Blurb

Ji Kuangrou is a noble princess with a haughty, rakish nature. If she takes a fancy to something, she has to make it hers.

At thirteen, she set her sights on a fine horse presented to the eldest princess. It was intelligent and could travel a hundred li in a day. Ji Kuangrou used a few tricks, and in the end, the eldest princess willingly handed the horse over.

At fifteen, she coveted Jiangzhou, a land of fish and rice with springlike weather all year round, and took it from the emperor's most beloved young princess.

At eighteen, she wanted the most talented scholar in the Jing Kingdom, Xiang Boyue, renowned for his extraordinary looks and his bright, unblemished character. Countless women were drawn to him, and he was also her sworn enemy's fiance.

Her methods weren't exactly honorable, but in the end, she married him and brought him home.

At first, he mocked her. "So what if you got my person? What I despise most is someone like you!"

One night, she returned late and happened to pass his room. She saw him curled up on the bed, holding the undergarment of hers that had been missing for ages. He murmured to himself, calling her by her childhood name again and again: "A Rou."

In the end, Ji Kuangrou sat poised in a sandalwood chair and watched Xiang Boyue cast aside his pride. Dressed in the theatrical performer’s costume he had once despised most, he crawled inch by inch to her feet, his beautiful eyes full of humble longing.

He clung to her leg. "Please, my wife, show me mercy."

At first, Xiang Boyue thought Ji Kuangrou liked him. Why else would she go to such lengths to marry him?

After taking him home as her husband, she treated him with every luxury and respect, never once crossing the boundaries he had set.

Little by little, her tenderness melted his heart. He resolved to bear her a daughter and raise children for her.

But when she learned how he felt, she simply laughed under her breath.

In the end, she casually handed him a divorce letter.

Note: One female lead, two male leads. Happy ending.
