Painting the Ruyi

Qin Hua transmigrates as the legitimate eldest daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital.

Her scumbag father dotes on his concubine and neglects his wife, driving Qin Hua's mother to her death. Now he even wants to send Qin Hua off to become someone's concubine.

She won't put up with it. She beats the grievance drum, goes before the Imperial Court, and takes her own father to task, turning the capital upside down and earning a reputation as its fiercest woman!

Ming Chen, the infamous Marquis of Zhenbei.

He has fought princes, defied imperial decrees, beheaded high officials, and abused kings. He's the capital's number-one wastrel.

To avoid being forcibly taken as a prince's secondary consort, the fierce young lady makes the first move. After three visits and three playful encounters, with fine wine and lavish feasts, she is determined to make him her husband!

Who knew the wastrel would turn the tables, play the hero, and court her with tender affection, all while plotting to marry her?

When a fierce woman takes on a wastrel, let's see who's really the capital's biggest villain!
