I beg you all to follow it.
[Femme fatale courtesan + household intrigue + devoted to each other + husband chases his wife + strong female lead + clear-eyed heroine]
Shen Yuzhu was the cherished jewel of the Censor's residence.
After a calamity brought her family to ruin, she accidentally ended up in the pleasure quarter and was reduced to a courtesan.
With her celestial beauty and captivating charm, she became the living signboard of Yuchun Hall.
Between keeping up her disguise and making her escape, she discovered that the enemy she had sought so desperately was a patron on her debut night.
Prince Zhao was addicted to the taste of Shen Yuzhu.
He kept her hidden in his bedchamber, indulged in their passionate nights, and foolishly imagined he could train her like a dog.
Shen Yuzhu kept her secret close. Beneath warm lotus-patterned curtains, she played along with him, soft and pliant, while secretly building a cage for him.
She wanted revenge, and only Prince Zhao was a blade sharp enough to wield.
She played the victim and acted virtuous.
Once she had secured her footing in the marquis's residence, where people devoured one another, she would kill every culprit and plunge the household into chaos.
But little by little, that bloodthirsty man became obsessed with her of his own accord.
He gathered evidence for her, cleared her name, and placed supreme power in her hands, pleading again and again: "Yuzhu, don't leave me. Please stay."
My darlings, I'm so sorry, this book might only have one or two chapters left before it ends. I'm so sad, *sobs*. Let's meet again in the next book, okay, my darlings? Promise me! You'll definitely come! The new book will probably be released around the 12th. Thank you all so much for your support, I bow deeply to you all. Thank you for being with me all this way.
Bandit slang: Robbery is called "money-gnawing on the rich," and trading is called "moving ginger." As for Liangying's "breaking into the kiln," it meant he wanted to make a living there.
