She had watched him build his grand mansion, watched him entertain his guests, and had to live long enough to see it all come crashing down, or she would never rest in peace. He had destroyed everything she had.
Apart from her strikingly wholesome beauty, Yan Qiong was an ordinary woman from the north. She followed the usual path of studying, working, marrying, and having a child in her hometown. The one unusual thing about her life was her husband: a southerner who had left home to study elsewhere. Born in the south, he later moved to the capital, earned his master’s and doctoral degrees, studied abroad, then returned to teach at his alma mater. He was an exceptionally accomplished professor of classical literature.
Yan Qiong’s quiet life was shattered by a family visit after she gave birth. By chance, she stumbled into a “remarkable” world that had nothing to do with her and met a powerful man who appeared refined and dignified but was, in truth, violent and tyrannical. He deceived and manipulated her time and again, luring her step by step into a trap until she was battered and bruised, with no one to turn to.
For the safety of her husband and young child, she had no choice but to keep dealing with him endlessly. The man was even her husband’s “elder brother.” Step by step, she struggled through it all, shifting between compromise and resistance. She was forced to rethink the world she thought she knew, and came to understand what it meant for someone to have absolute power, to turn the clouds with one hand and the rain with the other…
She had given everything she had. Could this towering edifice still be brought down?
