The Black Lotus Is Exquisitely Charming

In the eyes of others, Xie Qin commands hundreds of thousands of troops and openly defies the imperial court, on the verge of rebellion.

In truth, he is being controlled by others and desperately needs to introduce a conflict from outside to escape his predicament.

He sets his sights on Xiao Chan, his cousin's maid: of unknown origins, with the beauty of an immortal, and the perfect person to use.

Xie Qin uses a little trickery to keep her by his side. He expects the girl to cry and fuss, but she settles right in and even dares to lord it over him.

He hesitates for a moment, and ends up with a little tyrant on his hands.

Later, when the little tyrant is caught up in doubts about her identity, he reluctantly drives her away. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, he vows to treat her well for the rest of his life.

Xiao Chan spends three years observing Xie Qin, then five months getting close to him.

She's after the military power in his hands, not romance.

But he's as handsome as Pan An, dotes on and protects her, and even wants to make her his wife. It's hard not to fall for him.

Oh, well. She might as well enjoy it for now.

Later, Xie Qin's cousin asks Xiao Chan to honor her promise and help with her revenge.

Xiao Chan gives it her all, but gets outmaneuvered. At that point, all she can do is play along and escape.

When Xie Qin finds her and begs forgiveness, she graciously says she forgives him, and their family of three gets a happy reunion.

Xiao Chan's younger brother can't stand it anymore and tells Xie Qin the truth: "You driving my sister away back then, and even being able to find her now, were all part of her plan."

Xie Qin is so furious he wants to take the child and leave home.

Xiao Chan: "Listen, let me explain..."

Theme: Even in difficult circumstances, don't lose heart. Keep moving forward, and you will find happiness.
