The strategist and careerist x the spoiled little white flower
His father was demoted and exiled to Lingnan. Before leaving, he entrusted Lin Ruozhao to his favorite protégé, Pei Xingzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty.
Lin Ruozhao had nowhere to go and could only accept the arrangement.
Pei Xingzhi came to pick her up in person that day.
Across the curtain of spring rain, Lin Ruozhao called softly: "Master Pei."
He nodded slightly, coldly and distantly.
After that, she lived in Pei Mansion.
Pei Xingzhi treated her as before, and taught her poetry, calligraphy, policy, and human affairs in his spare time.
Lin Ruozhao behaved himself and did not dare to cross the line.

Later at the Lantern Festival, Lin Ruozhao accidentally guessed the lantern riddles created by the young Marquis, and he was able to tell people about it by chance.
Soon, the Hou Mansion sent someone to discuss the marriage.
She couldn't live in other people's houses for the rest of her life. Marrying the young marquis was her best choice at the moment.
At night, Lin Ruozhao went to the study to discuss with Pei Xingzhi. She stood outside the door for a long time and finally opened the door.
Halfway through, he noticed something different in his expression and suddenly stopped speaking.
"We hit it off as old friends, and we had a great conversation?" Pei Xingzhi repeated in a low voice, put down the broken pen in his hand, and walked towards her with a stern face, "Have you forgotten that I taught you that?"
"First, sir?"
Lin Ruozhao retreated subconsciously, and he pressed forward step by step.
"You also know that I am sir, Zhao Zhao, who asked you to use what I taught you to please other men?"
