outrageous things, and is number one at getting under people's skin (but she can read).
The hero is furious enough to feel it in his liver, yet still manages to convince himself she's in love with him. A true iron-liver talent.
【Reader's Guide】
1. Both leads are inexperienced and faithful, need I say more? A sweet, light romance driven by their relationship.
2. The heroine is a plain farmer's daughter, with no secret twist. Her mother has no noble background.
3. A short story with almost no court intrigue. Everything else serves the romance between the leads.
Coming soon: The next story, “Tempting My Friend's Wife”
Xiao Wenyu and her husband are close and devoted, perfectly in tune with each other.
One day, her husband is humiliated and framed by a local gentry family, and thrown into prison. Furious and heartbroken, Xiao Wenyu beats the court drum to plead her husband's case.
The sound of the drum draws a refined, noble young gentleman. He helps her to her feet, stands up for her, and secures her husband's release.
He is the benefactor of the entire Zhuang family, and both Xiao Wenyu and her husband hold him in the highest regard.
But after her husband is released, his former integrity slowly fades. The man who once kept himself honest and above reproach grows increasingly devious and impossible to read, and the affection between husband and wife gradually wears away.
When she has nowhere else to turn, it is once again this gentleman who offers her a place to stay.
Xiao Wenyu has no choice but to lodge at his estate for a while and seek another way forward.
The gentleman is considerate and scrupulous about propriety, never once overstepping. But after day upon day of his gentle care, Xiao Wenyu develops feelings she should not have.
Ashamed of betraying her husband and profaning her benefactor, she resolves to take her leave and go far away.
But beneath the wall, she suddenly hears the gentleman speak with a laughing confidence:
“Zhuang couldn't resist the temptations of the world and failed to keep his wife. How can he blame me?”

Translation, Xie Langjun's face was filled with emotion~
It tied the knot in one breath, and the young couple had a sweet daily meeting with Modo Modo. Although reading the words and introduction, it felt like there was going to be a big misunderstanding soon. In the past, every time I saw the introduction without a full stop, I immediately ran away from my suspicion of the writing style, but I almost missed such a cute article [A Dog's Head Holds a Rose]
