On her wedding day, the Heir of Pingyang disregards Wen Jinyu's dignity and carries his concubine into the manor, leaving her to suffer humiliation on the main street.
Xie Tingyun, the dazzling Prince Li of the capital, rides past and asks if she is willing to become his princess consort. Wen Jinyu gladly agrees.
From then on, Xie Tingyun begins his secret campaign of doting on his wife.
When she is hurt, he brings her medicine. When she takes down scoundrels, he backs her up.
Everyone in the capital says Wen Jinyu is only the daughter of a seventh-rank Hanlin Academy editor and is unworthy of the position of principal consort. Xie Tingyun raises her status and petitions to have her named a commandery princess.
Everyone in the capital envies Wen Jinyu for winning the Prince of Li they all admired, but Xie Tingyun declares to the world, “From the very beginning, there has only ever been one woman fit to be my princess consort.”
When her family is destroyed and her loved ones are gone, the scoundrel kneels and begs Wen Jinyu to take him back.
But Wen Jinyu nestles in Xie Tingyun's arms, stroking her swollen belly. “I'm carrying the Prince of Li's child. Stay away.”
