Folding You into Peach Blossoms

I first met Zhang Jingchen at a spring banquet.

The young gentleman in white was graceful as a crane, pure as snow, and elegant in bearing. His rendition of the Guangling Melody stole the hearts of countless young women.

Feng Ying, however, was unimpressed. She merely sneered to someone that he was "not all he was made out to be, dull and uninteresting," nearly offending half the noblewomen in Luoyang.

But who could have guessed that an accident would bring these two seemingly mismatched people together?

The Feng family came from humble origins, and Feng Ying was spoiled, crude, and ill-mannered, with little to offer but her beauty. The Zhang family, on the other hand, was an aristocratic clan, and Zhang Jingchen was a peerless treasure, a young talent destined for greatness.

Everyone wondered how the two would ever get along after marriage.

It probably wouldn't be long before Feng Ying became a pitiful divorcee whom everyone despised.

At first, Feng Ying thought so too.

Her family was on the verge of ruin, and with nowhere else to turn, she took a desperate gamble. She used the man who had always hated her and couldn't abide the slightest flaw, climbed into his bed, claimed the place of his wife, and even became pregnant with his child...

To avoid being punished later, Feng Ying gave birth, then escaped with her childhood sweetheart by boat, heading south before the truth could come out and the man could take his revenge.

But before they reached the ferry, the familiar scent of agarwood suddenly filled her nostrils. Her childhood sweetheart lay bound hand and foot on the boat, unconscious and in a sorry state.

The man's expression grew colder. His tall figure forced her back to the riverbank until he seized her wrist and left her nowhere to run.

"You abandoned your husband and child for this useless good-for-nothing?"

"If you chose to use me, then keep using me to the very end!"

1. One-on-one, both leads have only been with each other, happy ending.

2. Spoiled, rebellious, airheaded beauty vs. aloof, stern, obsessive, untouchable gentleman. Neither lead is perfect.

3. The untouchable gentleman falls from his pedestal, possessive love.

4. Eight-year age gap, fictional Han dynasty setting.
