Xie Tingzhou, the second son of the Marquis of Yongchang, was the most dandy in the capital, and no one wanted to marry him.
Li Chongwen, a newly discovered beauty, has a promising future and is being pursued by many girls.
The two sisters of the Shen family, the eldest daughter is knowledgeable and gentle, and the second daughter is as beautiful as a pearl.
During the storm, my sister Shen Ruzhu knelt down and begged her father: "My sister and Li Lang are in love, and my daughter is willing to marry into the Hou Mansion on her behalf."
Everyone in the house praised her for her deep love and righteousness.
Only Shen Ruzhu, who had returned from rebirth, knew that Li Chongwen would become a very popular minister in the future, while Xie Tingzhou was just a short-lived ghost whose family was ruined.
• Shen Zhiyi put on her wedding dress and stepped into the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Faced with her husband's indifference, her mother-in-law's scrutiny, and the undercurrents in her family, she dealt with it calmly: taking care of the abandoned yard, opening up the shop, and living a prosperous life.
But, why is it that the rumored dandy husband who is a cockfighting lackey often has secret conversations in his study late at night?
Why does the Hou Mansion, which seems to be on the verge of collapse, always quietly resolve every crisis?
• Later, Li Chongwen rose through the ranks step by step and became as beautiful as a pearl, a phoenix and a crown of flowers, but he stayed alone in his empty room every night. He heard that his sister was doted on by that dandy husband.
Later, when the turmoil over the heirloom arose and the Hou Mansion was in danger, everyone lamented that Shen Zhiyi's life was miserable.
But she saw the dandy husband taking off his disguise, wearing a python robe and jade belt, turning the tide on the golden palace, turning his head and gently holding her hand: "Madam, is this imperial crown and uniform satisfactory?"
Only then did Shen Zhiyi realize that this unexpected "surrogate marriage" had accidentally entered his beautiful chess game.
And when he laid this dragnet, he originally just wanted to... Protect her from a smooth life.
