After a family upheaval, Meng Qiwu brought her vast fortune to seek refuge with her maternal family in the capital. She grew up with her cousin Gu Linfeng, and fell in love with him.
But after ten years together and all her devoted affection, all she got in return was, “You’re a mere orphan. You’re not fit to be the mistress of this marquis’s estate.”
At last, Meng Qiwu came to her senses, narrowly escaping being stripped of everything by the predatory household.
She gave up hope, moved out of the marquis’s estate, and entered the crown prince’s selection of consorts.
With no one to rely on and wolves and tigers circling all around her, she might as well find the most powerful protector she could.
Rumor had it that Crown Prince Xie Chenyuan was moody and had an extreme aversion to women. What no one knew was that years ago, he had fallen for a woman at first sight.
When the man she loved abandoned her to marry someone else, Xie Chenyuan saw her heartbroken expression and knew his chance to steal her away had come...
Meng Qiwu thought it would be a partnership, a marriage of appearances in which they treated each other with polite respect. She never imagined the crown prince would be so obsessed with her and so unhinged. Since she entered his residence, the bed had collapsed several times.
Meng Qiwu could hardly bear it, so she found an excuse to hide in another residence. Yet that very night, the crown prince came after her and pinned her in a corner.
“Qiwu, I’ve gone mad for you. How can you be the only one keeping your senses?”
“You’re the one who made me this way. And now you want to run? Too late.”
Later, when Gu Linfeng saw Meng Qiwu with a pregnant belly, he was consumed with regret. He had simply failed to recognize his own feelings soon enough. Why did she have to belong to someone else now?
Xie Chenyuan had loved Meng Qiwu for years, and at last she became his wife. How did the newcomer win her over? Because the crown prince was manipulative and wicked, fighting for her both openly and in secret.
