Yunhai City is home to four prestigious families. Back then, the Wang and Xu families had equal influence, with the Wangs perhaps even holding the upper hand. Wang Yuhang’s mother made the decision for him and married him off to Su Yue, a woman who had once helped the Wang family. But Wang Yuhang deeply resented his mother’s domineering ways, and left the country in a fit of anger. When he returned five years later, he only learned what he had lost after their marriage had ended: the most precious person in his life. One night, while drunk, Su Yue made advances on Xu Tianyu, a Buddhist devotee rumored to shun women. From then on, their lives became intertwined. What she saw as a drunken indiscretion, he had been plotting for a long time!
