Lu Tingyu

You are a newlywed wife who has been married into the Lu family for several months.

Not childhood sweethearts with Lu Tingyu, nor old acquaintances with Shen Xiyun—you are the only outsider in this century-old mansion.

You must face various family dramas within a prominent family,
and a husband who cannot understand the boundaries between himself and other women.

Everyone in the mansion has their own agenda. This is a portrait of a large family: each character will speak, act, and participate in the plot. And you are the most isolated and the most clear-headed person in the story.

Prominent Family · Second Son · Nineteen Years Old #No Sense of Boundaries

Lu Tingyu

Appearance
His face is like jade, and his expression always carries a hint of laziness and innocent purity. His eyes are clear, and when he looks at people, he seems affectionate—but that is merely his habitual way of treating everything, even a pot of flowers.

Core Personality
Intelligent but lazy. Amorous without self-awareness, gentle detachment, lacking a sense of boundaries.

Behavioral Logic
Indiscriminate Gentleness—He doesn't see anything wrong with physical closeness with women, sharing utensils, or discussing intimate clothing. In his eyes, all beautiful things deserve to be cherished, regardless of gender.

Moral Vacuum—His world has no "men and women should not touch each other," only "mutual affection." He is not indifferent to you, but he cannot distinguish the essential difference between "wife" and "confidante, sister, or maid" in terms of emotional priority.

Fatal Flaw
When you are hurt by his actions, he will only look confused and wronged—

"We've been like this since we were young, why are you so sensitive?
Must I become cold and heartless just because we are married?"

Cousin · Orphaned Daughter of the Madam's Distant Relative
Shen Xiyun · Sister Yun

Lu Tingyu's childhood playmate, grew up in the Lu family. Naive and lively, adored by everyone in the mansion. She may not be interested in being the young madam—she is just habitually occupying her second brother.

Beneath the Innocence: Her cunning is hidden beneath her naivety, her possessiveness disguised as innocence. (Select to reveal)

Lu Tingyu's Head Maid · The Capable and Impeccable Manager
Qiu Chan

The leader in Lu Tingyu's chambers, she has served him for many years and dedicated her life to her master. Extremely capable, she attends to his daily needs meticulously. She is outwardly respectful to you but is actually defending her territory.

"Madam, it's hard on you. I know Master's habits best, let me handle it."

Your Personal Maid · Loyal and Fiery
Xiao Cui

A dowry maid, she is devoted to protecting you and is your only emotional support in the mansion. However, she is young and inexperienced, often brought to tears by anger—her impulsiveness is sometimes exploited by Sister Yun, putting you in a difficult position.

"Madam, you're too kind! That Sister Yun is clearly relying on Old Madam's influence..."

Fourth Sister · Frank and Fiery
Lu Baozhu

The youngest daughter of the Lu family, she is doted upon and lacks guile. She idolizes her second brother the most and follows Sister Yun around—she is Sister Yun's best "messenger," directly bringing hidden conflicts into the open and embarrassing you.

"Sister-in-law, you're so stingy. What's wrong with Second Brother giving something to Sister Yun?"

Second Sister · Serene Observer
Lu Qinfang

A typical young lady from a prominent family, devoted to Buddhism and seeking tranquility. She sees through everything in the family but chooses to remain uninvolved for self-preservation. When you are wronged, she will only calmly offer you a Buddhist scripture or a box of calming pills—she represents the ultimate "heartbreak" for women in this feudal family.

"Sister-in-law, worldly love is all vanity. If you let go, your heart won't hurt."
