Dark Fragrance

Before his rebirth, Shang Junyan's view of Su Xinyi: Despicable and shameless, cunning and deceitful, cruel and ruthless. He dreams of divorcing her.
After his rebirth, Shang Junyan's view of Su Xinyi: Beautiful and kind-hearted, open and upright, full of righteousness. He dreams of marrying her.
Before her rebirth, Su Xinyi's view of Shang Junyan: Generous and understanding, steady and dependable, a true gentleman, worth marrying.
After her rebirth, Su Xinyi's view of Shang Junyan: Petty-minded, pretentious, a real scoundrel, won't marry him even if she dies.
In her previous life, Su Xinyi had a difficult life. She jumped from a countryside girl to the only daughter of the fourth family in Qi Country Duke's Mansion. She lived cautiously and carefully. The other three families of the Duke Mansion coveted her family's property and regarded her, who had returned to her ancestry, as a thorn in their eyes, hating her and wanting her gone.
After getting married, her husband disliked her, her mother-in-law was unhappy, and they forced her to die so that her husband could marry a noble woman. Su Xinyi burned down the Pingjing Prince Mansion, so they could all die together.
After her rebirth, Su Xinyi fears nothing. First, she destroys her own marriage, then she dutifully serves her birth mother, hoping she lives a hundred years. Finally, she repays the Crown Prince's help in her previous life, praising him as a good and generous person whenever she meets someone, helping the poor and uplifting the needy, a great man indeed.
The great Crown Prince: I heard someone is spreading the word that I am a good person.
The Crown Prince, praised into his role, finds out that the little girl who has been praising him is actually meeting someone else for a blind date, a little liar telling lies!
His heart, once black as coal, gradually gains warmth because of her.
In the end, the little liar marries the very successful Crown Prince whom she praised, and her scumbag ex-husband becomes the Crown Prince's servant.

Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Not understanding why the water used for making tea had to be distinguished by source and temperature, and why the type of teapot was so important, made her feel alienated. These details felt ill-fit for someone raised on wild game in the mountains.


But now, she could sit here and appreciate the Crown Prince's graceful ceremonial tea-making. She understood the purpose of each step, and what each subsequent movement would be.


A clear cup of tea sat before her, and Su Xinyi collected her drifting thoughts. Holding the cup by its rim with one hand and its base with the other, she took a small sip before saying with a smile, "Thank you for the tea, Your Highness."


Yan Junchu looked away from her hand supporting the teacup, took a sip of his own tea, and replied, "It's just a cup of tea, Sixth Missy. No need to be so formal."


Su Xinyi thought to herself, who else in the world, aside from the Emperor and Empress, presumed to be anything but polite to the Crown Prince?
