The Fake Heiress's Little Tavern

The breeze carries willow fluff and the fragrance of wine through the tavern. A Wu maiden tends the wine and invites customers to taste it.

The timid fake heiress of the Qin family, a household of ministers, is thrown out. Not long afterward, a new little tavern opens in Jinling City.

The tavern's proprietress is ravishingly charming. Her beautiful eyes, especially, sparkle with every glance, and she always looks at people with a hint of affection. The young men of Jinling City flock to her, each hoping to drink another cup of the heavenly brew Qin Zhen makes with her own hands.

Only Pei Shuheng watches coldly as his colleagues one by one fall under the spell of Qin Zhen's wine, sneering in disdain: "Vulgar and shallow."

Qin Zhen teases him on purpose: "The Deputy Prefect of Jingzhao really is an iceberg. Not even the strongest liquor can melt you."

His colleagues all comfort the beauty: "Don't mind him. He's always been hopelessly tactless."

Then, one night, by the flickering candlelight, someone sees the cool, self-possessed Deputy Prefect of Jingzhao pinning the alluring tavern proprietress between the liquor shelves. He tilts his head with a drunken smile, his gaze burning.

"I've plucked the most dazzling rose in Jinling City."

The aloof flower on the high peak, Deputy Prefect of Jingzhao x the alluring, bewitching tavern proprietress
