When Nan Yin came of age, her elder sister broke off her engagement, forcing her to marry Pei Xiu, the regent rumored to be old, ugly, and afflicted with a leg ailment.
It wasn't until their wedding night that she saw the man everyone had been talking about.
He wore a red robe, his long hair casually tied back, framing a face so beautiful it seemed almost demonic. His eyes were slightly downcast, their color pale, and the air around him oppressive.
He was nothing like the rumors.
Nan Yin cautiously tugged at his sleeve. “Are you the regent?”
The faintest hint of warmth curved Pei Xiu's lips, colored by the glow of the wedding candles. His gentle, husky voice reached Nan Yin with the evening breeze. “Are you satisfied with me, my lady?”
Pei Xiu knew there were many rumors about him, but he had never cared, until he heard someone say he was impotent. And that someone was his own wife.
That night, the usually restrained and proper man finally dropped his facade. He pressed Nan Yin onto the bed, kissing and caressing her as he rasped, “You haven't tried me. How do you know I'm impotent?”
Nan Yin blurted out, “But don't you have a leg ailment? I heard...”
Pei Xiu laughed in exasperation. His hands began loosening her clothes as he silenced her still-babbling lips with a kiss.
“There's only one way to find out whether my leg is impaired.”
Afterward, Nan Yin told everyone she met that Pei Xiu was as flawless as jade and strong as an ox.
Most importantly, he was pretty good in bed.
