Spring Water and a Jade Waist

[A bewitching, delicate beauty who knows how to lure men in] [A wild, lustful, rough-hewn man / A cold, abstinent powerhouse]

[Happy ending, sweet romance, devoted couple / baby talk / swapped marriages / stand-in / household intrigue]

After being reborn and switching marriages with her older sister, Rong Chan realized something was strange about her husband.

He only appeared at night and was nowhere to be seen during the day.

Rong Chan thought she had married a ghost who could not bear the sunlight.

Every night of passion left her swinging back and forth between surrender and clarity.

Then, at the Lantern Festival family banquet, the highly revered nobleman suddenly reached out and caught her by the waist.

As the sound of phoenix flutes filled the air and lantern light shifted, she saw the face beneath his mask.

From that moment on, her heart could never be calm again.

The day Xiao Jingzhen returned disguised as his deceased elder brother, his double life began.

By day, he was a cool and composed young gentleman;

By night, he loosened his collar, playing the role of a crude brute as he pinned her beneath the red canopy.

Everything was flawless.

And yet he fell into the hands of that woman.

The kitchen steamed with heat. She grew warm, filling the room with a milky fragrance that made his blood race;

As she bent to wash clothes, her waist was soft as a stream in spring, as if it might break at any moment.

But in her sleep and dreams, she called only his dead brother's name.

...How utterly ungrateful!

She dared to treat him as a stand-in, so he was determined to make her fall in love with him.
