Scheming, predatory heroine x ruthless, fake aloof beauty
Pei Jie was born into the prestigious Hedong Pei clan. Noble in status and exceptionally talented, he was praised by everyone who met him: "His features are like jade, his bearing like emerald pines. No other young man is as striking as he is."
Yet this astonishingly gifted young man had a crude concubine: Yang Shisanniang.
Born to a collateral branch of a noble family, with a mother from a household of singers, this lowborn woman set a vicious trap for Pei Jie at a banquet and forced him to marry her!
Kindhearted Pei Jie couldn't bear to see her executed by her clan, so he took her in as a concubine out of pity.
Who could have guessed that Lady Yang wouldn't mend her ways? Taking advantage of her status as a member of Pei Jie's household, she ran wild, beating and berating the maids and servants at will. She even humiliated the Xie family's daughter, who had been about to become Pei Jie's betrothed, enraging the Xie family and driving them to storm out! How could such a vicious woman be worthy of Pei Jie?
Yang Shisanniang thought she was the one who'd been wronged. She'd meant to set up Lu Jiulang, so how had it ended up being Pei Jie?
She'd planned to make the best of things, but who knew that Pei Jie, the jade-like gentleman admired by the capital's noble ladies, would be ruthless behind closed doors?
He suspected a maid of being a spy, so he used Yang's hands to beat her and drive her out. He disliked the Xie family's daughter, too, and threatened Yang into helping him break off the engagement!
She did all the dirty work while he played the good guy! She couldn't take another day of this!
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only, one-on-one romance
2. An unconventional sweet heroine
3. A mountain of fictional details; don't take it too seriously
4. Slow-paced, with the male lead appearing properly later on
Theme: Facing hardship together and never giving up the fight

After being out of action for so long, when will the author resume updating? .
It's a bit high-pitched and low-key. It started to get boring after the male protagonist suddenly fell in love with the female protagonist. The male protagonist was obviously made to be cold-hearted and perverted, but he fell in love with the female protagonist too quickly. It's normal to be tempted, but it's boring to fall in love all of a sudden. It's like going through a process. The other female characters are also a bit flat, like tool people. The military advisor was exposed too quickly
