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

On the way here, Xie Wan had pondered many questions. Sun Mei's pregnancy was a tremendous joy for the Duke of Ying's household. Everyone was ecstatic about it, so how could they twist this joyful event into such a malicious interpretation?


Someone must be behind these malicious thoughts.


It couldn't be the Duke of Ying, his wife, or even Chen Cen himself. Today, Li Yu handed over power, and the court must be in chaos. Even though the Duke of Ying didn't have much real power, he was still Li Yu's uncle, and he would be feeling the urgency too. It wouldn't be possible for him to return to the mansion at a time like this.


So, it couldn't be the Duke of Ying, his wife, or Chen Cen. The only possibility was Sun Rong, who had a history of conflict with Sun Mei since childhood and was now facing conflicting interests.


Everything's Insubstantial
