After Mistaking the Black-Bellied Heir for a Good Person

[Sweet, delicate, innocent beauty x Two-faced, cunning marquis's heir] [Mutual pining | A touch of possessive coercion] As a young noblewoman, Ruan Nanzhi had always been drawn to gentlemen as refined as jade. New to the capital, she was accidentally caught up in palace intrigue and nearly made a scapegoat. Just when she was about to be condemned, the noble and honorable heir to the Duke of Jing's household stepped forward and proved her innocence. Looking at the man's stunning, enchanting face and proper, principled conduct, Ruan Nanzhi thought he was exactly her ideal type... Her heart began to pound. The heir really is such a good person! TvT * Jiang Yanli, heir to the Duke of Jing, was elegant and distinguished, the most flawless moon in the eyes of the world. No one knew that the moment he accidentally caught sight of Ruan Nanzhi's slender, pale nape, Jiang Yanli had developed improper thoughts about her. Whatever the pretext, he would keep her by his side and make her his. Just then, Ruan Nanzhi's father became embroiled in a case. Her relatives wanted nothing to do with her, leaving her isolated and helpless. After much deliberation, the only person she could turn to for help was the heir who had once come to her aid. * Afterward, Ruan Nanzhi was kept in an outer residence. One day, when she went alone to Jiang Yanli's estate, she unexpectedly discovered his secret. Every letter on the desk contained details about her life, and some were dated from before they had even met. He had even known the ins and outs of her father's case all along. Ruan Nanzhi felt as if she had been struck by lightning. At last, fear made her see the truth: What happened to the virtuous, desireless gentleman? It turned out he had been plotting this from the very beginning. * The beauty's eyes brimmed with tears. Her graceful, slender neck was flushed, her snowy skin blushing with shyness. At the sight of the newcomer, she instinctively turned to flee. That gesture of resistance shattered the man's carefully maintained appearance of gentleness. His tall frame blocked her path. He reached out and caught her with ease. His large hand gripped her slender waist. His gaze darkened, and his thin lips curved in a cold, almost amused smile.
