Su Qingyuan, an orphan abandoned by the Su family and raised in the countryside, marries her enemy in her elder sister’s place, carrying a ten-year secret love in her heart. She has no idea that she is the very person who saved his life years ago. He mistakes a vain official’s daughter for his white moonlight, tormenting Su Qingyuan at every turn. Then, after framing her, he forces himself on her. Her congenital heart disease is compounded by PTSD around intimate contact, and she trembles at the slightest touch.
