Mo Sang transmigrated into a time and place unrecorded in history. A white-collar star who had always thrived in the workplace, she found herself facing her natural enemy: the aloof heartthrob Gong Min.
He thought she was too sinister and ruthless.
She thought he was too cold and arrogant.
She had planned to pass the time by tormenting scumbags and flirting with handsome young men.
Who knew an imperial decree would bind the two people who couldn’t stand each other together, making them a couple who loathed one another?
From then on, they lived a life of mutual suspicion, constant wariness, secret scheming, and daily heart-pounding anxiety.
Who knew how things would turn out? The two people who couldn’t stand each other gradually began to see eye to eye.
She said, “You’re a worthy minister who protects the country, and I’m a loyal daughter of a military family. Why is it that whenever I’m with you, I feel like we’re conspiring together to do evil?”
He said, “Bad company corrupts.”
Mo Sang nodded. That was certainly true.
But in the end, who corrupted whom?
Later…
She asked, “Gong Min, can you not smile, or do you just never smile?”
He looked at her for ten breaths, then broke into a smile. “Mo Sang, if I’d known one day I’d love you more than I love myself, I wouldn’t have wasted time guarding against you and doubting you from the start. I would have spent every moment loving you with all my heart, because a lifetime is too short, and I’m afraid it won’t be enough to love you.”
Mo Sang swallowed and said, “Husband, don’t smile so casually from now on. When you smile, you look so seductive…”
Gong Min’s face darkened, but the next moment he flashed a smile that could enchant the world. “Don’t worry, darling. I’ll only smile for you, and I’ll only be seductive for you.”
The young woman promptly got a nosebleed…
