#Delicate, beautiful beggar girl vs vicious, brooding old fox#

[Her perspective]

In her previous life, Jing Shu was taken in by Shen Nianzhen and brought to the Duke of Ning's manor, where she became his concubine. In the end, his legal wife had her body dumped in the wilderness, and she died a miserable death.

Reborn on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, Jing Shu was determined to escape her former fate. Gritting her teeth, she knocked on that man's door.

[His perspective]

Everyone knew that Shen Jing, the Duke of Ning, doted on his cousin, Shen Jingshu. The noble young men of Chang'an hoped to curry favor with the Duke's household, so they all went to ask for her hand, only to be turned away.

At night, Shen Jing held the soft, delicate beauty in his arms, his warm palm resting on her slightly rounded belly. "Did the baby bother you today?"

[Extra scene]

Jing Shu knew that Shen Jing never showed his feelings, but was incredibly petty underneath. She had merely exchanged a few words with another man, and he'd locked her in her room to copy out books.

Shen Jing stood behind her, touching her face as he pointed at two characters on the page. Though he knew perfectly well, he asked, "What does this say?"

Jing Shu blushed when she saw it, her long, curled lashes trembling as she answered in a sweet, innocent voice, "Husband."

Content warnings:

Innocent, obedient little bunny vs stern, rigid old man

Zhou Qingyue had a crush on a girl. She was beautiful and gentle, and even spoke softly. He studied hard and finally got into the same university as her. But the girl was aloof and didn't like talking to people, so he tried every way he could to get close to her, hoping to catch one more glimpse of her. Every day, Zhou Qingyue got up early just to sit in the same row as her.

Later, he worked up the courage to visit her home for the first time to celebrate her birthday.

The girl he liked opened the door. He held flowers and beamed with delight, not noticing her awkwardly tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, the unusual flush on her face, or the faint red marks on her neck.

"Happy birthday," he said nervously.

"Thank you." Tang Yiyi hadn't expected him to show up and was a little surprised. She thanked him, but didn't take the flowers.

Zhou Qingyue left, heartbroken. What he didn't know was that a mature man in loungewear was sitting on the sofa inside, legs crossed as he elegantly sipped his coffee.

[Extra scene]

Tang Yiyi was aloof, but after starting university, Zhou Duo helped her gradually learn how to socialize.

She was beautiful, and many people pursued her. Zhou Duo happened to see dozens of love letters on her pale pink desk.

When Tang Yiyi realized the love letters she'd brought home had disappeared, she stormed into the study to confront the man. She was still wearing his oversized shirt, sitting astride his lap as she blushed and protested, "Uncle Zhou, you're so out of line! You took my things without asking me."

Zhou Duo looked down at her, letting the little cat in his arms bare her claws with newfound courage, throwing her weight around because she knew he doted on her.

Later, he gripped her waist and listened to her voice grow quieter than a cat's. In a hoarse whisper, he said in her ear, "Weren't you so bold? Why did you stop yelling?"

"The greatest happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved, loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." Les Miserables
