Blurb:
Jiang Xinran's father, who was addicted to gambling, sold her as a concubine to Chu Zhe, the heir to the marquis's household. She had heard that Chu Zhe was gentle and refined, exceptionally talented, and a close aide to the emperor. Given her own status, Jiang Xinran thought that becoming his concubine was already a good deal.
But at their first meeting, Chu Zhe's handsome features held a trace of cold arrogance. "You're nothing but a slave I bought. I won't touch you, and don't entertain any unnecessary hopes. I bought you to force my family to call off the marriage they arranged for me. We'll give it a year. Once the engagement is canceled, we'll have nothing to do with each other."
Jiang Xinran lowered her head and replied, "All right."
Before the year was up, Chu Zhe successfully forced his family to cancel the engagement. A friend of his fell in love with Jiang Xinran at first sight and asked Chu Zhe to give her to him. Chu Zhe casually agreed.
As Jiang Xinran packed her things to leave, she encountered Chu Zhe standing tall by the arched gate. Their eyes met. Chu Zhe murmured, "You're... leaving?"
"The young master is giving me to someone else, so of course I have to leave." She finished speaking and walked through the gate without looking back.
Chu Zhe watched helplessly as Jiang Xinran climbed into the carriage. The curtain fell, and from then on he never saw her again. A sudden pain struck his chest.
Chu Zhe was the only son in the marquis's household. His birth mother had been harmed by his stepmother, so from childhood he hated the schemes of the inner quarters. He had sworn never to marry, have children, or establish a household of his own.
But after meeting a woman named Jiang Xinran, he could no longer control his heart. Three days later, he burst into his friend's concubine-taking banquet. "You can't take her as your concubine. She's mine."
His friend: "..."
Both leads are virgins.
This is not a traditional inner-courtyard struggle novel. The focus is on the development of the leads' relationship.
A story about a ruthless man who falls helplessly in love with a clever heroine. He falls for her, but she doesn't fall for him.
It's also a decidedly unconventional story about a man chasing after the woman he lost.
Theme: Love can transcend differences in status
Good-looking, good-looking^O^
Here we go, Chu Zhe is shy. It's rare. Zhen Hui, just say whatever you want. Haha, the relationship has gone a step further.
Score! Zhou Wei is so funny. Haha, Zheng Shuxian's father is not a good person.
Here comes the score! Waiting for Jiang Xinran to accept the crown prince
Chu Zhe was shocked. Chi would probably be with Zheng in the end (you don't need to answer your guess)
Score it! Come on, Chu Zhe really covers everything.
Thanks for the exemption. I like the heroine design very much. But after seeing this, I still don't see the love of the male protagonist for the female protagonist. It feels like he only loves himself... To him, the female protagonist is like an object that he must get if he wants it. He doesn't care about the heroine's thoughts. In reality, it is really scary for a person who has been rejected many times and still pursues her and loses his bottom line because of it.
Such a free and innocent child, but his life ended in the hands of his mother. It was really retribution, but why was it that innocent child? Not his vicious mother?
So infatuated, Chi Mingxuan. It's a pity that love can only last between two people. See you next time.
Here comes the author, thank you for your hard work
