On the night of a lunar eclipse, Xie Wan was marked as the ill-fated lone star.
Growing up in a Taoist temple, Xie Wan returned home to find herself without her parents. She faced external threats from vicious wolves while dealing with younger brothers crying for food.
To make matters worse, her biased grandmother had her heart set on driving Xie Wan out of the residence.
A certain man said, "Enough with the preambles, get to the point!"
"Oh," Xie Wan smiled faintly, "the point is, I've taken a liking to someone. I'll plan step by step, enticing him, using his influence to establish my family's power, and employing his help to uncover the truth."
The man wasn't pleased, "Aren't you supposed to seize the opportunity and take me down?"
Xie Wan replied calmly, "No hurry, no hurry. What's in the bowl won't go cold, even if we wait to eat it later."
The man retorted, "I feel pretty urgent though."
Xie Wan: ...

The Marquis's Daughter Seduced the Prince, and He Can't Resist Anymore

The room instantly became much brighter as Xie Wan adjusted the lampshade. Just as she finished, Rushi and Ruhua entered through the window.


Xie Wan hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Did you encounter any trouble?"


Rushi and Ruhua both shook their heads. Rushi explained, "No, we didn't. After Ruhua went in, she didn't stay long and came out. I deliberately stayed behind to make sure no one was following us before we returned together."


Xie Wan breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Ruhua, asking, "Did you meet the steward?"


Ruhua described the events at the Marquis of Wu'an's residence truthfully and explained how she deliberately stayed behind to confirm the information about the middle-aged man.


Frowning, Xie Wan said, "No one knew that I had sent you and the others to investigate the Marquis of Wu'an's residence tonight. So, the guards' reactions should be genuine. The middle-aged man who fought you is undoubtedly the steward."


It's All Your Fault!
