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

Xie Wan didn't reply, as indulging in a war of words at this moment would be pointless. She needed to identify the person responsible for placing the incense. This person must be a trusted confidant of Lady Marquis Ye or Ma Yushan. Xie Wan might not be able to bring them down, but she would make sure they paid a price.


She turned her gaze toward Li Yu and knelt before him, her expression filled with sorrow and a desolate tone in her voice, "I received an invitation to attend the banquet, never imagining to encounter such unjust calamity. If it weren't for Prince Li's adherence to propriety and if I was not slightly knowledgeable in the art of determining poisons, I would have already fallen victim to the scheme. I implore Prince to consider my father, who dedicated his life to protecting the country and serving in the military, and seek justice on my behalf."
