My answer may not be completely in line with the plot you described. According to the information you provided, I understand that this is a novel where the female lead caught the male lead for the first time and whipped him. Then, the male lead fell in love with the female lead. However, I have never heard of Zuo Qingwen's novel, so I am not sure if the plot of this novel meets your requirements. If you can provide more information, I will try my best to answer your questions.
