My Lady Is Irresistible

Blurb One: Zhao Yan is framed by her stepmother, and wakes up in a brothel. Fortunately, a benefactor comes to her rescue, and she escapes the flames. Benefactor: "You once said you would repay me for saving your life. Do you remember?" "Zhao Yan would never forget. If there's anything I can do for you, Young Master, just give the word. I'd gladly work like an ox or a horse to repay you." Benefactor: "Then be my wife." "But..." The benefactor laughs heartily. "Just pretend to be my wife. We'll keep it up until I truly marry, or until you no longer want to. Then you're free to go." But one day, the benefactor traps Zhao Yan on the couch and whispers in her ear, "Be my wife. How could that be freedom?" * * Blurb Two: "Investigate. Find that man. Cut off his hands first, then chop off his legs. Tear him to pieces! The nerve of him, daring to steal a woman from me, Lu Zhixiao!" Lu Zhixiao slammed his hand down on the table. "Yes, Young Master." The attendant bowed with his hands clasped, then drew his knife and pointed it at Lu Zhixiao's arm. "What are you doing?" "Following your orders. I'll cut off your hand first." The attendant raised his knife and kept gesturing. "As far as I know, that sachet was made for you, and the Young Madam has eyes for no one but you." Reading guide: Marriage first, love later. Theme: Think before you speak and act with caution
