[Arranged Marriage] [Love After Marriage] [Mutual Identity Reveals] [Secrets Kept on Both Sides]
[Bold, Sharp-Witted Heiress Who Pretends to Be Sweet * Strategist From a Poor Family Who Pretends to Be Frail]
Rumor has it that Miss Xie, Xie Yunxian, is dignified and virtuous, gentle and courteous to others, well versed in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and never does anything improper.
Yet on the day she is forced into a marriage alliance with the Cui family, Xie Yunxian immediately plots to run away from the wedding and leaves home.
Halfway through her escape, she discovers a corpse beneath a wall, apparently connected to the Xie and Cui families.
Carrying a secret she has kept for years, Xie Yunxian gives up fleeing, marries into the Cui family, and weds Cui Lingjing.
Xie Yunxian has heard that her husband, Fourth Young Master Cui, is a sickly man who wants no part in worldly affairs and is treated unfairly by his family.
Before the wedding, she is apprehensive, afraid she will become a widow as soon as she marries him.
To her surprise, her husband is handsome, refined, gentle, and considerate.
After the wedding, they treat each other with courtesy and keep out of one another's affairs, appearing to be a loving couple.
One dark and windy night, after bidding Cui Lingjing goodnight, Xie Yunxian pretends to return to her room, then sneaks out to investigate a case.
Following the clues, she stumbles upon a conspiracy and is hunted down. Just as she nearly loses her life, she falls into the hands of another group of black-clad men.
Their leader is a formidable martial artist, quick with his blade, yet Xie Yunxian finds him strangely familiar.
She takes one of his men hostage to force him to let her go.
As an arrow flies toward Xie Yunxian, the man darts forward and shields her in his arms.
She seizes the chance to pull off his mask, revealing Cui Lingjing's face.
At the same time, the veil on her own face slips away.
In an instant, both of them look utterly astonished.
Cui Lingjing asks quietly, "Didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Xie Yunxian raises an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you were too weak to even chop vegetables with a knife?"
-
At first, she walked right into his scheme, and everything went according to his plan.
But later, he confessed with a smile, "Xie Yunxian, you are the only thing I never accounted for."
