[The female lead is a highly intelligent mastermind. This story has a happy ending!]
Shang Han was frail and had been promised in marriage since childhood, but knew nothing about the man she was to marry.
After the Shang family ancestral home was robbed, they offered a hefty sum the next day to hire a bodyguard. A young man surnamed Tang, handsome, strong, and tragically unfortunate, was being harassed and threatened by his cousin, who had a taste for men.
So Shang Han hired him to guard the house. She assumed a young man would be grateful, hardworking, and obedient. Instead, he kept disappearing and throwing tantrums, and wherever there was a commotion, there he was.
Late one night, he even leaned over her bed to stare at her sleeping face. "...Is this really my wife?"
The head of the Shang family died suddenly, and all their relatives gathered on an island to hear the will read.
Standing beside the lawyer reading it was a refined assistant with gold-rimmed glasses and a face as handsome as jade. His surname was Tang, too.
As everyone prepared to fight over the inheritance, Assistant Tang tried to use his position for personal gain and coax her into eloping with him. "...You can ask me for help, you know."
Shang Han couldn't withstand someone's relentless attention night and day, and became pregnant early.
They registered their marriage during the day and held a banquet that evening. Their guests came from every walk of life.
Everyone at the reception treated her husband with utmost respect: Young Master Tang, Teacher Tang, Assistant Tang, Dr. Tang, Tang...
Tang Ledan, whose secret identities had all been exposed, frowned. "Aren't you surprised?"
The sickly Shang Han was more than a match for anyone.
Even pregnant, Shang Han was more than they could handle.
Tang Ledan finally realized that his wife was the deepest-hidden mastermind of all. She could defeat her enemies without shedding blood, and destroy them by striking at their hearts!
Theme: She is the desire of his heart and body, while he is the choice between good and evil in hers.
