Jie Yuhua or the Blade in the Sleeve

Everyone says the Ning'an Marquis household is the perfect family, the envy of all: the marquis and his wife are devoted to each other, and the family is full of loving parents and filial children. Little do they know that beneath all that splendor lies a rotten core, concealed behind a facade of peace.

He thought she was the woman who understood him, only to discover she wasn't as harmless as he had imagined. He thought she understood his ambitions. Little did he know that a beauty's blade is deadly with every strike. She was never who he thought she was. From the very beginning, she had planned to take revenge on him.

A tender trap, a deadly lure, drawing you into its snare.

Content warnings: 1. The male lead is not chaste, has children, and is no good person. He's an ambitious schemer. The female lead focuses on her career and on taking revenge by bringing him down.

2. This should be a tragic ending.
