The Young Lady Is Exceptionally Beautiful

When Baizhi was ten, her entire family died in a fire. Her uncle, who lived far away in the capital, took her in and cared for her as his own.

The Duke's household had a young lady who was Baizhi's cousin. Frail and never without her medicine, she was nevertheless as beautiful as Xi Shi, gentle in nature, and breathtakingly lovely.

When word spread that her health had greatly improved and she had begun making appearances around the capital, suitors came in an endless stream. Even the Crown Prince took notice of her.

The Duchess was not her birth mother, after all, and couldn't decide what to do about the marriage proposals. She asked her own son, a cold and aloof young man, but he replied that there was no need to rush.

Then, one day, she saw her son place a tender kiss on his cousin's forehead and finally understood. It wasn't that none of the suitors were suitable. The rabbit simply wanted to eat the grass right beside its burrow.

Baizhi has always known what she wants: wealth and status, and the truth about how her family died in the fire. Love is just a diversion.

She tempts her cousin, using his love to investigate the truth. She watches him go mad for her, then willingly become her blade.

It's a willing game, not only with her cousin, but with every man she can make use of.

Who is truly above it all? A heart full of fierce ambition, with the tenderness to admire a rose.
