Sweet as Honey, Smooth as Oil [Gourmet]

Completed work: False Phoenix, False Phoenix (GL)

Eight years ago, Xu Qinghe was a famous little beauty, so shy and bashful that she seemed soft enough to melt. One extra glance from someone would make her whole face turn red.

Eight years later, Xu Qinghe was famous in a very different way.

Ask around the neighborhood, and anyone could tell you a thing or two:

"You mean that fiery woman? She's got a bit of charm, but her face is scarred. She's getting on in years and still hasn't married. It's a shame."

Xu Qinghe thought this was probably how she would spend the rest of her life.

But she never imagined she'd wake from a nap with a knife pressed to her throat.

That one moment would change the course of her entire life.
