[Obsessive, scheming minister gong × aloof, frail beauty shou]
Shen Yanci, the legitimate son of the Minister of Revenue, is cool and reserved. He attends the Laba banquet in his father’s place, where Xie Ling, the treacherous chancellor who holds power over the entire court, falls in love with him at first sight.
Not long afterward, the Shen family is framed and plunged into crisis. Shen Yanci is forced to become Xie Ling’s male concubine, showered with affection but kept under strict confinement.
Once the Shen family’s case is cleared, Shen Yanci can no longer bear his captivity. He pretends to be docile while secretly plotting his escape, and comes up with a plan to flee far away.
All he leaves behind is a brief letter, every word dripping with mockery: “Xie Ling, you actually believed those lies I told to fool you. You really are a fool.”
His wife ran away, fine, but she even went out of her way to rile him up!
Shen Yanci becomes a teacher at a rural academy.
One day, during a lecture, a dignified young nobleman speaks from beneath the curtain in a low voice: “Teacher, my wife has run away. What should I do?”
Shen Yanci: “If you care for her, just go find her and bring her back.”
Unexpectedly, the man’s silhouette matches the familiar dark figure from his dreams, the one that made his heart tremble. It is Xie Ling.
He strides forward and sweeps aside the curtain. “My dear wife, I’ve found you.”
Is the sky falling??????
