The Cousin Miss Is Beautiful and Dark-Hearted

At nineteen, Shen Hanyu entered the household as a concubine and was tormented to death. Reborn, she rewrote her fate. Her two-faced cousin put on an act, so Shen Hanyu played along, putting on an even better show. Her scheming male cousin had designs on her, so Shen Hanyu smiled sweetly and lured him straight into the depths of hell. Afraid she might marry into a powerful family, her aunt hurried to arrange a match for her with just anyone. Shen Hanyu smiled serenely. Then she would marry into a powerful family, and crush everyone who had bullied her beneath her feet. Everyone said the young master of the founding Duke of Jun's household was a man of untold prestige who kept his distance from women. Using the debt he owed her for saving his life, Shen Hanyu married into the Duke's household and became his only wife. Everyone thought Pei Du must have had his reasons for marrying her. Shen Hanyu thought so too. Without that debt of gratitude, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Until Pei Du said, “I schemed and plotted every which way, all to finally marry you.” Shen Hanyu finally understood. She was the one who had walked straight into the tiger's den.
