I Played Fast and Loose with the Fourth Master (Qing Dynasty Transmigration)

Tang Xinrui's grandmother, the only family she had, died in the mountains. They said she had accidentally been knocked off a cliff by a carriage carrying a congratulatory gift from Fourth Master's side consort, Nian.

A few months later, Fourth Prince asked the Emperor for a palace maid.

On the day he returned to his residence, Fourth Prince carried Tang Xinrui down from the carriage. She buried her face against his chest, too embarrassed to face anyone, revealing only her jade-white neck, dotted with red marks, leaving people to imagine the rest.

The women in the rear courtyard of Fourth Prince's residence ground their teeth in fury. Where had this vixen come from, to make the cold, heartless Fourth Master do that in the carriage...

But no matter how much they hated her, once Tang Xinrui entered the residence, Fourth Master treated her like a treasure in his palm. He was even willing to sacrifice his right-hand man, Nian Gengyao, just to divorce Consort Nian.

Fourth Prince had always believed Tang Xinrui was delicate and helpless, unable to live without him.

Until, after cutting off his own right arm and divorcing Consort Nian, Tang Xinrui drugged him with a sleeping potion.

As his consciousness blurred, Fourth Prince saw her swiftly pack her belongings and prepare to climb out the window.

With the last of his strength, he lunged to the window and grabbed her wrist, his eyes bloodshot. "Was there ever a single moment when you truly cared for me?"

Tang Xinrui said nothing. Her red lips pressed against his cold, thin ones. She broke free of his grasp and climbed out the window, vanishing like a bird into the forest.
