Lord Quan Woos the Poisonous Lady of the Marquis’s Household

She desperately needs powerful backing to deal with all the monsters coming at her, so she has no choice but to marry him under an agreement. Little does she know she’s walked straight into the web of love he laid for her long ago.

[Their first meeting]

She’s a hunter’s daughter from the countryside. He returns victorious, galloping down the official road, when he accidentally knocks over the precious goods she’d poured her heart into making, hoping they’d make her fortune. That’s how their feud begins.

She grits her teeth. “I’d better never see you again!”

[Their reunion]

She’s transformed into the legitimate daughter of the Dongyang Marquis’s household, and he’s become the uncle of her worthless fiancé... But she mistakes him for someone else and hurls a letter of divorce at him. “Su Li, I’m breaking off the engagement!”

[Later]

She presents the tiger tally she stole from him with both hands. “I’ll give this back to you on one condition: marry me.”

“Deal.” He curls his lip, a triumphant smile appearing in his beautiful phoenix eyes.

[After marriage]

The moment he pins her down, Yun Chuwei grits her teeth. “Didn’t our prenuptial agreement say we’d share a room but not a bed?”

He arches a brow and grins wickedly. “Right, no sharing a bed. The bath, the desk, those will do just fine.”

Yun Chuwei, a leading actress in the film industry, died in an accident during a shoot and transmigrated into the legitimate daughter of a marquis’s household, switched at birth and raised in the countryside.

A worthless fiancé?

No problem. She’ll plot the perfect breakup, swindle his money, and make him regret it until his guts twist!

A scheming white-lotus younger sister who stole her place?

No problem. She’s acted in countless palace-intrigue dramas and has mastered the art of face-slapping. She’s been looking for someone to practice on.

She can take down the white lotus and defeat the worthless man, but she can’t escape the worthless man’s ninth uncle.

Su Yan is the youngest duke in Nanliang and the youngest elder of the Su clan. He’s powerful, rich, and handsome, but he’s the one man every unmarried woman in Nanliang only dares dream about, never marry. His four pillars are pure yang, meaning he’s fated to be alone and destined to bring misfortune to his wife.

She: “What nonsense about pure yang and being fated to be alone? I’ve never liked fate playing tricks on people. I’d rather play tricks on fate. I assume Ninth Lord feels the same. Other women may be too afraid to marry you, but I will.”

He: “On what terms?”

She: “You’ll give me the power and money no one else can.”

He: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll bring you to an early grave?”

She: “Go ahead and try.”

He leans in close. “Besides power and money, I can give you an overwhelming pleasure you’ve never experienced before.”
