The Shen Family's Legitimate Daughter Is Playing Innocent Again

★ Coming Soon: The Ex-Husband Tore Up the Divorce Agreement, a groveling romance

[Works by two friends: Night of the Beast // My Imperial Brother Is Obsessive]

When Shen You'an was fourteen, she learned she was the legitimate daughter of a general's family. She thought she would finally leave behind her identity as a farmer's daughter, but... on the very first day back home, she managed to annoy her parents.

At a loss, she lowered her head and clutched her sleeves. From nearby, her older brother said with disdain, “How can someone like you live up to the title of the General's legitimate daughter?”

The Old Madam, seated in the place of honor, also shook her head and sighed. “You have no manners at all. Once you leave this estate, people will laugh at you.”

Shen You'an felt indignant, but the Old Madam was right. A poetry gathering just a few months later made her the talk of the capital.

Under the accusing gazes of her entire family, Shen You'an bit her lip. Though she said nothing, inside she swore: One day, I, Shen You'an, will make everyone look at me in a new light!

.

Xie Changming is peerlessly handsome, and at a young age he has earned his military honors on the battlefield through his own efforts. But no one is perfect, and Xie Changming has one stain on his reputation:

He was once betrothed as a child to Shen You'an.

It was only a joke between their parents, but now the old Emperor wants to revive the matter, citing the fact that “the Shen family's daughter helped protect the Emperor.”

Everyone assumes Xie Changming will refuse the imperial marriage decree, even if it means giving up all his military honors. But to their surprise, the usually carefree and spirited Xie Changming speaks with great seriousness:

“Miss Shen is gentle and well-mannered. It is truly my good fortune to have her.”

That night, the “gentle and well-mannered” Shen You'an draws her flexible sword and points it at Xie Changming, declaring, “In my family, anyone who wants to marry me has to beat me first!”

She also works hard to learn horseback riding and calligraphy, making those around her see her in a new light. Furthermore, when her personal maid is in danger, she doesn't stand aside. The servants who once looked down on her come to sincerely support her. Finally, she earns merit protecting the Emperor and comes to understand her feelings with the hero, completing her growth in both body and mind and turning her life around.

Then disaster struck the Jiang household, and everyone in Gusu waited to see Jiang He make a fool of herself.

Unable to bear it, Jiang He went to demand an explanation from Yun Chi in the middle of the night. But Yun Chi, who had always indulged her, lowered his eyes and chided her, “Get a hold of yourself. Stop making trouble!”

Unable to bear being neglected, Jiang He began causing trouble throughout the estate, but she still couldn't get even a glance from Yun Chi.

Several months later, to her utter surprise, she received a letter from Yun Chi...
