Your Boyfriend Won't Get Mad, Will He?

Before meeting Lin Xuefu, Su Chentan had already heard all about her misdeeds from the senior brother she'd imprisoned: spoiled and domineering, debauched, a lawbreaker, and cold-hearted...

To uncover her secrets, Su Chentan takes his senior brother's place and tests medicine for her, doing everything he can to win her trust.

She loves desserts, so he pays an exorbitant price to buy a recipe for cream ice from foreign merchants and makes it for her.

She wants to read a rare, out-of-print storybook, so he sends all his subordinates to search old bookstores throughout the land.

Even when someone makes a pointed remark to Lin Xuefu, saying, "He doesn't even know you like this? Not like me. I remember everything about you," he still refrains from laying a hand on them in front of her.

He endures the humiliation for a year, then two, then many more...

His senior brother watches in astonishment as Su Chentan builds a swing for Lin Xuefu. "Junior brother, you still haven't exposed her schemes and her true nature?"

Su Chentan looks at him with a faint smile. "Why don't you explain the house you gave her two days ago?"

They say Sangzhou is a prosperous city dotted with gold and jewelry shops and bakeries selling sweet treats, but also a lawless place rife with gangs, thieves, and vagrants.

Lin Xuefu moves to Sangzhou to investigate the cause of her master's death.

A month later, the suspects in her sights include:

A. The son of the richest man in the city: "The kitchen made too many green plum cakes and chestnut-flour pastries. Here, have some."

B. The successor to the martial arts alliance leader: "This move is called 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew.' Want me to teach you?"

C. The famous courtesan of the capital: "You come here so often. Won't he get angry if he finds out?"
