Tonight, I Shall Go to My Lover

A new young lady has arrived at the Shen residence. Her eyes are as clear as autumn waters, and she has a sweet tongue and a ready smile. She especially loves smiling at Censor Yan, who cuts an imposing figure in his official robes. Censor Yan says coldly, "Miss Shen, please behave yourself." Miss Shen ignores him. She acts coy and flirtatious, teasing him in every way she can. Whenever her hands are idle, she lets one wander to his waist. After her persistent pursuit, Censor Yan gradually decides that keeping her like a little cat in the inner quarters, with the occasional bit of teasing when he has time, might not be so bad. And so, the marriage is settled. Miss Shen's smile grows even brighter. No one knows she's a fake heiress and a real con artist, hired for money to get close to Censor Yan and pursue some ulterior scheme. Now that her mission is complete, she plans to run away before the wedding. But thinking of Censor Yan's broad shoulders and narrow waist, powerful hips and long legs, she swallows hard and postpones her escape until the day after their wedding. On their wedding night, Censor Yan proves every bit as impressive as she'd hoped. Satisfied, she rides off on a fast horse the next morning without a backward glance. Who could have guessed that one day her victim would catch her? This very impressive man shackles her ankle and grips her chin, demanding she pay for what she's done. With death staring her in the face, she argues her case even though she knows she's in the wrong. "It was wrong of me to deceive you, but even if I give you every benefit of the doubt, surely you weren't blameless either?" "Of course I was wrong." He rubs the little red mole beneath her neck, his voice low. "My mistake was being too gentle with you on our wedding night. You still had enough strength to get out of bed the next morning, ride a horse, and leave the city." * Yan Yuanzhao has spent years catching criminals and throwing them in prison, while bringing order to the imperial court. He never expected that after hunting geese all his life, one would peck his eye out. He'd been tricked, body and heart alike. The first year after his wife ran away, he swore he'd catch the con artist and send her to prison to face a harsh trial. The second year after his wife ran away, he swore he'd catch the con artist and make her kneel and beg for forgiveness. In the nth year after his wife ran away, he tossed and turned late into the night, asking himself: Was I not good enough on our wedding night?

Last month, she disguised herself as a maid for a job and had the misfortune of being relentlessly hunted by an expert. The man showed no mercy. He broke Yun Ling's blade, and she ran out of hidden weapons. In the end, wiping away tears, she threw rocks at him and squeezed her eyes shut, ready to meet the King of Hell. To her surprise, the man really was knocked unconscious by her rocks. When he woke, he had lost his memory, called her his savior, and begged her to take him in.

She grinned smugly, then threw rocks at him to humiliate him. Qi Zheng's vision went black. When his memories finally return, Qi Zheng remembers doing her laundry and cooking for her, all while she led him around by the nose. He gives a cold laugh. A gentleman never leaves a grudge unsettled. He'll repay every humiliation she inflicted on him tenfold, a hundredfold. So he keeps pretending to have amnesia. He waits on her hand and foot while fishing for information, plotting to wipe out the organization behind her in one fell swoop. Everything is going smoothly. Far too smoothly! --- As the young woman eagerly throws herself at him in bed, Qi Zheng sighs softly and turns to welcome her. Moonlight shimmers, the bed frame creaks and sways. The young woman pants drowsily and asks, "What are you making for breakfast tomorrow?" Qi Zheng thrusts his hips and says, "Stir-fried silverfish and eggs, and lotus seed porridge with lotus leaves. How does that sound?" Yun Ling: "Mmm... Sounds good!"
