The Marquis of Wu's two sons had very different reputations. The elder son was upright, kind, courteous, and self-disciplined, and people never stopped praising him. The second son was arrogant, unruly, and constantly causing trouble, so people gave him a wide berth.
But when Jiang Feng'er came to stay at their residence, she discovered that things weren't as they seemed.
The elder son looked down on her humble family background and refused to save her when she was in danger. The second son, though awkward and shy, stepped in to help her.
The trouble was, the elder son who looked down on her was the one she'd been betrothed to since childhood.
Jiang Feng'er: No way. She had someone else in mind for her future husband.
With that thought, she smiled at the second son. He looked away, but his ears turned red all the same.

Chu Qiqing was the second son of the Marquis of Chu. Born into a prominent family and blessed with striking looks, he might not have been as famous as his older brother, but he lived a carefree life.
He had never wanted to compete with his brother, but eventually he realized that some things had to be fought for.
When the new girl first entered the residence, he thought she was delicate and shy.
The next time he saw her, he thought she was bold and reckless.
She praised him, clung to him, and looked at him with an unrestrained smile. She left him flustered, thinking of her night after night.
And after all that, she told him she had been betrothed to his older brother since childhood.
Was she going to dump him?
Not a chance!

On their wedding night, the bed kept shaking without pause.
The newly appointed young general, tipsy with delight, leaned close to his bride's ear and asked, "My lady, who's better, my brother or me?"
Jiang Feng'er: You're good, I'm good, he's good, everyone's good.
Chu Qiqing: ?
1. One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship.
2. Set in an alternate historical world, with many original worldbuilding details. Women marry at eighteen in this setting.
3. The second male lead will suffer for his actions, but he won't win her back. The younger brother takes his place.
4. An older-woman/younger-man romance. The male lead is a well-behaved puppy in front of the heroine.
5. The male lead doesn't know at first that the heroine is betrothed to his older brother.

"Dodging the Clingy Man"
After Du Suihao became the Crown Prince's concubine, she began plotting when she could pin him down.
But the Crown Prince seemed completely indifferent to her beauty and figure, leaving her out in the cold.
Furious, Du Suihao steeled herself and climbed into the Crown Prince's bed under cover of darkness. This time, though, he didn't push her away.
But after their night together, Du Suihao saw the familiar handsome face beside her and froze.
Wasn't this the eunuch she'd once saved? What was he doing here?! And last night, he...
Du Suihao knew she was in serious trouble and planned to pack up and leave. But just as she was preparing to slip away, the Crown Prince was attacked. The palace tightened security, and not even a fly could get out, let alone her.
The handsome eunuch who'd taken advantage of her dropped all pretense and clung to her every day.
Lin Qizhao: The Crown Prince is blind now. He can't see what we're doing, so don't worry.
Du Suihao: One mistake can haunt you forever. I can't keep making them!
To save her own skin, Du Suihao resisted the temptation in front of her and left Lin Qizhao out in the cold.
But the blind Crown Prince was deposed, and the little-known Fourth Prince took his place as Crown Prince.
On the very night the new Crown Prince was appointed, Du Suihao was summoned by the Fourth Prince.
Beneath the red curtains in the tender, shadowy night, Du Suihao waited nervously for the Fourth Prince to arrive.
But when she saw Lin Qizhao approaching in the Crown Prince's robes, she was left speechless.
Lin Qizhao smiled at her and sat down beside her. "Didn't you want to pin down the Crown Prince? Well, I am the Crown Prince now. Pin me down."
Reader guide:
