A pure, alluring white lotus who seems to flirt with everyone but is actually a clear-headed career-driven heroine vs. a gentle, refined man who is secretly a wolf in sheep's clothing, and seems clear-headed but is actually a lovesick hero. Later, he will have to pursue her desperately to win her back. Happy ending.
Xu Qingyun's birth mother was once a celebrated courtesan who caused a sensation in the capital. By chance, she became involved with Xu Qingyun's father and married him as a concubine. After enjoying his favor for a time, she became someone everyone could trample on.
She died after giving birth to Xu Qingyun, leaving her to face the wolves of the Xu household alone. When Qingyun came of age, her beauty was peerless, and her legitimate stepmother, Madam Sheng, could no longer tolerate her. She even planned to take the opportunity to send her to the old man of the Chen family.
Yunsheng was a renowned, astonishingly handsome gentleman in the capital, pure as jade from the Heavenly Mountains, with a gentle and upright disposition.
To avoid being handed over to the old man of the Chen family and escape her cage, the commoner-born Xu Qingyun needed someone to rely on and had to climb higher. She thought of this gentleman who seemed like an immortal from the heavens, and her resolve grew stronger.
Beneath the clear, cold moonlight, Xu Qingyun knelt before the young man in white, one fragrant shoulder exposed, her round almond eyes full of innocence.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "A Yun is willing to offer herself to you, my lord. I ask only for your protection."
After one night of passion, having obtained what she wanted, Xu Qingyun began to think about becoming his principal wife. She flirted here and there, tricking the young masters of various noble families into falling for her.
But she miscalculated. This gentleman used one scheme after another, actually wanting to cage her like a little bird.
