On her wedding night, Yingying’s coarse, violent husband gets drunk and dies.
Everyone in the Marquis’s household pities Yingying for becoming a widow so soon. Only Yingying squeezes tears from her eyes with an onion, thinking Heaven has finally opened its eyes.
The only drawback is that she has no children, making it hard to hold on to the family fortune.
With no other choice, she sets her sights on her late husband’s cousin, hoping to borrow a child from him.
The eldest young master, Pei Jingyan, manages the household. He has the looks of an immortal, but a heart as cold as ice, and no interest in romance.
When he sees her, his cold gaze is sharp as a blade, without the slightest hint of affection. “I don’t like filthy things.”
Filthy?
Yingying looks herself over, baffled, then holds out her jade-like wrist before him. “I wash very thoroughly. I even soak in flower petals. Don’t believe me? Have a sniff.”
The eldest young master pauses for a breath, then silently throws her out.
And then... then Yingying can never sneak into his room again??

The younger generation of the Pei family has long suffered under the strict household rules. But ever since their second sister-in-law arrived, life has become much more relaxed.
They hear that a troupe of acrobats has come to the Tianxiang Tower. Bare-chested performers show off their muscles and strong physiques as they dance with hundred-pound broadswords. Who wouldn’t want to go and see the spectacle?
So Yingying makes the decision and, while Pei Jingyan is away, sneaks out with a group of eager youngsters...
The next day, a whole row of youngsters kneels outside the ancestral hall, copying out the household rules as punishment.
As they furiously write, one of them says innocently, “See? Second Brother’s memorial tablet is right there in the ancestral hall. No matter what, Big Brother won’t punish Second Sister-in-Law.”
Yingying arrives with fruit and pastries to check on them. Her legs go weak, and she nearly cries, unwilling to remember what happened.
Actually, she was punished, and quite severely...
Pei Jingyan, having gotten a taste of sex, is truly terrifying.
A ditzy beauty and a cold, abstinent man
Theme: Every step of perseverance brings victory closer.
