Pleasure Before Sleep

[Flirtatious Without Realizing It, Mischievous Young Lady × Powerful, Hard-to-Impress Iceberg]

Yun Yang is a good little sister. To avenge her older sister, she uses every trick in the book, determined to knock her iceberg of a brother-in-law off his pedestal.

On her way to the capital, traveling alone for a thousand miles in search of her missing sister, Yun Yang comes across a blind man. After giving him water to wash up, she realizes not only is he as handsome as Pan An, he's also considerate. When he hears she's going to the capital, he offers to lead the way.

"You're blind. How can you see where you're going?" Yun Yang asks suspiciously.

"My eyes may be blind, but my heart is not. I come from the Xue family of the capital..." the blind man says.

Yun Yang cuts him off indignantly. "Do you know Xue Yu, head of the Xue family? Let me tell you, he's so cold and clueless, and he's terribly irresponsible toward my sister!"

Xue Yu: "...Are you talking about Xue Yu, courtesy name Lingjun? What are you to him?"

Yun Yang: "Of course I know him! He's my brother-in-law!"

What do you do when you slander someone right to his face?

In Xue Yu's eyes, his wife's younger sister is reckless and naive. She has an innocent face, but she's wild and untamable.

Since arriving in the capital, she's been charming everyone around her, calling him "brother-in-law" every other word. She has used his influence to win over the hearts of many young noblemen, and trampled on plenty of sincere affection along the way.

He thought she had no heart, until one day she finally agreed to disappear from his life for good, all to plead on behalf of the sixth son of the Lu family, Lu Jie.

Lu Jie was the new top scorer in the palace examination, awarded third place.

Xue Yu remembered him as rigid and cutting, a sharp-tongued official who had offended plenty of people at court. Unlike the young men who had pursued his wife's younger sister, Lu Jie had never chased after her. He was as cold and dull as Xue Yu himself. How could Yun Yang like him?

Xue Yu couldn't understand it. He only grew more and more displeased with Lu Jie, so, to quiet his own troubled heart, he arranged a match for Yun Yang and quickly married her off to Lu Jie.

As the wedding date approached, Yun Yang noticed her brother-in-law Xue Yu's temper growing increasingly strange.

She thought to herself that empty-nest old men were difficult to deal with, then happily went on preparing to marry.

But one day, her brother-in-law blocked her path as she was going to meet Lu Jie. A strange smile rose in his eyes as he approached her step by step.

"Yangyang, what do you think of me compared to Lu Jie? Which of us is better?"

Looking at the man before her, Yun Yang saw that he had abandoned his usual refined, cool demeanor. He wore bright, colorful robes, his hair bound with a jade crown and adorned with a flower. He was truly stunning.

Mindful that she was living under his roof, she gave an awkward smile. "Of course it's you, sir. How could Lu Jie compare to my brother-in-law?"

Xue Yu: Since you think so, don't marry him. Marry me instead.

Yun Yang: ???

· A sweet romance, with a faithful couple and a happy ending.

· The male lead isn't really her brother-in-law. There's more to it, so proceed with caution if that isn't your thing.

Theme: Break through adversity and love life.
