I Hear the Young Marquis Dreamed of Me Again

Sly black-lotus beauty x gentle, love-struck man

Also known as: “I’m So Good at Pretending to Be Devoted”

Song Guangyi was born into the Nanyang Earl's household. Radiant and beautiful, she was one of the most celebrated beauties in Lanjing.

Everyone knew she was engaged to the son of the Grand Preceptor. Childhood sweethearts who had grown up together, they were the envy of many noble young ladies in the capital.

That is, until the polo match by Jinming Lake, when everyone saw her fiancé break off their engagement, then stand in front of her, all lovey-dovey with the woman he truly loved.

Song Guangyi hung her head and stewed for a long while. Just as she was about to curse them out, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear:

“Amu, come to me.”

She looked toward the voice, and a tall, slender man came into view.

Everyone around them fell silent at once. He was the young lord of the Northern Pacification Marquis's household, a name famed throughout Lanjing.

But to Song Guangyi, he was also the lecher who had accosted her in a cave not long ago.

Fu Jiming had trained in martial arts since childhood, learning to be restrained and self-possessed. In all his twenty-odd years, not a single beauty had ever been at his side.

Until one day, he had an indescribable erotic dream.

In the dream, he wore a bright red wedding robe and had a beautiful, naked young woman pinned beneath him. She sobbed and begged him to stop, her eyes red-rimmed.

But after kissing away her tear tracks, he only grew rougher, the wickedness in his eyes plain to see.

When he woke, he came face-to-face with the real woman: the younger sister of his childhood classmate.

Later, while hiding from someone in a cave, he happened to encounter the same young woman, whose soft voice made his heart tremble.

She wore a blue-green silk skirt, her jade-white hand resting on a hard rock as she watched another, unfamiliar couple kiss passionately with keen interest.

Without a word, his Adam's apple bobbed. He pulled her into his arms, his face expressionless.

Several days later, at the polo match,

The delicate young woman was being surrounded and bullied. He strode over without a moment's hesitation, then shielded her behind him, his gaze icy.

“I didn’t know that a fickle libertine could just go around bullying my woman.”

[Bonus Scene]

To make sure Fu Jiming would keep backing her up and give her a chance to get revenge on her former fiancé, Song Guangyi used every trick she knew to play the part of a lovestruck young lady.

At first, she thought she had the young lord wrapped around her little finger. It wasn’t until she learned he was going to marry a princess and spent the whole night awake that she finally understood she, too, had long since fallen into his intoxicating snare.

In the end, she used the wine as an excuse to throw herself into his arms, sobbing, “Why haven’t you come to see me?”
