love at first sight

Because she was going to attend a palace banquet, Chen Sheng tried on clothes for a long time that evening before finally deciding, giving her the answer: "I'll take this one, and you're not allowed to say anything else!"

So she put on... green.

Haha, the original owner only liked green for ten or twenty years and never changed it. Change it now? Isn't that just courting death?! He's just asking for trouble!

Now that her "green tea, white lotus" persona is ruined, changing her previous hobbies and interests would be like flirting with death. She's not as shrewd as the female lead, so she weakly says, "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't understand these things~"

The next morning, after the prime minister returned from court, he brought the man and two women to the palace to attend a banquet.

Isn't this a dinner party? What's the meaning of you going this morning?!

Chen Sheng was extremely unwilling, but he agreed on the surface. After all, he was caught between a rock and a hard place!

Upon entering the palace, Chen Sheng spotted Xu Nuo from afar, frantically trying to manage the guests. Sure enough, that's just her nature. She's better suited for fighting on the battlefield, not for this place of smiles hiding daggers and sweet words concealing treachery—it's a deep, treacherous place!

Before the banquet, Prime Minister Chen would go to the court ministers to chat about politics and get closer to them, while Ye Cangming would go fishing alone in the woods... no, I mean, to the pond. There, he would run into the Fifth Prince, who was out for a stroll. The two would fall in love at first sight. On the way back, he would encounter his beloved who had fainted on the ground. Then came the action scene that was not suitable for viewers under 30.

Chen Sheng also has a mission tonight. What she needs to do is knock out Bai Yueguang and drag her to the road that Ye Cangming will pass by.

The original text reads as follows:

The audacious Miss Chen, intending to force herself on the pure and untainted beauty, the fourth prince Xu You, lured him to a quiet, dark palace alley, where she mercilessly trampled on him and made him cry. Xu You was powerless to resist and fainted from the pain.

After meeting Xu Chen, on his way back to the banquet, Chen Han caught a glimpse of a grayish-white figure in a corner. Unable to contain his curiosity, he quickly walked over to take a look and discovered that it was none other than the white moonlight of his heart that he had been longing for day and night!

He, who should have been spotless, was now in a sorry state. Xu You was only covered by a tattered cloth, and bruises were piled up on his fair, lean, and well-built body. His face was flushed, clearly from the recent lovemaking. There was also some unidentified white liquid beside him.

Chen Han vowed to tear the woman who ruined his reputation to pieces!

(Ahem, the above is the original text!)

Chen Sheng's lips twitched after reading it. This author's writing was utterly terrible! "Untainted by a speck of dust!" Was that all there was to it? And her description of Chen Sheng as "bold and audacious" plus "lewd"... Utterly speechless!

Whew, that feels so good...

Chen Sheng inwardly cursed. She believed that if she ever returned to her original world, she would definitely be the biggest hater of this book! Uh... no, that doesn't seem right either, she'd be the most loyal fan of the white moonlight!

Chen Sheng: Forgive me for the mess I've made here... Um... Can I go back?

Seeing that Chen Han wasn't sitting next door, Chen Sheng understood and asked, "Li Mo, what time is it now?"

Li Mo replied, "It's the hour of You (5-7 PM)."

"Yes, this is the perfect time." Chen Sheng smiled perfunctorily and said to Li Mo, "I'm going to clear my head. Don't follow me. Just wait here for me to come back."

Li Mo nodded knowingly and obediently stood still without following.

Great! Let's go and act along! If we follow the original pattern, we won't have to worry about him not taking the bait!

As I thought about it, a perfect plan came to mind.

The first step: using beauty to seduce.

“Konnichi wa, handsome man~” Upon seeing Xu You from afar, Chen Sheng ran over to him, then stopped a few steps away. With a cat-like gait, she gently raised the corners of her lips and said softly.

"Uh... Miss Chen, what did you just say... Oh... lol... Sang?"

Upon seeing that it was Chen Sheng, Xu You's maidservant, puzzled, asked, "Miss Chen, are you drunk?"

Chen Sheng ignored him and focused on watching Xu You's changing expressions, but the result disappointed her.

The boy frowned slightly, his expression showing a hint of displeasure, but it was only a "slight" hint; he didn't make any further moves.

"Hmm? Does the Fourth Prince have some free time? I would like to invite you to enjoy the moon and have a chat," Chen Sheng said, believing himself to be very courteous.

Xu You was somewhat reluctant to do this, but remembering his father's instructions, his mind was in turmoil, and in the end he still forced himself to agree, "Hmm..."

"Master, shall I go with you?" the young man pleaded.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng glanced at Xu You's expression and quickly refused, "No, no, no, let's forget it. You've been with him all day, you must be tired. Go and rest, I'll take care of you."

Xu You's little scheme was written all over his face just now. He clearly didn't trust her character. Now he looked at her like she was a scoundrel, so wary. Tsk tsk tsk, he looked like an innocent young man who had been tricked and suffered a great loss. So guarded, so innocent~ Chen Sheng pondered.

"I'm just going to admire the moon with Miss Chen. You can stay here and wait for me to come back. You don't need to come with me," Xu You said softly, a forced smile on her face.

However, Chen Sheng was someone who didn't think too much and only followed the original plot. So, in a detail-oriented way, she took a cup of tea from the table and handed it to Xu You, saying the original owner's line: "Fourth Prince, have some tea to moisten your throat."

"Master!" The man reacted strongly, shouting in surprise.

But it was too late; Xu You had already finished drinking. She turned to look at the excited young man and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Master, please be careful on the road," the man said dismissively.

Chen Sheng saw everything, but her mind wasn't in the mood to think. She was thinking, so much time has been wasted already, she wondered if Chen Han had finished meeting with his love interest. If he had, and hadn't seen his white moonlight on the way back, wouldn't that change the plot? Then… how would she survive to the end of the book?

"Xu You... Fourth Prince, let's hurry up, or the moon won't be full later!" Chen Sheng pulled Xu You and walked quickly towards the palace alley described in the original text.
