The Green Tea Wife's Mask Fell, and She Regretted It Too Late

Pure-hearted young nobleman X scheming, unhinged young woman.

Shen Yan has a beautiful face that could captivate a hundred men, but she is ruthless in her actions and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

She has always kept two sayings in mind:

First: Heroes can't resist a beautiful woman, and even the strongest steel can be softened.

Second: Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, each flies away alone.

Love and marriage are nothing but tools to her.

To avoid the marriage her stepmother arranged for her, and to remain forever above her younger sister, she makes a few careful moves and gets the Marquis's heir, Jun Shaoling, to come propose to her of his own accord.

Then she looks at her younger sister, who has married into the marquis's household alongside her and ranks below her, and can't help feeling smug. If I want something, I can get it. Men and status are no exception!

But then Jun Shaoling stands behind her. Shen Yan gazes at his gentle face, her own face revealing shock and disappointment for perhaps the first time. For the first time, she feels panic.

Jun Shaoling is the heir to the Marquis's household, with a distinguished family background and handsome looks. He is the dream man of countless noblewomen in the imperial capital, and many wonder what his future bride will be like. When news of his marriage breaks, countless noblewomen weep by the Xiang River.

He pays them no mind, devoting himself wholeheartedly to a woman he has known for only a few days.

Until one day, he receives news that the woman he loves is in grave danger. He rushes to the agreed meeting place, only to hear her jeering without end: “I just like taking your things, including your man. I want you to watch Jun Shaoling obey my every word and cater to my every whim...”

The sword falls from Shen Yan's hand. She turns around, and Jun Shaoling gives a soft laugh before leaving.

Yet before long, Shen Yan still gets her wish and marries into the marquis's household.

Extra scene 1:

That night, Jun Shaoling is unlike his usual gentle self. Every movement is harsh and rough. Shen Yan bears the pain and acts coy with him. “My lord, what's wrong today? Is something on your mind?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

Jun Shaoling holds her face and studies it for a long while, then scoffs. “I was wondering whether you even have a heart. Otherwise, how could it be impossible to warm?”

“My lord, don't say that. I've always loved you.” She tries to cling to him in a panic.

Jun Shaoling gets dressed and looks down at her coldly. “You don't need to act anymore. Stop taking the contraceptive medicine, too. From now on, I won't touch you again, just as you wanted.”

“My lord...” Shen Yan panics. It seems she really is about to lose him.

Theme: Love grows over time.
