The Pei family is a Qingliu family praised by everyone in the capital.
But only Li Xinbo knew how dirty and rancid beneath the flowers.
As the second wife of the Pei family, her family fell into decline and she became a prisoner.
She enjoys breaking dishes and insulting her elders every day.
Everyone laughed at her as a hopeless mad woman, looked down upon her with disdain, and allowed her to be filled with resentment.
Until that day, she met a boy.
He was said to be a young man, and Li Xinpu recognized him. He was the only bloodline left by the previous head of the Pei family - and he was also the only life-saving straw that he could hold on to when he was in jail.
Li Xinbo smiled. She squatted in front of him, lifted his chin, and smiled softly and enchantingly:
"Do you hate it? Let me help you."
——
At first, Li Xinpu just thought he had picked up a useful knife.
She taught him how to hide his edge, how to wield power, and how to break the bones of his enemies one by one with a smile.
She watched him climb from a humble servant to a powerful position, and became a rising star in the officialdom of the capital.
This is just a transaction. They huddle together for warmth in a land surrounded by wolves, walking hand in hand, each getting what they need.
Li Xinpu never thought that one day she would hear three words from him:
"I love you."
Intention: Never give up
