The heroine Su Wanqing is the most talented woman in the capital. She once fell in love with the gentle and jade-like eldest prince, and was the only white moonlight in her heart. Unexpectedly, the Su family was involved in a rebellion, the whole family was overturned, and the eldest prince also died in the chaos. In order to preserve the last bloodline of the Su family, the emperor issued a "favorous decree" and married Su Wanqing to the eldest prince's younger brother, Prince Jing Xiao Changyuan, who was famous for his gloomy and ruthless nature.
Prince Jing Xiao Changyuan loved his brother deeply and blamed the Su family for his brother's death. He even regarded Su Wanqing as the "unlucky person" who killed his brother. On their wedding night, he insulted her with the cruelest words, starting a hellish marriage life for the two of them. While he was uncontrollably attracted to her tastes and talents that were similar to those of his brother, he also grew to hate her more and more because of this attraction, using endless torture and cold violence to cover up his abnormal temptation.
