He Xuechu met Ye Shaozhen at the lowest point in her life.
By then, her boyfriend had married her best friend, leaving her with no more use to him, and she was struggling to get by in the He family.
He was blind and an illegitimate son, facing a ruthless stepmother and an ambitious younger brother. He was in just as difficult a position as she was.
He Xuechu had always thought their marriage was a transaction, two people in the same predicament comforting one another.
Only when the truth came out did she learn that Ye Shaozhen’s blindness was an act, and his struggles were nothing but an illusion. He had long since become one of the most powerful men in the city.
As for his intentions toward her, he was like the Big Bad Wolf luring Little Red Riding Hood. From the very beginning, his goal had been to marry her and bring her home.
