Meng Qinghe grew up walking on eggshells under the might of her legitimate mother. The year she came of age, she was brought back from the country estate to the Marquis's residence. To escape her fate of being married off as the second wife of a Minister of Justice who was already near death, she offered herself to Xie Shu, the second young master of the Chancellor's residence, who was unrivaled in fame at the time, and took a gamble.
Who could have guessed that he would be insatiable? After rising from the bed and fastening his jade belt, he coldly tossed the young concubine-born girl, whose cheeks were still flushed, back before the legitimate mother she had always feared.
"Lust is human nature. I, Xie, understand that. But Miss Meng ought to learn the difference between legitimate and concubine-born children!"
Because of those words from the Xie family's young master, a man who seemed a paragon of virtue and refinement before others, Meng Qinghe was hurriedly sent back to the country estate in a carriage that very night.
The next day, a scandalous rumor spread throughout the capital: the Marquis's third young lady had lost control of herself and tried to attach herself to the Xie family's young master, but failed.
**
Two years later, disaster struck from within. The Crown Prince lost power, while the Sixth Prince, who had been lying low for years, ascended to the throne in a single stroke. He swept aside disloyal ministers and traitors with an iron hand. The Xie family, whose Chancellor had been the former Crown Prince's maternal grandfather, bore the brunt of the purge. The once prosperous and powerful Xie clan suddenly became a target for everyone.
**
To protect her own legitimate daughter, the Marquis's legitimate wife diverted the danger toward Meng Qinghe. She arranged a lavish wedding procession stretching ten miles and once again pushed Meng Qinghe before Xie Shu.
**
By then, Xie Shu had white silk covering his eyes. Guided by someone else, he approached the wedding sedan. Hearing familiar footsteps draw closer, he touched her delicate hand and suddenly realized that the female official of the Imperial Capital's spy bureau, who had secretly schemed at every turn against the Crown Prince, was none other than Meng Qinghe!
That night, gauzy silk veiled their faces, and the red wedding curtains were warm. At the height of their passion, a bewitching, coquettish voice slowly sounded in his ear:
"Xie Shu, take a good look at me now. Am I worthy of you? Oh, I forgot. You can't see anymore."
[Male Lead's Perspective]
Xie Shu had studied the art of balancing power since childhood. Outwardly, he was a modest gentleman, refined and proper. In truth, he wielded influence in court with both hands, all to help the Crown Prince ascend the throne, then use his service in supporting the new emperor to reach a position second only to the emperor, above everyone else. The Outcast.
Earlier, he had lent a hand when the Marquis of Ningyuan's household was in trouble, hoping to win them over. He never imagined that the awkwardly positioned third young lady, Meng Qinghe, would set her sights on him almost at once.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the former Crown Prince requested permission to go to his fief. The Chancellor's residence fell into decline. Not only did Xie Shu injure his eyes in the turmoil and spend his days with white silk over them, he was also forced to marry the concubine-born girl with whom he had once shared a night of passion after giving in to a moment of indulgence!
After they married, Xie Shu planned to keep a low profile and gradually pursue his aims with a show of false affection. But as he continued to keep her by his side, he discovered that this haven of tenderness was truly intoxicating, and he couldn't pull himself away...
Little Scene:
A summer night. Candlelight flickered, and cicadas sang without end.
Inside the green gauze room, silver glimmered across Meng Qinghe's slender feet. A silver chain and jade bells swayed around her ankles, ringing softly.
Xie Shu, perfectly serious: "My lady, tomorrow is Yuanyuan's birthday banquet. As her mother, it's only right that you go out and see to the preparations. Let's turn in early tonight!"
Meng Qinghe, still wanting more, unfastened the silver chain around her foot, gave him an annoyed look, then rolled into his arms.
Meng Qinghe, eyes brimming with tears: "Then next time, will you still let me into your study, my lord?"

Jin Yan grew up in the pleasure quarters. She knew how to charm, possessed the beauty of the moon, and loved admiring gold, jade, silk, and brocade. She was the most celebrated unmarried courtesan in the establishment.
The day before she was to come of age, she was mistaken for the Emperor's youngest daughter with the Empress, who had been lost among the common people. An imperial envoy brought her to the palace, and overnight she soared to great heights, becoming the beloved jewel Yuan Di cherished.
At a palace banquet, she ran into the familiar-looking heir of the Duke of Zhenguo. An unpleasant memory suddenly surfaced:
One night, she had rescued Pei Jingmo, who was being hunted and badly wounded. Seeing his fine clothes and priceless jade, she immediately decided to use her act of kindness to extort a hefty sum from him.
Once his wounds healed, the man left her a jade pendant as collateral and promised to redeem it three months later. But before the deadline arrived, she had already used the token to enter the palace and become the most doted-on little princess in the imperial family.
Jin Yan was terrified. She packed her belongings in the middle of the night and prepared to run away under the pretext of going into seclusion to cultivate.
To her surprise, Pei Jingmo intercepted her at the city gate. The man lifted her curtain to reveal her lovely, almond-shaped eyes and her pitiable, delicate appearance.
"Young master, what do you want?"
Pei Jingmo recalled those intoxicating nights from months ago. His heart stirred faintly as he raised a hand and took hold of her chin. "When you were flirting with me by tugging at my belt, why weren't you this shy?"
Jin Yan tremulously enjoyed the stolen splendor. After thinking it over, she decided that relying on her beauty was no way to secure a future. While Pei Jingmo was away fighting on the northern frontier, she resolutely took her little bundle, tucked her child inside her, and left the bustling, troubled capital.
Pei Jingmo secretly planned that once he returned victorious from the battle, he would personally ask the Emperor for permission to marry Princess Sui'an.
Who could have expected that on the very first day of his victorious return, he would discover that the fake princess had vanished?

Forget it, having seen this, I quite like my brother. The younger brother Yanran Linghua and Shen Yaoan are the four most normal people in this article. Originally, I came here for the yandere heroine, and I didn't expect there to be any wife-chasing crematorium. At least the male and female protagonists could fight back and forth... And then there was no more... The female characters in this article, who have never been in a spy agency, I think they all have quite unique personalities. At first, I thought Yanran was too soft. She doesn't like the soft girls. She really doesn't lose her chain at critical moments.
The difference between dog men and good sisters Dog Man: Anyway, your brother is dead, why don't you just go to Balabala? Good sister: Take care, your brother is still alive.
Until now!! Why does it feel like I'm still abusing the heroine!!
I already want to see the urns of the male protagonist and Rong...
The heroine is really a genius, she calmly withdraws
Looking for compensation from a woman who was expelled from the royal family, Rong is too much of a man...
I think it's good that Empress Ayaka takes the throne, but you can't let a doggy man get what he wants.
I can't quite understand Gu Lingchao's behavior... He obviously came out, but then took the initiative to go in. Now that he has a child, it's even harder to escape... I'll wait for an answer.
Congratulations to my brother and Yanran! Now the pressure is on the male protagonist's side...
The feeling that Gu Lingchao set up this person is really not very good.
