When the Sweet-and-Black Villain Meets a Lovesick Fool

Original title: Wan Yин

[Unwittingly sweet on the outside, cunning within heroine x gentle, lovestruck hero]

Lin Wanyin had known since childhood that her mother favored her elder brother, even though she was her own daughter.

So when the Su family, whom her father had always hoped to curry favor with, unexpectedly sent an invitation to their home, her mother summoned her to her room and made it clear that she wanted her to win Young Master Su's favor.

For a moment of warmth from her mother, Lin Wanyin had never refused anything her mother asked of her, from childhood to adulthood. This time was no different.

But who could have known that the Su family's Peony Banquet would nearly cost her life?

After narrowly escaping death, she thought she would have the chance to start over. But fate played a cruel joke on her...

To serve as a pawn, to be used by others? If it meant she could stay alive, what did it matter?

Because of a meeting when they were young, Su Xiuyan could never forget the younger daughter of the Lin family.

At first, he only wished to repay the kindness she had shown him. When their families met again in the capital, he went to his father and asked him to host a Peony Banquet.

When she took a blow meant for him from an assassin, he felt a jumble of emotions.

It seemed he owed her even more now. How could he ever repay her?

All she asked was, "I hope Young Master Su will help the Lin family whenever he can."

How could he refuse anything she asked of him?

Later, when she deliberately approached him, he was delighted at first, but gradually began to feel that something was not quite right.

Tender affection, half true and half false. Was she doing this willingly, or was someone forcing her?

A heroine who grows over time. Plot and romance split 50:50. Entirely fictional setting, with a bit of an ensemble cast.
