In the eyes of the nobles, Wen Wanqing, the concubine of a merchant, was just a plaything that could be trampled on at will, until she met Pei Jinyan, the concubine of Ningyuan Hou - the jade-like young master who held an umbrella for her in the rain, smiled gently and handed over a handkerchief.
She saw through the calculation under his gentle skin: he needed her wealth to help him climb to a high position in the power struggle.
He admired the sharpness behind her weak appearance: she longed for the title of young lady of the Marquis House, which would provide her with shelter in the ups and downs of the business world.
A marriage that started with exploitation, two hearts with different intentions.
He took her to attend noble banquets, and she helped him open up business routes and official circles;
He promised her in public that his love was as deep as the sea, but she secretly remembered every betrayal he made.
On the wedding night with the red candles shining brightly, he pinched her chin and sneered: "Madam, you are very clever."
She stroked the jade pendant around his waist and chuckled: "Not as good as my husband in acting."
When the false warmth is torn apart——
She discovered that he had poisoned his father, and he was shocked to find that she had already transferred all the family property.
On the bloody night of the palace change, she threw out a life-and-death contract: "Save you? Yes. I want you to be my puppet for the rest of your life."
"Wen Wanqing, have you ever loved me?"
"Pei Jinyan, are you worthy of asking this question?"
