Did the Beauty Lose Her Disguise Today?

Obsessive Heir Apparent Who Has Been Plotting for Ages x Resilient Beauty Who Flirts Without Realizing It

The Duke of Rong's mansion is a place of great wealth and splendor. The heir, Pei Qianheng, is peerlessly handsome and exceptionally refined, admired by countless noblewomen in the capital.

But in private, his moods are unpredictable, and the chill around him keeps everyone at a distance.

Though Shen Xiangxue bears the name of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter, she is not related to them by blood.

After being framed, she inadvertently ended up in the duke's mansion and had no choice but to hide there for the time being, treading carefully.

People warned her that if she wanted to live, she must never get involved with the heir.

Not long after she arrived, torrential rain fell for days. She stood alone beneath the eaves on a long street, taking shelter.

Her vision blurred, and rain soaked the front of her clothes.

Shen Xiangxue suddenly looked up, only to see Pei Qianheng walking toward her.

He stood beneath an umbrella, a trace of coldness in his eyes as he glanced down at her.

Then he turned sideways, lifted the umbrella he had been holding, and slowly angled it toward her.

"...Here."

Everyone in the mansion knew that the heir looked at that maid differently from everyone else. That was why he had chosen her to serve at his side.

Only Shen Xiangxue understood all too well that the day her identity was exposed would come. To the household, she was nothing but trouble.

At last, she managed to escape, and with it, she was free of all the secrets she had been carrying.

But bandits were rampant in the outskirts of the capital. Their leader was taken with her beauty and brought her up into the mountains.

Taking advantage of the others' distraction, she prepared to flee.

Then Pei Qianheng appeared without a sound, blocking a blade for her with his bare hands. Blood stained his clothes.

After a long moment, he lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. His gaze was intimidating as he smiled faintly and said:

"Jiaojiao, how much longer did you think you could keep this from me?"

"What should I call you now, Third Miss Jiang? Or sister-in-law?"

*

Only he knew how, on countless nights, memories of every smile and frown of hers cut to the bone and kept him tossing and turning.

If he could not win her over, then he would have to take her by force.

No matter who she was, she would never escape him again in this lifetime.

Resilient, unyielding fallen beauty x obsessive heir who takes what he wants

A story about a couple who both wear secret identities, falling in love while guessing and doubting each other.

One-on-one romance, only one partner, happy ending

The male lead has been plotting for ages, strictly observes propriety, and is hopelessly lovesick

Here's a sweet pre-release story about falling in love after marriage, Pillowside Bliss

The more saves it gets, the sooner it will launch~

(-^〇^-)

The daughter of the Qu family and the legitimate son of the Lu family were betrothed in childhood.

Years later, Miss Qu returned to the capital from her hometown of Biancheng, and the Lu elders began preparing a marriage for Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was gentle, refined, and scrupulous about propriety. In everyday life, however, he was just a little old-fashioned.

He wanted to see what his betrothed looked like, but felt too embarrassed to visit her himself.

So he sent a friend to take a look for him.

"I saw her. She's... nothing special. In the dark, with the lights out, she'd just about do!"

Those words haunted him for three whole months.

Later, on their wedding night, the woman beneath the bridal veil spoke in a melodious voice. "Husband, it's time to lift my veil."

After much hesitation, Lu Heng coughed twice. "I've caught a chill. I'm afraid I can't consummate the marriage with you, so I'll have to stay in the guest room tonight."

His wife was understanding. "That's all right. You should get some rest, husband."

*

The next day, Lu Heng gave his friend a thorough "greeting."

The friend was extremely aggrieved. Rubbing his face, he said, "Brother Lu, you're quite the force to be reckoned with. We only just got married, and already you're so unconcerned about whether I live or die."

The man who'd been deceived: ...

If he hadn't later seen with his own eyes that his new wife was nothing like the friend had described, he wouldn't have been so angry.

By day, they were the perfect couple everyone envied, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

At night, he wasn't even allowed into their room.

Thankfully, his virtuous wife was considerate. B-but she really didn't need to be quite so understanding.

The couple went to visit his cousin's family. When Qu Linlang saw their newborn baby, she couldn't bring herself to put the child down for half the day.

Lu Heng was delighted. "Do you want us to have a child of our own, too?"

Qu Linlang nodded. "We could choose a child from the imperial clan someday."

Did she think he was impotent? That he really couldn't have children?

Lu Heng regretted everything and began clinging to Qu Linlang even more desperately.

Then one day, Qu Linlang got drunk. His wife, usually so reserved and virtuous, spoke softly to him at his side.

"Do you like me?" Lu Heng couldn't help asking.

Qu Linlang, tipsy, said, "You! You're no good..."

Lu Heng grew even more anxious. "Then... can I change?"

Qu Linlang looped her arms around his shoulders, her eyes hazy as she spoke each word distinctly. "Anyway, the person I like isn't you. I don't care..."

P.S. The female lead once had a white moonlight.
