Betraying My Master's Trust

Xia Shuangxue is peerless with a sword, yet she keeps to three thatched huts on a mountain and knows nothing of the ways of the world. She is going to the capital this time to visit her eldest disciple, Song Guanqiong, heir to the Duke of Dingguo. But she is ambushed by villains and spends one night of passion with her disciple. When they wake, their eyes meet. Silence fills the room. For the first time, the hand that usually grips Xia Shuangxue's sword trembles. Her bitten lip stings as she presses it together. Her usually composed eldest disciple pointedly looks away from her lips and apologizes. "This disciple could not withstand the effects of the drug and has dishonored you, Master. Please punish me!" Enduring the discomfort throughout her body, she manages to summon the composure of an elder. "This has nothing to do with you. We will act as if it never happened. We are still master and disciple." But where she cannot see, the hopeful light in Song Guanqiong's phoenix eyes is snuffed out, leaving nothing but ashes. Later, Xia Shuangxue races a thousand miles to save the man she loves and nearly dies at the border. Song Guanqiong carries her back from a heap of corpses. But when Xia Shuangxue wakes and looks at her disciple, confusion appears in her eyes. "Who are you?" At that moment, Song Guanqiong's heart pounds wildly. He is afraid he can no longer be a good disciple to his master. After recovering from her injuries, Xia Shuangxue has forgotten many things. She seems to remember having been a master, with an eldest disciple who respects his teacher, speaks little, and is steady. But the man before her, who looks so much like her eldest disciple, keeps telling her over and over that he is her husband. A ridiculously powerful but naive heroine who is easily fooled x a seemingly upright and good-natured male lead who is actually a scheming black lotus This is not a jianghu wuxia novel. Most of the story takes place among the prominent families of the capital. P.S. 1v1, both leads are sexually inexperienced. The male lead did not drug her, but when he saw that someone had drugged his master, he took a whole bottle of the drug himself. The synopsis scene happens in Chapter 9. Coming soon: *Why Hasn't He Divorced His Wife Yet?* After marrying Xie You, the pride of the Xie family, Cui Wu naturally wants to build a good life together. Besides, they are a well-matched couple, and their relationship is gradually improving. But unfortunately, the man she used to be involved with before marriage comes knocking. The Xie family is strict and proper, and Cui Wu has a hard time keeping this secret under wraps. Her old flame is ridiculous, too. Who says liking someone means you have to spend your life with him? Who says you can't change your mind about someone you used to like? She goes to all that trouble to keep it from Xie You, but he finds out anyway... - Xie You has always known his wife can be a little spoiled and willful. But he prefers her that way to a wife who deliberately follows every rule. In private, he is happy to indulge her. That is, until her old flame comes knocking. Ha. His wife had an old flame before they married. That man tells him, word for word, all about the times they shared, while his wife stands behind him, avoiding Xie You's gaze. Xie You is furious, but when he sees the tears in his wife's eyes, he just can't bring himself to write the divorce papers. "Who is the one in your heart?" "Of course it's you, my husband. You're the only one in my heart!" In the end, he deals with her old flame and helps his wife cover everything up. "I can let the past go, but if you dare to harbor even the slightest other thought from now on..." Xie You strokes his wife's delicate, pale face, leaving a deep bite mark. Cui Wu really does intend for the two of them to live happily together. "I wouldn't dare, hu-husband. I... have one more thing to tell you..." "Hmm?" "Could you deal with my older brother too?" "? ..." "!" Theme: Everyone is equal, regardless of status.
