Warmth Beneath the Lotus Canopy: The Cold, Aloof Younger Uncle Can’t Resist Temptation

【A sweet, seemingly fragile rabbit of a niece with a hidden dark side【Expression】and a clear-eyed, rule-abiding uncle who falls with her】 The capital was in an uproar when it came out that the niece the Chancellor Xie had doted on for seventeen years was an impostor. Everyone was gossiping about where Xie Ximu had picked up that little stray. While rumors flew everywhere, beneath the red bed curtains, Xie Shilang held his false niece in his arms as they surrendered to passion, the bed strewn with springtime delights. Afterward, Xie Shilang dressed and acted as if nothing had happened. He even wanted to arrange a marriage for Xie Ximu. But he couldn't have it both ways. She had always known that Xie Shilang was refined and peerless, bright as moonlight. Yet she was determined to stain his pristine robes, drag him from his pedestal, and drive him mad for her! So what if the world gossiped? So what if the real daughter stole her honored identity? She had planned it all herself. She knew that in the Chancellor's residence, she wasn't the only one who had gone mad. She struck with precision and pressed him at every turn, throwing him into disarray and making him walk, fully aware, step by step into the trap she had laid for him. Xie Shilang had always kept a demon hidden in his heart. One day, her true identity was revealed, and servants across the palace knelt and begged her to return. The cool, self-possessed Lord Xie finally broke down. Clutching her hand, he demanded hoarsely, “You were the one who flirted with me first. Are you really going to leave me?” Xie Ximu nestled into his arms, perfectly content. “What's so great about being a princess? Being the Chancellor's wife is far better.”
