[The fallen, meek-looking legitimate daughter of a marquis's household x the ruthless, scheming regent]
Everyone in the capital knows Shen Wanzhao is the prince's caged songbird.
But only Shen Wanzhao knows that the prince has never touched her. He loves her younger sister, Shen Mengqing, and Shen Wanzhao is merely a beauty he uses to ensnare the regent.
The first time Shen Wanzhao is sent to the regent's bed, the cool, aloof man calls her “Zhaozhao.”
“Zhaozhao, kiss me.”
“Zhaozhao, you're still a novice at seducing people.”
“Zhaozhao, didn't the prince teach you?”
Terrified, Shen Wanzhao wants to run.
She has heard that the beauties sent to the regent's household are all turned into human-skin lanterns.
After being controlled by the plot and working for the male and female leads for over a decade, Shen Wanzhao looks at the death flags marked for her supporting character and makes a decision that could get her killed.
She's going to seduce the regent just once.
But after a few reckless attempts, kissing the regent and putting her arms around his waist, she finds herself with her hands shackled and spending more and more nights in his bed.
Wait. Why am I still alive?
Wasn't he supposed to love the heroine and become her devoted dog?
Did he just say he'd make me die in bed if I left him?
No way!

Xiao Shixu, the regent, loves taking things from the crown prince: treasures, military power, even women.
When he sees Shen Wanzhao struggling to untie her sash on his bed, on the verge of tears, she clearly loves the crown prince yet forces herself to say she loves him and will warm his bed and his body,
he becomes a little interested.
Interested in taking her by force.
He desperately wants to know: when they become closer in body and soul, when he claims her, takes possession of her heart, and shares her bed,
will the words slipping through Shen Wanzhao's lips be a plea for the crown prince to save her,
or a plea for Xiao Shixu to love her properly?
*Two stubborn souls fall in love: one tempts, then falls; both are devoted to each other, with a pregnancy and a runaway.*
