[Rough-spoken, cold-hearted countrywoman x beautiful, clueless, refined young master]
Yan Yun lived alone in the deep mountains and forests as a hunter. When she came of age, she picked up a handsome husband for herself.
In a pitfall trap, she found a young man with red lips and pearly teeth, his hair piled high and adorned with clouds, a slender waist wrapped in brocade finery. He begged her to save him.
Of course she had to save him!
Then she lost her head and took advantage of him.

Pei Liansheng was a son of a prominent family, waiting to be married in the seclusion of his chambers.
On his way back to his ancestral home, refugees overturned his carriage. He fled into the mountains with his younger brother and fell into a trap, leaving him no choice but to ask a passing countrywoman for help.
But the woman threatened to take his life unless he married her. Pei Liansheng was furious and indignant. As if! He would never!
Then he agreed.
He was good at sweet-talking people, though. He spoke honeyed words, then turned and ran. He had not even made it three miles before Yan Yun caught him and dragged him back. He trembled in terror, but she was not angry. She gently soothed him and applied medicine to his wounds.
When she held his calf, Pei Liansheng's whole body went limp, despite himself. Dazed, he let her coax him into intimacy.
After a night of passion, he lay in Yan Yun's arms, embarrassed and angry, resenting how easily a countrywoman had taken his chastity. He prided himself on his beauty. How could he get trapped here? He still had to return to the estate and marry into a better family!
So he ran away again. This time, she did not catch him...

When they met again, Yan Yun had already married someone else. Watching her fuss over another man, Pei Liansheng was so angry he snapped a fingernail. He could not accept it. On a rainy night, he secretly seduced her into bed.
“Why did you come back? Didn't you call me a country bumpkin?” Yan Yun dodged his kiss and gripped his throat. “If they catch you cheating, what are you going to do?”
Pei Liansheng trembled as he undressed, pressing his snowy white body into her arms. His breath was fragrant as an orchid. “If they find out, you can watch me drown in a pig cage and set me alight. Even in the underworld, we'll be a pair of ghost lovers...”
“You shameless hussy!” Yan Yun cursed, then kissed the lips she had longed for day and night
