The Pei family’s two daughters are married off on the same day. A fire breaks out, and two bridal sedans are sent on their way. The spoiled concubine-born younger sister ends up married to the bloodthirsty, unhinged regent.
On their wedding night, his eyes bloodshot, he grips her slender waist tightly. “If you marry me, you’ll have to give your life to cure my poison.”
She thinks she is a lamb being led to slaughter, never realizing that she is the prince’s only cure.
Later, the whole capital waits to see Pei Shuyi tortured to death, only to stumble upon the proud, untouchable regent kneeling by the bed, coaxing her humbly:
“Be good. Let me smell you once more, and I’ll give you my life.”
Later still, Pei Shuyi packs her things and runs away.
The regent seals off the entire city, but a three-year-old toddler blocks his path.
“Daddy, want to see Mommy? That’ll cost extra!”
