Falsely gentle and refined x falsely obedient and docile

I.

Both of Song Yan's fiances were Crown Princes. There was probably no young woman in the capital with better prospects than hers.

After they married, everything made her happy, except that at some point, another man began appearing in her dreams.

In the dreams, she was little more than a plaything. More chilling still, the man called her "Imperial Sister-in-Law."

Song Yan was shocked and afraid, and felt deeply guilty toward her husband.

Until she noticed that her elegant, gentle husband was growing more and more like the man in her dreams...

The gentle, considerate husband was him.

The man who called her Imperial Sister-in-Law in her dreams was him.

The one who had kept her captive like a caged golden bird in her previous life was also him...

II.

Zhao Yuanjing kept having the same dream. In it, his Imperial Sister-in-Law was kept like a golden songbird in the Eastern Palace.

By then, he had already reclaimed his identity. His sister-in-law's beautiful eyes were misty with despair as she asked, "Why won't you let me go, Your Highness?"

He curled his lips and lowered his head, biting her shoulder as if to punish her. The faint scent of blood spread through the air. "You were meant to be my Crown Princess all along, Imperial Sister-in-Law."

The dream was both seductive and real. The next day, when Song Yan entered the palace, his new fiancee was as graceful and radiant as ever, with impeccable poise.

Zhao Yuanjing's expression did not change, but beneath his gaze, passionate feelings churned.

The road was slippery in the rain, and Song Yan suddenly lost her balance.

Just as she was about to make a fool of herself, a strong arm hooked around her waist and lifted her up. Zhao Yuanjing hid his feelings and withdrew his hand, his lips curving slightly as he said in his gentle, refined manner, "County Princess, be careful."

Synopsis:

Qing Wu was alluringly beautiful, with a graceful figure. A slight lift of her brow seemed enough to bewitch any man.

In short, she hardly looked like a respectable young lady.

The Ye family took her in and gave her the title of Third Young Lady, only waiting for her to come of age so they could "sell" her as a concubine to some wealthy nobleman and secure a bright future for themselves.

Unfortunately, Qing Wu had never intended to become anyone's concubine.

But after a concubine-born son of the household tricked her into taking an aphrodisiac, she stumbled out of the room and shakily knocked on another door.

Afterward, she pressed her slender fingers against the man's chest and said in a coquettish voice, "It was just an accident. Don't ruin my plans."

*

To find a way out, Qing Wu carefully chose Xiao Heng, the only son of the Xiao family, who had neither parents and whose family background was respectable enough.

Whenever Xiao Heng saw her, he blushed and trembled, acting even more bashful than a woman.

Qing Wu curled her red lips, thinking, This is a sure thing.

But fate had other plans. How had Xiao Heng, who had neither parents, suddenly acquired an uncle?

Could someone tell her why this uncle looked exactly like the guard she'd picked up?

Now the man looked down at her from above, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "Third Young Lady, were you playing with me?"

Qing Wu immediately shut her eyes. She'd told him, that night was just an accident...
