A beautiful, flirtatious widow VS a dashing, charming young nobleman. Older woman, younger man.
Cui Hong is renowned throughout the land for his beauty. He's skilled enough to place among the top three in the imperial exams and can bend a bow to shoot a giant eagle, making him one of the most celebrated men in the capital.
But he's a truly awful man.
After a woman deceives him, he vows to turn over a new leaf and be a better person. From then on, he deceives one woman after another.
That is, until he meets Nan Qing, the exception.
After meeting just twice, Nan Qing sees right through him. "Young Master Cui, you clearly aren't a ladies' man, so why do you act like one?"
Cui Hong pauses, then quickly opens his folding fan and laughs roguishly. "Madam Nan, how can you say that? Everyone in Jinling knows the name Cui Hong..."
But then he feels a chill at his wrist. She withdraws her fingers and says coldly, "Yet judging by your pulse, Young Master Cui, you're still a virgin."
In an instant, Cui Hong's face turns livid. If word gets out that he's been hanging around women all day and is still a virgin, what will people think? They'll say he can't perform.
This is intolerable!
At first, Cui Hong plans to kill her to keep her quiet. But he really isn't the sort to kill innocent people. After turning it over in his mind, he decides that taking her as a concubine and keeping her confined to his household wouldn't be a bad idea.
She's lowborn, only the orphaned daughter of a minor official. She should be thrilled to marry into a prestigious family like his.
But when he tells her, she merely yawns. "I see. But I'm not interested in virgins."
Cui Hong is exasperated, and his desire to conquer her takes hold. He's determined to win over this woman who doesn't know what's good for her.
He never expects that in the end, he'll be the one who falls in love.
After every passionate night together, Nan Qing remains as calm as still water. He's the one who, time and again, ends up kneeling before her with his clothes disheveled, his eyes reddened, and his voice hoarse as he begs, "Sister, please be gentler with me."
"Sister, kiss me."
"Sister, can you give me a proper title?"
