Was the forced marriage a coincidence, or was there something more behind it?
Everyone thought that a lowly merchant's daughter marrying Prince Li as his concubine was like winning the greatest prize imaginable.
But for Jiang Hanqiu, meeting Shen Jingqing was like falling into a nightmare she could never wake from.
At first, she blamed all of Prince Li's torments on his cruelty, brutality, and contempt for the law.
He was just a lawless, useless pretty boy, good for neither books nor fighting. One day, she would get her revenge!
But gradually, she discovered that Prince Li was only pretending! In truth, he was not only a man of both letters and arms, but also cunning and treacherous!
To protect her family, Jiang Hanqiu decided to uncover the secret behind all these suspicions.
But when she finally learned the truth, she could only think that Shen Jingqing really was a clueless prince!
Shen Jingqing had never known why he tormented Jiang Hanqiu, but once he understood his feelings, he began to regret it.
He had never believed he could fall for Jiang Hanqiu, but his pounding heart was the strongest proof.
They loved each other but could not be together, struggling in vain to escape this tangled web.
Just when Jiang Hanqiu thought life would always be this way, Prince Li let her go. Though she had her doubts, feelings for him took root in her heart.
Then she met Zou Chuke, heir to the Duke of Zou.
With his help, Jiang Hanqiu saw through the fog and gradually unraveled the mystery.
When it was all over, Jiang Hanqiu decided to put aside her romance with Prince Li and roam the world with Zou Chuke.
