Reborn on the eve of her family sending a beauty to curry favor with Prince Guangling.
Mei Rong is the most beautiful woman in the Mei family, but also the lowest-born. She grits her teeth and turns to seduce her impoverished cousin, who is staying at the Mei residence.
Her little scheme is already clicking into place.
With a dowry and a few tricks of her own, all she has to do is keep her handsome, poor husband in line, and she can live a carefree life, doing whatever she pleases. Well, cross that out: a pleasantly easy life.
Her cousin may be a little poor, but he's handsome! Good-tempered! Kind!
However you look at it, he's a much better choice than becoming a concubine to that deranged Prince Guangling, who has a harem full of beauties and is about to rebel and die.
But not long after they marry, while she's acting sweet and coaxing her good-tempered husband into serving her tea and water, rubbing her waist and beating her back, she watches as the military seal and credentials belonging to Prince Guangling slip out of her gentle, doting husband's sleeve!
Mei Rong's almond-shaped eyes widen: ...?!
Seeing his wife's lovely face turn deathly pale in an instant, Yin Zhan drops the act. He slowly bends down and clamps his long, jade-like fingers around the beauty's slender neck.
A shadow of icy menace falls over his handsome features, yet his thin lips curve up slightly. In a mild tone, he asks, "A Rong, do you know what this is?"
Mei Rong's vision goes dark. Oh no, I'm done for!

Jiangnan has nothing else to offer, so I send a branch of spring."
