[Beautiful, gentle, and strong-willed sister-in-law vs. unhinged, calculating young marquis who plays the pig to eat the tiger]
Su Li is the second daughter of the Prime Minister’s household. She was betrothed as a child to Jiang Zhuo, the eldest son of the Jiang family, but he has never loved her and only married her out of necessity.
Su Li is drugged at a palace banquet and accidentally spends a wild night with Jiang Yan, the Jiang family’s second son. From then on, the two are caught in a fierce push and pull.
At first, Jiang Yan wants Su Li physically, not emotionally. But when Su Li divorces Jiang Zhuo, the young marquis can no longer sit still...
After divorcing Jiang Zhuo, Su Li unexpectedly finds herself pregnant with the young marquis’s child. With no other choice, she flees to Lin’an to hide while carrying the baby...
When Jiang Yan returns victorious from the border, he discovers that someone has framed the Prime Minister’s household and accused them of treason. He uses his military achievements to obtain an imperial decree granting him a marriage, then rushes off in pursuit of Su Li.
He searches all over Lin’an for news of her. With the villagers’ help, he finds a small wooden hut.
Su Li is standing outside, watching the snow. The man behind her drapes a fox-fur cloak over her shoulders. Seeing this scene from his carriage, Jiang Yan immediately dismounts and strides over in a fury, grabbing Su Li and demanding coldly,
“What? Now that you’ve divorced my older brother, you can’t wait to sneak off and meet some other man, sister-in-law...?”
Su Li stands her ground in the face of his accusation. “Young Marquis, please show some self-respect. You and I are over. Who I choose to be with is my own business...”
As soon as she finishes speaking, he grips her chin. The possessiveness in his eyes seems ready to devour her.
“I never said we were over. You can forget about getting away from me...”
