[Resilient Little White Flower × Cunning True Devil King] [Rivals Battling for Her] [Powerful and Influential - Older Man - The Powerful One Bows His Head] [Devoted Second Male Lead]
After the Jiang family was sentenced to exile,
Jiang Lingyi, daughter of the Grand Tutor, was rescued from the entertainment quarter by Prince Jing'an, Xiao Lin. She thought she had met a kind-hearted bodhisattva, but he turned out to be a man-eating rakshasa...
The Jiang family's downfall was the result of a power struggle within the imperial court. From the day she was born, Jiang Lingyi was bound to her family's fate, with no choice of her own.
He knew the truth, yet still used the Jiang family's wrongful case to lure, deceive, torment, and take advantage of her. He kept giving her hope, only to crush it with his own hands.
Xiao Lin thought it would be easy to keep a sheltered, naive young lady confined. Little did he know that one misstep would cause her to see through his layers of lies, one by one...
The once meek and patient woman suddenly came to her senses. She would risk everything to break free of this gilded cage and escape his control.
Xiao Lin was cold-faced and black-hearted. Everyone in the capital knew his wicked reputation. He had kept her by his side, intending to make use of her to the fullest, until things gradually spiraled out of control...

The more arrogant the male lead is at first, the more lowly he becomes later, spending every day desperately trying to win his wife back.
Since this is set in ancient times, the male lead has had relationships before meeting the female lead and is not entirely chaste. Don't read if that bothers you.
