After She Played with Their Feelings and Abandoned Them

The author has temporarily lost their touch, so updates will be paused for a while. As the eldest daughter of the Vice Minister of Rites, Gu Miaomiao is a good-for-nothing who spends her days consorting with men, indulging in cockfighting and dog racing, and doing every manner of disgraceful thing. She is a notorious wayward young lady throughout the capital. Lord Gu is at his wit's end. With no other choice, he selects the most proper and well-mannered of his former students, Wei Xunqing, and asks him to take Gu Miaomiao on as a pupil and discipline his daughter in his place. Wei Xunqing is handsome and refined, as aloof as an immortal banished from the heavens. Unfortunately, he is far too strict with Gu Miaomiao. Unwilling to accept this, Gu Miaomiao pulls out every trick in her book and finally manages to seduce him, savoring all the pleasures this immortal has to offer. Only after getting him does Gu Miaomiao regret it deeply. A handsome man is still a nuisance. She wants to go horseback riding with the young master of a general's family, but he won't allow it. She wants to go boating with the son of the Grand Tutor, but he stops her. If she so much as glances at another man, Wei Xunqing's expression darkens. Gu Miaomiao can no longer put up with it. She simply has someone write a cruel breakup letter for her, scolding Wei Xunqing harshly, and goes back to enjoying the carefree life she had before. Unexpectedly, overnight, everything changes. Wei Xunqing, a mere commoner, turns out to be the eldest son of the late empress, switched at birth. Once his identity is restored, Wei Xunqing rises to a position second only to the emperor, becoming The Outcast, and formally takes up residence in the Eastern Palace. He then asks the emperor to grant him a marriage to Gu Miaomiao. Everyone praises the current crown prince as virtuous and upright, and grateful for kindness. To repay the favor of having once been recognized, he has actually married Gu Miaomiao, the disgraced daughter of a mere Vice Minister of Rites, as his crown princess. Little do they know that on their wedding night, the man's long, elegant fingers lift her red veil. His eyes are dark and fathomless as he grips Gu Miaomiao's chin and asks, word by word, "I wonder, am I worthy of Miss Gu now?" A few things to know before you start: 1. The male lead is no good man, and the female lead isn't exactly a good person either. 2. The male lead has always loved the female lead. There is no revenge plot. 3. Set in an alternate history. Theme: One should always repay kindness.
