Marriage first, love later | Play the pig to eat the tiger |

A beautiful, flirtatious woman who acts sweet while trading sarcastic barbs every day x a cold-faced, sharp-tongued uncle who sees through her act but never calls her out

In her previous life, Jiang Suisui married into the Marquis’s household because of a marriage agreement.

Only when the wedding was about to take place did she discover that her supposed Mr. Right already had someone else in his heart.

In her new life, she secretly arranged for Pei Cheng’s affair to be exposed.

Unfortunately, she was caught by Pei Cheng’s uncle.

The Pei family’s uncle, Pei Shichuan, was cold-blooded and unruly, renowned far and wide for his ruthless decisiveness. He was the sort of man who couldn’t be swayed by threats or enticements.

He came to demand an explanation. Tears gathered on Jiang Suisui’s lashes, and she spoke in a faint voice. “Please don’t make things difficult for me, Uncle. I’m just a frail young woman. I really don’t understand what you mean.”

She still looked a little unwell, delicate as a willow in the breeze, so slender she seemed as though she might snap in half.

Pei Shichuan paused.

Seeing her sway helplessly, he instinctively caught her by the wrist.

Later, the Pei family sought another marriage for her in order to save face.

Pei Cheng already regretted what he’d done. He took the opportunity to ask the Old Madam to persuade her to become his concubine, only to find his usually arrogant uncle kneeling solemnly in the Hall of Harmony.

“The marriage agreement between the Jiang and Pei families still stands. I’m willing to marry Jiang Suisui as my wife.”

*

After they married, Jiang Suisui assumed he had acted on a whim and that the match suited them both. She kept up the appearance of a respectful marriage and never expected anything more from him.

Until one day, Pei Cheng came to see her from outside the door, saying he wanted to apologize for what had happened in the past.

Jiang Suisui was about to answer when someone suddenly pinned her down against the rosewood table.

Pei Shichuan grasped her waist while leisurely undoing her sash with his other hand.

His gaze was dark, his eyes pressing down on her.

“Answer him. If you can’t, Uncle will do it for you.”

Pei Shichuan had spent half his life on the battlefield, with blood on his blade. He had always prided himself on being clear-minded. The only time he ever lost control began when he heard that woman sweetly call him “Uncle.”

Next novel, Forced to Detox with My Archrival, also known as Sinking

Jiang Qimian had two great grievances in life.

First, Xie Shi’an, the son of the Grand Commandant, had been at odds with her since they were children.

Second, she once accidentally got poisoned by an unknown toxin along with Xie Shi’an.

The poison was so potent that when it flared up, it felt as though a hundred ants were gnawing at their hearts.

At first, neither of them believed it was serious, and they traded insults before leaving.

Half a month later, they both set out in tacit agreement to find an antidote.

Heaven rewards the diligent. An old Daoist in the mountains gave them a book in a brocade pouch, saying that reading it would cure the poison. The pouch contained three volumes: The Face Like a Peach, The Body Like Sunset Clouds, and Water Soaking the Clothes.

Jiang Qimian didn’t understand.

Xie Shi’an frowned, the tips of his ears turning red.

The first two made sense as ways to cure the poison.

But what did Water Soaking the Clothes mean?

Where was the water supposed to come from?

Xie Shi’an and Fourth Miss Jiang had been famously at odds since they were young. They couldn’t meet for more than a moment without getting into a fight.

Knowing she liked refined gentlemen and despised his rakish ways, he decided to live up to her expectations and embrace his reputation.

She complained that he was always riding between brothels. The next day, he led his horse Zhaoyebai around the Jiang residence three times.

She said she would rather marry a poor scholar than a spoiled young master from the capital. He replied solemnly, “What have the poor scholars of the capital done to deserve that?”

The entire capital was convinced the two would never speak to each other again.

But no one knew that at night, they had to kiss and cling to each other to fall asleep.

And no one knew that Jiang Qimian was the woman Xie Shi’an had dreamed of when he first learned about desire.

He had actually been nursing forbidden feelings for Jiang Qimian for ten years.

Ever since he got poisoned, he’d been so happy he could die.
