Blurb:
In the eyes of everyone at the Duke of Kaiguo's residence, Ren Fuyi was a dull, timid fake young lady who had come along when her widowed mother remarried. But this fake young lady had wicked intentions: she dared to covet the lofty heir.
Her stepfather reprimanded her, her stepmother warned her, and even the heir went out of his way to keep his distance, as if afraid she'd cling to him.
Though Ren Fuyi had already proved her innocence by taking her own life after being humiliated, the executioners at her funeral felt no remorse. They continued spreading rumors that she'd died for love because the heir was about to become engaged.
Ren Fuyi was so furious she came back to life.
Reborn, she chained the heir, whom everyone called pure and noble, to the bed, humiliated him, toyed with him, and then tossed him aside.
The tables turned. The heir begged her to stay, offering to marry her as his principal wife.
Ren Fuyi sneered. What did she care about being someone's principal wife?
After settling all the scores from her past life, Ren Fuyi left the Duke's residence and returned to her old home in Jiangnan to start over. She planned to carry on her ancestors' brush-making craft, but kept crossing paths with the Fourth Prince, who had come there to recuperate.
*
The first time the Fourth Prince saw Ren Fuyi, she'd just risen from the dead at her funeral and was humiliating her sworn brother.
To his surprise, the next time they met, she was humiliating her sworn brother again. At the time, he only found it unexpected. So she wasn't as dull as she seemed. He'd already grouped her with the heir in his mind.
But when fate brought Ren Fuyi before him, he found himself wanting to steal her away.
Ren Fuyi never took the bait. He had no choice but to resort to low tactics. Beneath the sheets, he played helpless, telling her how unloved and miserable he was, and how he'd been exiled. On the bed, he showed his strength and flaunted what he had to offer.
When their passion ran high, he clung to Ren Fuyi and asked, “Could you treat me the way you treated him that night?”
After all his efforts, he finally got Ren Fuyi to agree to return to the capital with him.
*
When the heir heard that the Fourth Prince he'd entrusted with looking after his fiancée had stolen her away, he flew into a rage and set out to confront him. But before he could even leave the house, he heard that the Fourth Prince had been named Crown Prince after repeatedly distinguishing himself in Jiangnan, and that Ren Fuyi, whose handmade Huzhou brushes had become the finest in the land, had been named Crown Princess.
· A cold exterior and warm heart, with a gloomy heroine x a seemingly sickly but truly theatrical hero
· One-on-one, both leads' first time, the second male lead wins
· The heroine and the heir are not engaged. The heir is in love with her alone.
· Customs and social conditions will be based on history, but don't scrutinize the details. Treat it as a fictional setting.
