Cui Weichi transmigrated to ancient times ten years ago, and her life has been peaceful and comfortable. She has a husband who loves her and the rather respectable title of Madam Sima of Yangzhou. Everything in the Sima household is lovely, except that it’s a little short on company. So when the couple happens upon a young man, they rescue him and take him in as a student of the household to keep Cui Weichi entertained. The young man is sweet, sensible, and exceptionally thoughtful. He’s always finding new ways to make Cui Weichi happy. He comes up with all kinds of tempting dishes and pastries, and his makeup skills are even better than the maids’. Cui Weichi grows especially fond of him. As time goes by, the two become closer and closer, sharing everything. Then one day, her husband comes home after a long absence, only to leave again in a hurry. At first, Cui Weichi doesn’t think much of it, but one careless remark from the young man makes her suspicious. Her husband is always appearing and disappearing without warning, and the servants in the household behave strangely. With the young man hinting at the truth time and again, Cui Weichi uncovers one ugly secret after another. It turns out their supposed deep and loving relationship was all an act. Cui Weichi acts decisively and ends the broken relationship. She assumes she’ll never enter another romance again. But she never realizes she had already stumbled into a web called “Wei Zhiyi” long ago. It turns out the person who has always stayed by her side is no orphan who lost his parents young. He is the current emperor’s most beloved grandson, with a claim to the throne even more secure than the crown prince’s: the “living face of the crown prince.” - Cui Weichi can’t accept that the good student she once valued most not only lied to her but also tried to drag her into an abyss of forbidden desire. But whenever she tries to pull away, she’s bewitched by his pitiful expression. Wei Zhiyi’s dark eyes take on a different hue. Leaning against her, he looks up at her and reveals his beautiful face. “...Sister Cui, don’t you want me anymore?” Reader’s guide: 1. The female lead isn’t a virgin, while the male lead is.

Upcoming story: The Honest Little Ox Catches Nezha’s Eye Qing Si is a green ox spirit under the Old Lord. She isn’t the old green ox, but the calf born after the old ox secretly ate one of the Old Lord’s fertility pills. Qing Si is simple and honest. She loves nibbling the tender grass in the courtyard and the oranges her ox dad occasionally brings her. Her life is perfectly pleasant, until one day a monkey with a furry face and a thunder-god’s mouth barges in. He eats the Old Lord’s pills like candy and even steals her favorite oranges. Qing Si feels wronged, but doesn’t dare say a word. She’s afraid the monkey will beat her up. She may look tough, but she’s actually terrible at handling pain. But Qing Si never imagined she’d dodge the Ruyi Jingu Bang of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, only to fail to dodge Nezha’s Universe Ring and Fire-Tipped Spear. One day, she goes down to the mortal world with her ox dad to clear fields and plow land for the people, hoping to bring auspicious blessings to those who are suffering and help them enjoy an even better harvest the following year. After Qing Si finishes her work with a grunt, she gets ready to go into town to buy herself some oranges as a reward. Then she spots an ugly man harassing a beautiful young woman. He’s muttering about eating her alive and tearing her limb from limb. He’s definitely an evil demon who eats people! A brave little ox never lets an evil demon run amok. So Qing Si charges in and sends the demon flying with her horns, then buys the poor beauty’s freedom. Afterward, Qing Si is very pleased with herself, completely unaware that the beautiful woman she rescued is the deadly Third Prince Nezha, and the ugly demon she sent flying was just a minion working for some great demon, lured out by the Third Prince. So when Qing Si returns to Heaven, the Third Prince soon sets his sights on her. He finds new ways to torment her every day, but Qing Si has no idea what she did to offend this fearsome god of death. Just when she can’t take it anymore, the Old Lord suddenly gives her ox dad a mission in the mortal world. As it turns out, while she was busy rescuing people below, Sun Wukong caused trouble again. This time he knocked over the Old Lord’s alchemy furnace and wreaked havoc in Heaven. The Buddha has now trapped him beneath Five Elements Mountain. According to the Old Lord, someone will come later to free the monkey, but the journey to retrieve the scriptures requires eighty-one trials, and both the Buddhist and Daoist schools are eager to take part. The Old Lord suggests sending his own green ox down to the mortal world. It’s just like getting a pillow handed to you when you’re nodding off. Qing Si is so fed up with Nezha harassing her that she volunteers for this miserable assignment. As long as the Old Lord sends her somewhere that produces lots of oranges. And so Qing Si hurries down to the mortal world and takes up the post of mountain bandit chieftain. But before the four pilgrims arrive, the deadly god who stole an orange right from her mouth and won’t leave her alone shows up instead. That impossibly beautiful face draws close as he narrows his eyes at her bandit-chieftain outfit. “Chieftain, don’t you think we’ve met somewhere before?” If she says yes, he’ll realize she was trying to avoid him, and he definitely won’t let her off. If she says no, won’t this infamous god of death just kill her? His weapons are no joke. So Qing Si has a “flash of inspiration.” “Guards!” “Yes, Chieftain?” “Give our honored guest a seat!” Seeing that Nezha is completely off guard, Qing Si quietly takes out the Diamond Bangle.
