Sweet-Talking You

[Synopsis] Silly, sweet, delicate beauty x aloof, noble heir Yanyan was breathtakingly beautiful and guileless by nature. She needed someone to take good care of her. Some people thought the best future she could hope for was becoming someone's concubine. With her looks, it wouldn't matter if she was a little dim. One day, she was kidnapped. Yanyan behaved herself and waited for her family to send someone to rescue her. Then the kidnappers suddenly tossed in a man, claiming he was her dear older brother. Yanyan took her last clean silk handkerchief and wiped the blood from his face, frowning as she tried to think. Which of her brothers was he? Xie LancI awoke from his serious injuries to find the little girl caring for him with a worried expression. She said she was going to be sold to a wealthy landowner to become his wife. The landowner was old and childless, and Xie LancI was the man who would have to share the bridal chamber with the young wife. Xie LancI closed his eyes. His head hurt even more. Xie LancI was the undisputed pride of heaven, a high-ranking minister whom no one dared approach. A guest at a banquet got drunk and wandered into the woods by mistake, only to hear the immortal-like Young Master Xie holding a delicate beauty in his arms and teaching her again and again, until she was in tears and finally said, "I love my husband." - When people learned that the silly Yanyan had saved the heir during his moment of misfortune, they were green with envy. Later, someone deliberately made trouble, suspecting Yanyan of colluding with the kidnappers, and took her in for questioning. When Xie LancI heard she had been taken away, he feared people would make things difficult for her and mistreat her. But before he even entered, he heard her nervously explaining: "I didn't do it on purpose, or deliberately approach him. I haven't even touched one of his fingers." When Yanyan realized he had arrived, her eyes lit up. They plainly said, "Hurry and explain it to them." Xie LancI rescued her. Yanyan thanked him softly, overjoyed and eager to leave. But then Young Master Xie, handsome as a precious jade and bright as the moon, held out his hand to her. Tears welled in Yanyan's eyes. She looked aggrieved, but couldn't bring herself to abandon him after he had helped her. She reached out, quickly brushed his hand, then pulled hers away. How stingy of him! - Yanyan knew it was better to be a fool than an idiot. Still, being crazy was more fun. Never mind... She was already an idiot, so she might as well be happy about it. ∠※ But she thought Xie LancI was the crazy one. Why else would he keep pestering her?

When Lu Qingzhou held an umbrella over her, his expression was gentle, and he discreetly tilted it toward her. He really was considerate. Until one rainy night, she stumbled upon him murdering someone and hiding the body. Only then did she learn what sort of man she had taken in. He hadn't needed her pity at all. All his unease and hurt had been an act. ...He must have hidden at her place because she was the only master of the marquis's residence, and no one else would discover his secret. From then on, whenever he did anything unusual, she pretended not to notice. Sometimes she even covered for him in front of others. For some reason, his moods grew more and more unpredictable. She no longer dared treat him as she had before. When he safely returned to the palace to become the crown prince, she finally relaxed and went straight to discuss wedding plans with her betrothed.

He pinched her chin to stop her from bringing up such trivial matters. His gaze was dark and full of longing. He kissed the corner of her lips. "Why are you afraid of me? Haven't you already learned all sorts of ways to deceive and fool me?" Tears glistened on her lashes. Hearing that, she bit her red lip, forgetting even to cry. Blood still stained his sleeves, but the hands that touched her were clean. Did she even have a choice? Core Theme: Every day deserves to be lived happily
