Imprisoned Marriage in Western Hunan

At nineteen, Aqiao was sent against her will by her family to an ancient, isolated courtyard in the name of bringing good fortune to a sick man. Beneath her red bridal veil, she couldn't see her groom's face. She only heard the heavy bolt slide shut. From then on, freedom became a distant dream.

In this eerie courtyard, she must face not only a cold-hearted husband and a strange mother-in-law, but also the ever-present rules and rumors. Late at night, the sound of footsteps and faint sobbing from outside fill her with dread.

Unwilling to remain imprisoned, Aqiao begins watching in secret and searching for the truth. When she uncovers the courtyard's secrets and her husband's hidden identity, she finally understands that this marriage is not just a cage, but a carefully laid plot.

She will escape. She will be free. And she will uncover the shocking secret hidden beneath the mists of western Hunan.
