She is a mediocre legitimate daughter in the eyes of the world, and she is also a returning lone phoenix hiding her edge in her sheath.
Chu Qingci was the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, but because her biological mother died young and her stepmother took charge of the family, she was known as "mediocre in talent and appearance" among the noble girls in the capital. A document canceling the engagement pushed her into the whirlpool of public opinion; a marriage decree also betrothed her to the rumored disabled and disfigured King Rongxuan of Jing'an who was destined to defeat the princess. Everyone lamented her ill-fated fate, falling from the clouds into the quagmire.
However, they don't know that this weak body carries a sober soul that has gone through wind and rain and understands the world.
Faced with her stepmother's mean calculations and her sisters' hypocrisy and frame-up, she remained calm and acted step by step. Seize the dowry, clean up the family, overcome strength with softness, and secure victory in the turbulent house fight. All she wanted was peace and quiet for the rest of her life.
When the mask of mediocrity is lifted layer by layer, what kind of magnificence will be revealed to the world?
He is the fallen God of War in the past and the dormant King of the Night.
King Rongxuan of Jingan, who was once astonishingly talented and accomplished in battle, was reduced to a "waste" trapped in a wheelchair due to serious injuries. He seems to be gentle and indifferent, but in fact he is hidden in the mountains and valleys, secretly controlling the wind and clouds.
A marriage that has its own thoughts, binds two souls despised by the world together. He watched with cold eyes, watching how she dealt with the inner house; she took it indifferently, watching how he arranged the arrangement in the court.
When pretense meets pretense, and the temptation touches the true heart, can they uncover each other's deepest secrets while warming each other up, and work together to stir up the storm in the capital?
