"Young master, are you awake?"

Qi Yan opened his eyes, and suddenly a voice of surprise rang in his ears.

As Qiyin gazed upon the carved wooden bed panels, a loud explosion erupted in his mind, followed by a piercing pain that caused him to furrow his brows and take a deep breath of cold air.

[Host, please receive the background information for this mission.]

This is a fictional time-travel novel. The protagonist, He Hui, travels to the body of an unfavored legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister. A few days ago, the Emperor issued an edict for the Prime Minister's daughter to marry General Pu Yangzheng. However, all of Pu Yangzheng's previous wives have died within a month of marriage, giving rise to rumors of a curse.

The prime minister favored his illegitimate daughter, but unable to withstand the daughter's plea, he decided to throw his legitimate daughter, He Hui, into a den of tigers.

However, the smart and wise Hua Hui, who came from the time-travel, attracted the upright and righteous Pu Yangzheng with her confidence and arrogance. She also warmed the icy coldness in his heart, which he had acquired from bloody battles on the battlefield. After experiencing a fierce battle against powerful enemies, the two of them retired to a secluded valley and lived a carefree life.

In this particular role, Qi Yan played the part of the enigmatic and stunningly beautiful male lead, who is the secret mastermind behind the largest brothel in the capital city.

Now is the time when the Emperor has just issued an edict for the Prime Minister to marry off his daughter. The male and female leads have not yet met, and he is simply focusing on being the hidden boss behind the scenes.

Qiyán's eyes flickered slightly, just like always, as he conjured a mesmerizing smile that bewitched the onlookers, leaving the young attendant who was about to help him with his grooming in a daze.

"What are you thinking, you silly melon?" She leaned over and snatched the warm and damp handkerchief from his hand. "Tell me, is there any big order in the building recently?"

The little servant suddenly lowered his head, blushing, and humbly said, "Ah, n-nothing, just an ordinary guest..."

"Hmm?" The lazy and raised tone was enchanting, making one's mind tremble with excitement. "Really?"

"Tru--" Before Xiao Shi could finish speaking, he suddenly seemed to recall something: "Ah, right! The General's residence sent a message a few days ago, requesting the presence of the songstress from our building to entertain at the General's residence tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" she absentmindedly wiped her face, as delicate as a peeled egg: "Have you chosen the right person? Don't make any mistakes."

"No, it won't happen. This time it's still Sister Ningyuan who will go."

"The General's Manor is unlike any other..." There was a seriousness in Qi Yan's voice as he waved his hand, dismissing the young servant. "Go and relay the message. Tomorrow, I will go together."

"...Yes."

It was the first time that the General's Mansion had received a singing girl.

The beautiful voice lingers and captivates like a soaring kite, as colorful silk dances and embraces the mercy of the river.

In the capital city, there was no one who did not know about the famous Twin Beauties in the Hehuan Tower. The melodious voice of Miss Ningyuan captivated anyone who heard it, while the graceful dance of Miss Lianchuan surpassed all that came before her. In short, the beauty of every corner of the Hehuan Tower was indescribable, and those who frequently visited could never tire of speaking about it.

The general stationed at the border, his mansion in the capital city is like an empty house. After this great victory, it is only natural to hold a banquet upon returning to the imperial court. The general must have never heard of Ningyuan before, and it seems that this time the singer invited is probably recommended by someone else.

Sitting inside Nianyuan's sedan, Qi Yan played with the white jade ring in his hand, his face revealing a vague, half-smiling expression.

"Why is the Young Master so pleased?" Ning Yuan poured a cup of warm tea and passed it over. After he took it, she gently kneaded his shoulders.

"Oh? How did this young master please your heart?"

"Young Master, even if you don't say it, Nianyuan can tell." Jiaochi said coquettishly as she raised her head and looked at Qi Yan with blush on her face.

The man in front of me is incredibly beautiful, so beautiful that it takes my breath away.

If he were a woman... then there would no longer be any beautiful women in the world.

A layer of infatuation covered Nianyuan's face, and the strength with which her fingers pressed on the shoulders became increasingly gentle.

And in the next second, Qi Yan brushed away her hand.
