A cool, Buddhist-minded beauty fallen on hard times VS a possessive, jealous younger man with the madness of a rabid dog

Overbearing pursuit / calculated seduction / forced love / redemption / younger man

Chu Shiyan runs an embroidery shop, content to lie flat and let life pass her by.

When the Chen family holds a wedding banquet, she delivers an order in person.

But just as the guests are raising their cups and drinking merrily,

the local county magistrate suddenly and mysteriously drops dead!

As the woman who happened to be there delivering fabric, she is detained and questioned by the authorities, and forced to become entangled in a murder case.

Using clues from the scene, she cleverly proves her innocence.

She has barely managed to slip away from the authorities' custody

when a dark red figure suddenly appears behind her and pins her against a pillar in the hall.

The man is strikingly beautiful and bewitching, with naturally upturned eyes and pale, thin lips.

His deep eyes brim with undisguised possessiveness.

He bends close to her ear, his low, magnetic voice sounding as he asks,

“Have you forgotten what you did to me that night seven years ago?”

Seeing that he is about to trap her, Chu Shiyan grabs his collar.

She leans close, her warm breath spilling over his throat.

The composure of this usually calm and self-controlled genius physician shatters in an instant.

While his mind is in disarray, she slips away from him once more.

…

But Chu Shiyan never imagined

that her secluded life, in which she wanted only to live in peace, would be shattered just like that.

The tangled grudges she had desperately tried to avoid draw her in once more.

She investigates the truth behind the wrongful case from years ago,

only to find

that the more she investigates, the more every clue leads back to this old acquaintance?!

Bonus scene:

In the past, she was bold and full of herself, keeping the younger him by her side and controlling him as she pleased.

But now the tables have turned.

Late at night, with no one around, he blocks her in a quiet corridor. His fingertips lightly hold her waist, gentle in strength yet shutting off every escape route.

The young man parts his red lips, his cool breath brushing her ear as every word strikes at her heart:

“Big sister, you took everything from me and then ran away, pretending you knew nothing. Did you really think you’d get off that easily?”

He gently brushes the tip of his nose against her flushed ear and holds her within a few inches of space:

“Big sister, you know I’ve been yours since I was sixteen.”

Reader's guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads sexually inexperienced. Note: At first, the heroine forces her love on the hero; later, the roles reverse, and the male lead forces his love on her in a possessive, push-and-pull dynamic. She is five years older than him. Please read with caution if this bothers you.

2. An alternate-history setting, with some aspects modeled on the Ming dynasty.

3. Everyone is a villain, referring to the political scheming; this makes up much of the heroine's earlier life.

4. The second male lead transmigrates into a book.
