Also known as: "I Swear I'll Unmask the Heartthrob"
[Heroine: A stunning, flirtatious little green tea]
Because of a Taoist priest's prophecy, A Tao was raised as a boy from childhood and given the unlucky name Taoqi.
A Tao lived up to that name, swaggering around the capital, catching cats and teasing dogs. She was the nightmare of every young aristocrat.
So when she left the capital, every household celebrated, with one banquet after another.
Seven years later, word spread that "Taoqi" had returned. The young nobles she'd tormented and beaten joined forces to come looking for revenge.
But what they saw was a breathtaking beauty, graceful and elegant, stepping out to meet them...
Her slender waist swayed, her eyes sparkled, and in an instant she captivated them all.
The alliance seeking revenge on "Taoqi" dissolved in an instant, turning into a band of peach-struck devotees. Every last one of them valued beauty over friendship, and former allies became "enemies."
A Tao was secretly disappointed.
So her childhood friends from back then had all become hypocrites like her, and learned to put on an act.
They clearly wanted revenge, yet at every turn they acted humble and ingratiating. Who did they think they were fooling?
Except for one young lord. His looks and figure had changed a lot, but he was still just as annoying, always opposing her!
She would never admit defeat!
[Hero: The only clear-headed young gentleman in the capital when faced with a heartthrob]
His old nemesis, who used to "bully" him, had returned to the capital. His friends didn't share his outrage or join him in resisting the bully. Instead, every one of them...
Forgot all about loyalty for the sake of beauty!
And that old nemesis, "Taoqi," who used to climb walls and trees, had become sweet, charming, gentle, and elegant, earning widespread praise in the capital.
Young Lord: You little brat! No, you little wench! You're definitely faking it. I'll expose your true colors!
In the end, he didn't expose her true colors. Instead, he himself... wound up underneath her again by accident.
It was just like when she used to beat him up as a child.
Young Lord: What are you trying to do?
Her ever-composed, pale, lotus-like face suddenly turned as red as a ripe peach. Blushing with embarrassment and anger, she snapped: You pervert!!!
