Chun Yunan was just a peddler’s daughter who wandered the streets to scrape together a living. Then, overnight, she was forcibly abducted, stuffed into a bridal sedan, and sent to marry Huo Chengyue, the rumored vicious and ruthless future chancellor who supposedly had little time left to live. She was meant to bring him good luck in place of the Princess Zhaoyang, who had eloped.
The entire capital waited to laugh at her. With her lowly birth, she was marrying a dying man, and entering his household meant certain death. Her end was bound to be miserable.
No one could have imagined that the decisive, cold, taciturn powerbroker would fall for her at first sight, giving her his whole heart.
He broke the rules for her, weathered every storm for her, and defied fate for her. From a groom brought in to bring good luck, he rose to become a powerful figure who dominated the court, a husband obsessed with her alone.
Later, she was ambushed and imprisoned, misled by lies into believing he had long since abandoned her without a second thought.
But he led thousands of soldiers to storm the dangerous stronghold, then clutched her tightly in his arms, eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse and wild:
“Chun Yunan, in this life and the next, you can only be mine. Don’t even think about running.”
Everyone feared Chancellor Huo’s ruthless coldness. Only the girl in his arms knew that all his tenderness, madness, and restraint belonged to her alone.
