Synopsis
Pei Yan, head of the Pei household, hated liars above all else. Naturally, he had a particular dislike for me: the cousin who said one thing and meant another. At the spring banquet, he exposed me in front of everyone. He said he had never ordered anyone to bring me ginger soup. Nor would he ever wear the sachets and brocade pouches I embroidered. Holding back tears, I pointed at the fan case swinging at his waist. “Then what is that?” Pei Yan’s face was ice-cold. “A keepsake from my late father.” “You would even use this to deceive people? You truly are… shameless.” His words struck like a slap. I sat stunned, surrounded by looks of astonishment and contempt. The vice minister’s daughter, who had just come over to talk to me, leisurely stepped aside and covered her nose with her fan, as though avoiding a plague. “What a lying little slut.” “If Pei Yan hadn’t happened to overhear, we’d all have believed he was interested in her—that she was about to climb straight into the position of Lady Pei!” Genres: Romance, Historical
