[Forced Marriage + A Little Political Intrigue + A Little Palace Intrigue + Bewitching Beauty + Cold-Blooded, Ruthless Young General + Devoted to Each Other]
PS: The male lead is a bad boy who deliberately teases and seduces the female lead, luring the lovely beauty into his trap~
She is Su Xinghe, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War and the precious young lady of the Su family.
The apple of the Su family’s eye, her adoptive brother Su Huai is the seventh prince of the current dynasty. He seems refined and courteous, but is actually ruthless through and through, a classic scheming second male lead.
*
He is Pei Zhiyu, a dashing young general with a string of military victories.
They say he is decisive and merciless. A brave warrior, to be sure, but a fearsome one!
The Su and Pei families have been close for generations, and the two were betrothed as children. But she fell for Su Huai, her father’s adopted son, and refused to marry the young general she’d grown up with.
*
“My lady, today is our wedding day. Are you trying to run away?” The man fixed her with a cold gaze edged with menace. She was too afraid to meet his eyes.
“My lady! You’re not getting out of this marriage!”
She tried to escape the general’s residence every day, but each time he caught her and brought her back!
At last, one day, he could take no more. Seething with anger, he swept her up and flung her onto the bed. He began tearing her clothes away, bit by bit. “Su Xinghe! Try running again, and I’ll make you mine right here and now!”
*
The circumstances surrounding Su Xinghe’s mother’s death bind the two together. Later, they help each other achieve their goals, and the male lead rises through the ranks. They gradually fall for each other, and Su Xinghe realizes that she had long since fallen for the young general who says one thing and means another, seeming cold and merciless on the outside but warm-hearted underneath.
