The Secret Life of a Pampered Lover

Synopsis

Ning Luan once harbored a secret so shameful she could hardly bring herself to acknowledge it. It was about her master, Qin Yu.

By day, she was Qin Yu's most obedient disciple. No one knew that each night, in her dreams, she became a rebellious disciple who violated the bond between master and student.

She thought all her transgressions were just wishful dreams, but after one dream, she found a blue tassel belonging only to Qin Yu beside her bed.

Later, her master sent her away on an errand. Before leaving, she boldly tugged at his sleeve, took his hand as she had in her dreams, and gently held the tip of his finger in her mouth. Her hair fell behind her ear, revealing an earring made from a blue tassel.

Qin Yu's eyes were dark and unreadable. His fingers moved slightly, brushing her lips and ear, but in the end he said nothing.

A few days later, Ning Luan was imprisoned, badly wounded and close to death. The woman holding her captive smiled and called someone over. The newcomer wore a calm expression and didn't even look at Ning Luan. He simply said, "You wanted her, so I brought her to you. Do whatever you like with her. Why make me come all the way here?" It was Qin Yu.

As Ning Luan lay on the verge of death that day, she vaguely saw a man: Zhongli Jiu, the mad uncle-master she'd always feared.

He looked at her with an unflinchingly direct gaze, gently rubbing her earlobe with his fingers as he asked quietly, "If I save you, will you repay me?"

Her pale lips moved. Only when he leaned closer could he hear her: "I'll give you whatever you want, Uncle-Master. Just please... save me."

Her promise was nothing more than a desperate, empty offer. She never expected that from then on she would be kept in a gilded cage, surrounded by sumptuous beds and cushions, with no way to escape.

Zhongli Jiu was a madman, through and through.

The first time he met Ning Luan, he nearly took her life.

Once he came to his senses, he vaguely remembered her frightened, pretty face. She seemed to be a beauty.

When they met again, the beauty called him "Uncle-Master," and he only sneered.

During the three years they lived together at the Qin family estate, she avoided him as if he were a demon or a fiend.

She had no idea that he saw her as a delicacy on his plate, and had been coveting her for a long time.

The Medicine's Catalyst

Synopsis:

Princess Xianyang had always heard that Shen Qian was the most forthright gentleman in the imperial capital, a man with so few worldly desires he had one foot in a Buddhist temple.

So one night, when she accidentally took an aphrodisiac and could barely bear it, she had no hesitation in seducing Shen Qian into becoming the catalyst for her antidote.

Her fingers brushed over the silk ribbons tied around her clothes as she said to him, "Saving a life is worth more than building seven pagodas. Uncle Imperial, you are a kind-hearted man. Could you really bear to watch me die in disgrace, my reputation ruined?"

Shen Qian was indeed a gentleman, and he played the part of a medicine's catalyst very properly. His face looked like that of a saint saving someone in dire straits, without a trace of lust.

That was perfect. He was handsome, discreet, and didn't cling to her. She could use him and then walk away without a care.

But later, she found out that the aphrodisiac she'd taken that night hadn't been an accident. Someone had plotted against her, and after investigating, she discovered that the culprit was none other than him!

She went to confront Shen Qian with the evidence, only to be trapped on a narrow couch. He still looked as forthright as ever as he bent down and smiled. "Very well. Now that you've seen through me, I suppose... there's no need for me to keep pretending."

Everyone said Shen Qian was the most upright and aloof gentleman in the world, but she alone had seen his shameless side.

He spoke in grand, righteous terms while acting like a brazen libertine. Behind layer upon layer of curtains, he forced her to repeat "Uncle Imperial" until the words were crushed into fragments and she could never say them again.

An arrogant, domineering heroine x a scheming hypocrite of a hero

Note: He is her uncle by marriage, not by blood.

Theme: You can turn things around even in adversity!
