Duke Yan's Pampered Concubine

Copywriting: A scheming, feigning innocence, soft-hearted woman with hidden manipulative tendencies vs. an upright, dignified, yet easily deceived Duke.

(1) Because Duke Yan was skilled and could protect her life, Jasmine, in order to survive and live better, schemed to make him take her as a concubine. She had thought it all through: live a humble life in the back courtyard, have a stable home, and enough food. That would be sufficient.

But later, she changed. She didn't know how anyone in this world could be so good to her, so good that Jasmine wanted to possess him all to herself.

"In the future, you don't have to work like a beast of burden." "Since you, Yi Niang, entered first, this set of head ornaments naturally belongs to you." "Lord didn't know Yi Niang was so stubborn; I'll call you 'Stubborn Child' from now on, how about it?" "Don't be afraid, Stubborn Child, Lord is here."

The Luo family girl wants to marry in? Sorry, not possible now. The Emperor bestows a marriage? Don't even think about it. One by one, they bully her Lord because he's naive and easily tricked? Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

(2) It was well known throughout the Great Qi Dynasty that Duke Yan, Yan Ke, was as his name suggested: strict, serious, and disciplined from childhood. Until Duke Yan returned triumphant from victory, bringing back a concubine!

At that time, his family was preparing to arrange a marriage for him, and the young lady was already at the Duke's mansion, preparing a welcoming banquet for him. Facing relatives and the young lady, Duke Yan calmly said, "She's just a concubine."

Everyone believed him until that malicious concubine was later exposed, and the Duke surprisingly still protected her. Only then did everyone realize that was she just a concubine? She was clearly a pampered concubine!

Initially, Yan Ke truly only regarded Jasmine as a dispensable concubine. When his concubine asked him, "Why is Lord so good to this servant?" Duke Yan was puzzled, "Am I very good to you?"

Duke Yan didn't feel he was particularly good to his concubine; it was merely his duty since a woman was with him. But who could tell him why, even though his concubine was not upright, not sincere, and even committed wrongdoing, he still wanted to protect her?

Before meeting Jasmine, Duke Yan thought: Hmph, I won't be as weak as that person in the high position! The later Duke Yan finally mustered the courage to humbly seek advice from the Emperor.

Everyone in the Duke's mansion: "Yi Niang's schemes are even more numerous than a hornet's nest!" Duke Yan (with an innocent face): "Where? Why haven't I seen them?"

Note: Daily life + 'house-fighting' genre, female competition (proceed with caution). The female lead is a native of the world, not a "great female lead" type; her thinking is not "evolved." She is a ruthless character; kindness is reserved only for those she likes. As for those she dislikes, she will use means to make them understand.

There is no deep-seated hatred between the male and female leads. They develop feelings for each other from the beginning. The male lead has a significant role, but his attribute is that of a background board—he only pampers her. This is a super-sweet little story.
