The whole family of the Zhenguo Hou Mansion collapsed, and Shen Qingci, the legitimate daughter, became the daughter of a guilty minister overnight.
Xie Jingheng, a sweetheart who used to be deeply in love, broke off the engagement in public for Ronghua;
Desperate, she was forced to marry into Prince Jing's palace and became the nominal concubine of the eldest son, Xiao Chengyu.
On their wedding night, the prince stayed in the outer courtyard, and the whole capital laughed at her for being pitiful and despicable.
No one knew that the person who really trapped her in the cage was the powerful and taciturn Prince Jing - Xiao Jingyuan.
He was her nominal brother-in-law, a bystander to her massacre, and an old person she didn't dare to talk about when she was young.
"Since you have married into the royal family, you should know the rules."
The man pressed her against the pillar, his voice was cold, but it contained bone-gnawing paranoia:
"For four years, the king has only been waiting for you."
She was struggling in a desperate situation, and he was pressing on her in the dark.
She cannot escape or hide from this imprisonment in the name of love.
