Word has it that Baili Qigu married a sickly woman, gentle and easy for anyone to manipulate.
Word has it that the eldest daughter of the Shi family was willing to become a pretty ornament to save her family, confined at Qiyun Waterfront.
But no one knew that this "ailing beauty" had once been someone who could turn the world upside down with a wave of her hand.
Their marriage contract was meant to serve their mutual needs, with neither interfering in the other's affairs.
Then the Shi family's collateral branch made its move, and infighting within the Baili family escalated. Only then did she slowly raise her eyes, the chill in them no less fierce than the frozen wastes.
"You want to come after my Shi family? You want to destroy my marriage contract?"
"Ask me first if I'll allow it."
When the mask of docility shattered and the blade she had kept hidden was drawn, Baili Qigu finally realized that the woman he had brought home was no fragile piece of glass. She was a raging fire capable of consuming everything.
