[The carefree but perceptive heir to a marquis’s household vs. the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, who has never lived for herself]
An old marriage pact made by their grandparents brings together two people who barely know each other.
The original agreement paired the marquis’s heir with the Su family’s legitimate daughter. But Su Qingyuan already has someone she loves and refuses to marry the notorious playboy of the capital.
Su Nianhe willingly takes her place as the bride. Though inexperienced in the ways of the world, she understands the stakes and knows that everyone in the capital is watching the Su family become a laughingstock. Besides, her life has always been full of misfortune, so marrying a man who is not a good match makes little difference to her.
Xiao Yunheng may not show it, but he looks after her in secret.
Little by little, the Xiao Yunheng whom everyone calls a playboy begins to look different to her.
Day after day, they are by each other’s side; through every hardship, their hands remain clasped.
Perhaps years later, as they sit in the courtyard and admire the sunset, they will realize that their hearts have been close for a long time.
