[Male rivalry / universally adored heroine / devotion-to-the-point-of-death romance]

A courtesan whose beauty outshines all others has appeared in the capital.

Her features are delicate, her expression alluring, and every frown and smile captures the hearts of countless men. She's the very embodiment of feminine beauty.

The young master who raised her from childhood is mercurial, yet treats her better than anyone. His wolfish eyes fix on her beauty, wanting to claim her for himself.

"I've treated you this way. Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Yexue plays along, pretending to be distant while remaining humble and obedient. "I belong to you, Young Master. You gave me my life, so you can do with me as you please at any time."

Her limpid autumn eyes brim with obedience. A few words are all it takes for her to firmly ensnare the young master's heart.

The bodyguard who has been by her side for years is taciturn and never listens to anyone else, yet he is utterly devoted to her and obeys her alone.

"You look beautiful in that wedding dress. It's just a shame you're marrying..."

Shen Yexue sighs and rubs her forehead. Gazing at the tipsy youth, she taps him on the head. "Are you still thinking about that act we put on?"

The young master of a general's household, whom she met by chance, is a notorious flirt who has been with countless women. But one song on the qin leaves him obsessed with her.

"Does that mean you might consider me, Miss?"

Shen Yexue smiles faintly, a deeper meaning in her words. "When Young Master He has earned fame and fortune and become a general worthy of shouldering great responsibility for the nation, then I may give it some thought."

There's also a blind man gone mad, whose connection to her she can no longer remember.

She only vaguely recalls that at first, she approached him for a mission...

"So many men yearn to taste your beauty, but in the end they can only gaze at you from afar, unable to get what they want..." He makes his lust sound perfectly reasonable.

"Since no one else can have you, then fate must have reserved you for me."

"Very well... Then don't move, Young Master Li." Shen Yexue smiles sweetly and lightly touches the man's lips with her delicate fingers.

"To be honest, I've never been intimate with a man before, so I'll have to figure this out as I go..."

After that, she completely forgot how their playacting became real.

Reader advisory:

1. A stunning, scheming courtesan from the Huayue Pavilion x a blind, mad retainer of the Chancellor's household. Both are strong and devoted only to each other. Happy ending. One woman and four men, with plenty of love and hate and a dramatic rivalry.

2. The obsessive male lead would give his life for her. He's mad, but treats his wife exceptionally well, and has a hidden identity. His eyesight will be cured later on.

3. Although the heroine is a courtesan, she sells her art, not her body. At first, she's scheming and cold-hearted. Later, she dares to love and hate, and is both beautiful and bold.

4. The "four men" refers to the romantic rivalry. The actual pairing is one-on-one, with both leads' first time.

Theme: As long as life goes on, so does the struggle
