1: Miss Zhao Ruo of the Duke's residence has a sleeping sickness. She can fall asleep while eating or walking. Raised like a precious treasure in the inner chambers from childhood, her closest friend is the young man with whom she exchanges love letters.
She arranged to meet him.
At the banquet, guests came and went beneath the glittering lights. Zhao Ruo couldn't find the young man, and her sleeping sickness suddenly struck. In a daze, she collapsed onto a nobleman's bed and spent a wild half-night with him.
It was too dark for her to see the man's face, but she knew she had been the one to seduce him. Even if she had lost her virtue, she'd just have to accept it.
Before leaving, she left the nobleman a personal "token."
She figured that if he cared, he'd come looking for her. If he didn't... Forget it, she wouldn't think about it. Either way, she couldn't contact the young man again.
2:
The Regent was born with the ability to read minds and had a violent temper.
He often couldn't sleep at night. Only the scent of ink on his darling's love letters could help him drift off.
That day, the two of them had arranged to meet.
But his old ailment flared up, and a female licentious thief unexpectedly stole his yang essence. When he woke the next day, he couldn't find her. The only thing he found by his pillow was-
...three taels of silver!
The insult was unbearable. The Regent's handsome face, reflected in his cold sword, darkened. Just then, an attendant handed him a letter: a farewell letter from his darling.
Heh.
The Regent sneered, thinking that the fine spring weather was perfect for swinging a sword and indulging in a bout of frenzied slaughter.
3:
One strange incident after another took place in the capital.
First, Miss Zhao Ruo was cruelly abandoned by her scumbag of an ex and had to find a reliable father for the child in her belly.
Then the Regent locked down the entire city to search for someone: first, his beloved darling, and second, the brazen female licentious thief.
One day, at Youzhou Terrace, the Regent happened upon Zhao Ruo on a blind date behind a curtain. After the usual questioning, he turned to leave, only to hear Zhao Ruo's thoughts:
"Waaah, your father is so vicious and cruel! If he won't acknowledge you, fine, but at least give me back my three taels of silver. The late emperor bestowed them upon..."
The Regent stopped in his tracks. "A female licentious thief?!"
Their eyes met. Zhao Ruo happened to spot the exquisite sachet hanging from the Regent's waist. She had embroidered it herself years ago.
"Y-Young man?!"
