She is Su Qingyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Su family in Jiangnan. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is as gentle as a new willow in spring. However, due to family changes, she fell into dust.
He is Gu Yanzhi, the chief minister of the Dayin Dynasty. He has all the power in the government and the opposition. His temperament is as cold and hard as black iron. He is not close to women and only believes in machinations.
A piece of paper conferred marriage, and she was involved in the whirlpool of power and intrigue in the capital from the mist of the south of the Yangtze River.
On the wedding night, he was cold and distant: "You and I are just getting what we need. You don't have to have any illusions about me."
After three years of marriage, he gave his tenderness to others, leaving her with endless cold looks and calculations.
She fought for him in family fights, saved the family name for him, and blocked open and secret arrows for him, but all she got in return was "You're not good enough" from him.
Until that day, she was so heartbroken that she left a letter of divorce and left quietly with her younger brother.
He was shocked to realize that the woman who always had a low eyebrow had already weaved a web called "affection" in a place that he couldn't see.
After she left, he went crazy.
He began to chase her, from the capital to Jiangnan, from the court to the market.
He learned to be gentle, learn to bow his head, and learn to let go of all his defenses in front of her.
"Qingyuan, I was blind in the past and didn't know how to cherish. Now, I spend my whole life to atone for my sins. Are you willing to give me another chance?"
This time, it was her choice.
She was no longer the weak woman who relied on him. She became the famous "Mr. Qingyuan" in Jiangnan. She opened a bookshop, ran a girls' school, helped poor students, and lived the life she wanted.
And he is willing to be the shadow behind her to protect her stability for the rest of her life.
