The Su family treats Su Qingyuan as a tool for an arranged marriage, forcing her to marry a greasy rich second-generation heir in exchange for benefits worth tens of billions!
She tears up the marriage contract and flees to Dunhuang overnight, throwing herself into restoring cultural relics in the caves and vowing to build a bright life on her own!
She only wants to stay out of trouble and focus on her career, but she unexpectedly meets Lu Zeyan, a powerful official who has come to conduct research.
He is aloof and abstinent, with immense power, distant and taciturn toward everyone. But with her, he is unfailingly gentle, always taking her side and quietly protecting her.
When her awful parents come after her to make trouble, he boldly stands up for her: “She’s mine. Who dares lay a hand on her?”
Her family has always drained and exploited her, so he steps in forcefully and helps her break free of their chains for good!
Afraid that her background will hold him back, she leaves without a word, bearing the pain alone as she returns to the capital to face the storm.
The usually composed Lu Zeyan panics completely. He drops everything to search frantically for her, and when he finds her, his eyes are red: “Su Qingyuan, don’t you dare run away again. I’ll shoulder your troubles, and I’m claiming your whole life!”
