A dissolute, worthless playboy born of a concubine vs. a beautiful, vengeful legitimate daughter.
A vicious dog versus a mad dog.
When northern barbarians invaded, Shen Wancai, the richest man in Guancheng, colluded with the enemy. Guancheng fell, tens of thousands were slaughtered, and the Liang Kingdom was forced to cede territory and sue for peace. To save her family and prove the Shen family's innocence, Shen Qiaonan, the Shen family's eldest legitimate daughter, became a fallen dog whom everyone in the capital could kick while she was down. Liu Huaichuan arrived at last. He didn't care that she was a frail woman, and wouldn't let anyone else lay a hand on her. He personally trampled Shen Qiaonan beneath his feet, nearly killing her. But who could have guessed that this woman, barely clinging to life, would turn around and bite him, leaving him drenched in blood?
“What is fate? It's really just this: when you have countless choices, you are forced to choose the one you want least!”
“Since neither of us can face ourselves, let me guard this kingdom for you, and give you a quiet corner of the world in return!”
