[Sweet and resilient beauty vs. cold, obsessive powerful minister]
After one night together, Chu Nian became pregnant with the child of Jing Xuan, the current prime minister.
He promised her a future, so she gave up her chance to buy her freedom and waited, longing for him to marry her.
On their wedding day, she wore a phoenix crown and bridal robes, only to discover she had been tricked into the household as a concubine.
There was already another woman in the position of principal wife.
She confronted Jing Xuan, but he said, “Chu Nian, I did make you a promise. But you should know where the boundaries of that promise lie. Given your background, you could never become the principal wife of the Jing household.”
She wanted to leave, but her belly grew bigger by the day.
With a child on the way, Jing Xuan was certain she could not leave. He treated her with alternating warmth and indifference, but once her heart had finally gone cold, she left in silence.
On the road out of the capital, she was stopped. Holding their child, the man pleaded, “Niannian, you’re the only one who can be the principal wife of the Jing household. And the child can’t grow up without a mother...”
She said, “I don’t want the child, and I don’t want you.”
