Because the matriarch is jealous, none of the general’s concubines are allowed to have sons. To stay alive, Xing Zhao is raised as the general’s fifth legitimate daughter from the moment he is born.
Dressing as a girl can protect Xing Zhao for a while, but not for the rest of his life, so he and his mother plan to fake their deaths and escape the general’s residence. They never expected Xing Hui to disrupt their plan.
Xing Hui falls in love with Xing Zhao at first sight, but Xing Zhao could never return his feelings.
His love turns to hate, and Xing Hui personally sends Xing Zhao down the road to a proxy marriage, thinking that since the other groom is the violent and unpredictable Prince Mingyou, Xing Zhao will come begging him for help...
The matriarch threatens Xing Zhao with his mother’s life to force him to go through with the marriage. Prince Mingyou, Leng Jin, is always trying to kiss and cuddle Xing Zhao, flying into jealous rages at the slightest provocation. The prince’s concubines plot against and frame Xing Zhao behind his back, while Xing Hui sits back and watches them fight...
All of this nearly drives Xing Zhao mad, but he grits his teeth and holds on, waiting for the day he and his mother can be reunited.
But in the end, all he gets is a cold corpse.
With nothing left to hope for or fear, Xing Zhao abandons his old habit of enduring humiliation. He gives Prince Mingyou as good as he gets, fights back when needed, keeps the concubines in the rear courtyard firmly in line, and even kills the murderer with his own hands.
Later, Xing Zhao’s identity is exposed, and Leng Jin coldly and ruthlessly throws him into a deserted courtyard in the prince’s residence.
In the end, a fire burns the place to the ground. Nothing is left, including him.
When they meet again, Xing Zhao is fast asleep in the arms of the Demon Cult leader, and their negotiations immediately turn into a fight.
Leng Jin pulls him into his arms again, only to hear him say disdainfully, “Does Prince Mingyou have a habit of stealing other people’s lovers?”
A violent, cold-hearted pursuer who regrets it and tries to win him back x a cross-dressing bottom who endures humiliation before turning dark
