After We Both Got Drugged by Our Nemesis, April 27, 2025
A bickering couple: frail, delicate noblewoman vs. proud young general
Cui Jiang is a well-bred young lady famous throughout the capital, whose every word and deed conforms to the rules of proper feminine conduct.
She is courteous and graceful, gentle and agreeable to everyone, yet she is always hostile toward Xie Lian.
Xie Lian is a young general who took command of an army at a young age, riding a silver-saddled white horse with wild, carefree abandon.
He has always been considerate toward women and is the dream lover of countless noble ladies, but the one person he refuses to show tenderness to is Cui Jiang, the second young lady of the Duke's residence.
Everyone knows that Second Miss Cui and Young General Xie can't stand each other. Even when they meet by chance, they trade barbs for several rounds.
At a palace banquet, Xie Lian made a bet with a group of young dandies:
He would make Second Miss Cui cling to his leg and beg for mercy.
When the banquet ended and everyone went home, they asked him whether Second Miss Cui had begged for mercy.
Xie Lian walked off without a word, the tips of his ears bright red, his palm still clutching a flower-embroidered women's undergarment.
No one knew that on the night of the banquet, the two of them, drugged with an aphrodisiac, had made love in a side hall.
Cui Jiang really had cried, but the boy who had been so arrogant and vicious moments before was now at a loss, trying to comfort her. "Don't cry. I'll be gentler, A Shu."
There was no cure for the aphrodisiac. The only relief was to make love once every half month.
Cui Jiang refused to go to Xie Lian at any cost, so she sent her maid to invite Minister Lin, who had admired her for a long time.
But that bold young man snuck into her bedroom in the dead of night, his eyes red-rimmed and his voice hoarse:
"Cui Jiang, don't even think about finding someone else."
Premise: Love should be honest and open
