[Clear-Eyed, Flirtatious Beauty] [Cool, Noble Family Patriarch]

After falling off a cliff and waking up, noblewoman Luo Wantang is hit with one piece of bad news after another. Her identity has been stolen by her legitimate older sister, her mother's madness is getting worse, and her scheming foster brother sends her to become a good-luck bride for a dissolute playboy bedridden with paralysis...

To save her own life, she climbs into the bed of Gu Yanxiu, the uncle of her late fiancé.

But she is young and shy, and nothing comes of it.

Fortunately, clever as she is, she still manages to get him to marry her, albeit reluctantly.

She becomes the scheming woman whom the noble ladies of the capital both scorn and envy.

He treats her coldly, while she tempts and beguiles him. She wants the title of Chancellor's wife. She wants to use his influence to open a publishing house, make money, and uncover the truth...

Once she has gotten what she wants, she can switch between all sorts of moods at the drop of a hat.

He despises women who are devious and calculating, shameless, and use their looks to seduce men. She happens to be all of those things.

He makes excuses for her flaws. The more he does, the more he gives up: she is resourceful, free-spirited, fearless, and dazzling. He was the one who had been shortsighted.

He trusts her, spoils her, and wants her.

Then he discovers that the sky has fallen: the woman he married is the childhood sweetheart of his deceased nephew, and worse still, the nephew has come back from the dead.

The wild rose he raised with his own hands has started climbing over the wall for her childhood sweetheart.

She climbs a foot higher, and he raises the wall two feet. She climbs again, and he raises it again...
