Mu Zhao never thought he would loathe a woman so far above him in status.

That woman was lovesick for him, even writing racy stories about him and the capital’s noble ladies, adding a few scandalous blemishes to his reputation for being averse to women.

What made him even more disgusted was that this woman’s name was Yue Si Chao.

Si Chao? It almost sounds like “Si Zhao,” doesn’t it?

She was just an unremarkable, low-ranking official’s daughter. Normally, he wouldn’t have the slightest interaction with her.

Mu Zhao’s eyes were cold, his annoyance barely concealed: “Since it’s come to this, I’ll give you a title. Don’t expect anything else.”

Yue Si Chao weighed the pros and cons in her mind and nodded obediently: “Okay.”

Mu Zhao thought that once Yue Si Chao entered the Marquis’s mansion, she wouldn’t be well-behaved and would definitely try every means to seduce him.

Unexpectedly, she really did stay secluded in her courtyard, spending her days only with her writing.

Until one day, Mu Zhao unintentionally saw her personal maid shyly handing several sheets of paper to a gentle and refined scholar.

From then on, Yue Si Chao felt that Mu Zhao’s attitude towards her inexplicably warmed up…
