The Villainess Is Delicate and Frail

A wealthy, delicate villainess who comes to her senses * A refined and self-possessed young gentleman, humble and serene

Q: How should a sickly villain with little time left make the most of life?

A: There are plenty of men in the world. Why pine for An Qishan alone?

Everyone in Luojing knew that the young lady of the Marquis's household was in love with the Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. But whenever people heard about it, they all shook their heads and sighed that it was such a pity for Lord An.

The young lady of the Marquis's household was famous, though not for anything good. She was spoiled and jealous.

When Liu Zhouzhou first heard about it, she scoffed. That was until she suddenly realized she was a villain, and a sickly, short-lived one at that...

A short-lived villain who would die without ever winning a shred of his affection.

She suddenly came to her senses and stopped focusing on him. All she thought about now was enjoying life while she could.

Liu Zhouzhou's mother nervously tried to persuade her: "Zhouzhou, the newly crowned top scholar is in love with you. Do you... want to..."

Liu Zhouzhou, who should have flown into a rage, instead nodded gently. "I'll leave it to you, Mother."

Her mother stared at her in disbelief. "?!"

After bringing it up hundreds of times, how had she suddenly changed her mind?

Liu Zhouzhou had moved on, but An Qishan was devastated.

The woman who used to run into him three times a day had suddenly vanished from his sight?

When he first heard she was meeting the newly crowned top scholar, he only scoffed calmly. She was just playing hard to get!

When he heard they were checking their birth dates for compatibility, he merely narrowed his eyes. She was only pretending to hold back!

Then a subordinate told him, "My lord, it seems they've set the date! The eighth day of the eighth month..."

The man's lips pressed into a cold line, and the jade ring he had been rolling between his fingers shattered to pieces.

"Go get her!"

The man stared darkly at Liu Zhouzhou, radiant as the moon, and took her fair hand. "What, you stopped flirting halfway through?"

Liu Zhouzhou: "?!!"

An Qishan gave a cold laugh. "Did I ever agree to that?"

Liu Zhouzhou stared dazedly at the possessiveness in the man's eyes, then blinked and bit her red lip. This... didn't seem right.
