The Alluring Legitimate Daughter

Mo Sang transmigrates to a time and place absent from the history books. A white-collar career star who has always thrived in the workplace finds herself facing her nemesis here, the aloof, ice-cold heartthrob Gong Min, a man she loathes with gritted teeth. He thinks she is far too devious and ruthless. She thinks he is far too cold and arrogant. She had planned to pass the time by tormenting wicked women and men and teasing handsome young men. Who could have guessed that an imperial edict would bind two people who cannot stand each other together, making them the “Mutually Disdainful Couple”? From then on, they live wary lives, constantly second-guessing each other, staying on their guard, plotting behind one another’s backs, and jumping at every turn. But who can predict how things will turn out? The more these two people dislike each other, the more they find themselves growing fond of one another. She says, “You are a virtuous minister who protects the country, and I am a loyal daughter of a military family. Why is it that whenever I’m with you, I feel like we’re partners in crime?” He says, “Bad company corrupts good character.” Mo Sang nods. That is certainly true. But just who is corrupting whom? Later on... She asks, “Gong Min, are you incapable of smiling, or do you simply never smile?” He gazes at her for ten breaths, then breaks into a radiant smile. “Mo Sang, if I had known that one day I would love you more than myself, I wouldn’t have wasted time guarding against you and suspecting you from the start. I would have spent every moment loving you with all my heart. A lifetime is too short, and I’m afraid it won’t be enough to love you.” Mo Sang swallows and says, “Husband, don’t go smiling like that all the time. When you smile, you look so irresistible...” Gong Min’s face darkens, but the next instant he flashes a smile that could entrance the whole world. “Don’t worry, my lady. I only smile for you, and I only turn on the charm for you.” The young woman gets a nosebleed on the spot... 【This is a tale of a career-minded white-collar woman who transmigrates to an ancient kingdom in another world, meets an aloof heartthrob, and is bound to him by the emperor. They fight and scheme against each other, then fall in love, join forces as equals, and become partners in crime in a story of political intrigue and romance.】
