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

Ma Yuheng glanced at her upon hearing her words and smirked, "Saying that does make me feel a bit better."


Xie Wan snorted lightly, "It's just a fact."


Ma Yuheng nodded, took another sip of wine, and then whispered, "The other night, the person who sneaked into the Marquis Wu'an's residence was your maid?"


Given that Rushi had revealed her martial skills, he guessed right.


Xie Wan didn't hide it from him either, nodding, "Yes, it was my maid. You know, I grew up in a Taoist temple. Those from the Taoist tradition usually have some self-defense skills."


"Your maid's skills are far from ordinary," Ma Yuheng said calmly, "Not a single guard from the entire Duke's residence was her match."


Xie Wan didn't bother explaining, as they weren't that familiar and hadn't reached the stage of revealing their cards to each other.


Seeing that she didn't respond, Ma Yuheng didn't press further. He asked, "How did the test go?"


Acting Can't Be Too Good
