Blurb:
A young widow arrives in the capital to seek refuge with relatives at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
She claims she suffered terribly at her husband's family home and can barely go on living.
Shen Linzhen, Prince of Xuan Commandery, happens to be staying at the duke's mansion and witnesses the scene. Having met countless people, he immediately realizes the young woman's acting is subpar: she's wailing without tears, forcing them out.
Not tragic at all.
For reasons of his own, he gives the young widow a hand, helping her get what she wants and stay at the mansion.
Who would have guessed that the young widow would latch onto him? She says she's grateful for his kindness and wants to repay him. She says she has a unique skill and wants him to invest in her.
And she says... she says she likes him and wants to pursue him, then asks if he'll let her.
A vein throbs faintly at Shen Linzhen's temple. Can someone really just say... something like that out loud?
In any case, Shen Linzhen can't come up with an answer.
When he doesn't answer, the young widow takes it as consent.
So she begins pursuing him boldly, yet furtively.
She'll carry a pot of flowers, dodge everyone, and quietly appear in his courtyard, saying sweetly, "Your courtyard gets the best sunlight. My flowers like it."
She'll pick the most dazzling, gorgeous flower from a branch and give it to him, then tip her head back and ask for a kiss. Under his helpless gaze, she'll happily run off.
After successfully stealing a kiss, she'll complain without a hint of shame, "I like you! You were so close just now. How could I resist kissing you?"
Without realizing it, Shen Linzhen gradually gets used to having someone always hovering around him.
Then one day, she suddenly stops circling him.
How can Shen Linzhen allow that?
He corners her against the wall and insists she take responsibility for him.
The young widow snaps, "What makes you think I should?"
"Why, naturally, because..." Shen Linzhen tries to sound her out, relying on a few hazy images in his mind. "Because we've been married for ages, haven't we?"
He lowers his eyes, feigning hurt. "You took advantage of my amnesia to bully me."
The young widow looks guilty.
Just as he thought!
Shen Linzhen sneers.
Her acting is still terrible.
