Synopsis:
Shen Yunji, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, is unloved by her father and despised by her stepmother. On her wedding night, her fiancé Cai Zhuo kills her elder brother and younger brother, then disfigures her. She dies beneath a rain of arrows.
Reborn two years earlier, she is ready to rise from the ashes when Xie Yuanxiu, the notorious Prince of Sheng, arrives at her door with a marriage contract and asks for her hand.
She assumes it is merely a marriage of convenience, but he is gentle, perceptive, and thoughtful in every way. The Prince of Huaiqing, whom everyone says kills without batting an eye, protects her so fiercely that he seems to have gone mad.
Xie Yuanxiu: “Not even a single strand of her hair is to be harmed!”
Shen Yunji: “I think I’m fine.”
Xie Yuanxiu: “You’ve cut your hand. Call the imperial physicians for a consultation!”
Shen Yunji: “Hurry up, then. If they don’t get here soon, it’ll have healed.”
Xie Yuanxiu: “Your shoes are dirty. I’ll clean them for you.”
Shen Yunji: “Who said he was cold and aloof?”
Everyone: “...”
From then on, the bright moon shone overhead, and a hundred years felt like a single day, as beautiful as this morning.
