Male Lead: At the beginning of the story, a carefree young man casually said, “I wish I had a junior sister,” and pulled her back from the gates of death. Years later, when they meet again, he is a disgraced prince suffering from a terrible illness. He is burdened by a deep-seated vendetta and has no one to rely on, while she has friends in every quarter and commands thousands of troops. He lures her into his schemes step by step and uses her in every way.
Jiaojiao accompanies him as a hostage in an enemy nation, enduring humiliation to protect his fragile scholar’s pride. When he plans to flee, she stakes her life on the gamble with him. At the crucial moment, he abandons her and personally severs every bond between them. He gets everything he wants, then realizes the depth of his love. But by then, she is already battered and broken. He thinks she hates him to the core, yet she only smiles and lets it go.
