Political intrigue + Mansion scheming + Strong female protagonist + Devoted doting husband + True/False heiress (No time travel, no rebirth)
Rumor has it there’s a highly sought-after position in the palace called the “Spring Awakener,” responsible for teaching intimate arts to consorts about to receive the emperor’s favor. This person is perverted and ruthless—no palace maid has ever escaped his chambers alive. Bai Jingchu, the adopted daughter of the Bai family, was sent to this man’s outer residence in a bridal sedan chair by her adoptive father.
Three years later, Jingchu crawled out from a pile of corpses, feigning madness to escape back to the Bai family. But her stepmother sent her to test the marriage bed of the noble and pampered Young Master Yan. For her, Young Master Yan not only called off his engagement with the Bai family’s true heiress but nearly led troops to ransack the entire Bai household.
Rumors spread that Bai Jingchu had inherited the Spring Awakener’s secret arts, possessing techniques that made men crave her like an addiction—none could resist.
The leader of the Assassins’ Guild, Qin Changji, declared: “Indeed. Whoever dares lay a finger on her, I’ll sever their head.”
The wealthiest merchant of Chang’an, whose riches rivaled the nation, said: “Indeed. Whoever opposes her, I’ll cut off their fortune.”
The revered Duke Dingguo stated: “Indeed. Whoever angers her is an enemy of the Duke Dingguo estate.”
Chi Yanqing leisurely coiled the snakebone violet-gold whip around his wrist: “Whoever dares covet my woman or steal my easy life, I’ll confiscate their property and annihilate their kingdom.”
The emperor rose in fury from his dragon throne: “All of you, get out! She is my princess, the future Empress of Chang’an. Who the hell dares bully her?”
