The Young Lord Is Alluring, and the Grand Tutor Kneels to Beg for Mercy

Zhao Yunxi borrows her cousin’s body to return from the dead, only to realize that her cousin is a woman. Thanks to a lie told by the former Princess of Chu, she is forced to take on both the brother’s and sister’s identities, playing two roles at once. To uphold the dignity of the Prince of Chu’s household and avenge her family’s blood feud, she decides to disguise herself as a man and enter the court. Leaning against the bed curtains, she finds her former enemy, Grand Tutor Xiao, panting heavily over her, his face flushed as he demands to know who she is. “I’m your father.” She beats the enemy senseless and escapes, only for an imperial edict to make Xiao Haoyue the fiancé attached to her second identity. She can disguise herself as a man and stir up the court, and she has no trouble pretending to be frail and sickly. Zhao Yunxi takes charge, rising step by step from a disgraced heir to the pinnacle of power. But she makes one mistake: she gets involved with Xiao Haoyue, a pathologically possessive, jealous man. “If you dare not love me, I’ll die right in front of you.” “If you dare fall for someone else, I’ll kill him first, then die right in front of you.” Zhao Yunxi is at a loss. “Is there a way to do this without anyone dying?” He keeps her trapped, coaxing her closer with each step, his voice so sinister it’s terrifying. “Zhao Yunxi, the first time you provoked me, I let you go. But you came back for a second round. This time, I swear I’ll never let you go.” Zhao Yunxi: So he recognized me from the start?!
