Hopelessly Enamored with the Male Lead

Yuluan was the adopted daughter of Prince Lushan. Every powerful man he sent her to win over ended up doing his bidding. Yet after months of trying to get close to the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had just returned from battle, she had little to show for it. That was until the marquis's younger brother was framed and imprisoned by Prince Lushan's men. Everyone urged Yu Cheng to endure humiliation for his brother's sake and get leverage over Yuluan, then make her act against Prince Lushan. For his brother's sake, Yu Cheng bore the indignity of facing Yuluan when she came calling for the ninth time. The next day, Yu Cheng's eyes darkened as he told her, "Work for me, and I'll be yours." The lovely woman beside him nodded obediently, the corners of her eyes flushed red. Later, the dynasty fell, and Prince Lushan met a gruesome end. Fanning herself, Yuluan escaped the prince's control. At last, she no longer had to pretend she was helplessly infatuated with Yu Cheng. She left Yu Cheng a letter, rather hypocritically expressing her insecurity that she wasn't worthy of coveting him. She also said she was going to find someone to marry and have children with, so he needn't worry. The day Yuluan disappeared from the capital, Yu Cheng turned the whole city upside down. His subordinates were anxious to kill the adopted daughter of Prince Lushan. "If you don't pull up the roots, weeds will grow back when spring comes!" Yu Cheng's face darkened. In a low voice, he said, "Have children? She'd better not dare!" From the heroine's perspective: Yuluan had never used herself to win anyone over. That is, until she met a man who couldn't stop imagining things. He scowled and gave himself to her.

For the sake of freedom, Yuluan smiled and gritted her teeth as she put up with it. A heroine who never wants to work for anyone x a taciturn, secretly flirtatious hero P.S.
