Su Qing, a gentle civil servant from Jiangnan, turned the world upside down overnight. The twin brother Wei Lin died in battle, leaving no trace of his body. The family was also embroiled in suspicions of collaborating with the enemy and faced annihilation. The only way to survive is for him to cut off his career, put on his brother's mask, and marry into the strict general's mansion as a "widow".
What he has to face is Wei Heng, a young general who was once as powerful as his brother. The man was as violent as fire, humiliating and tempting him to the fullest. Su Qing is walking on thin ice, struggling to survive in lies.
But why did those eyes filled with hatred gradually become filled with inquiry, pity, and unbearable passionate affection? In the torture of day and night, in the whirlpool of conspiracy and murderous intentions, the two lonely souls could not help but get closer to each other.
Until the day the truth comes out...
Su Qing held the letter of divorce in her hand, knelt in front of the palace gate dressed in plain clothes, and bore all the guilt with her flesh and blood.
"Wei Heng, I love you as a brother, and I will die for you in my name."
"I will be pure in this life, and in the next life... I will only be your Su Qing."
