Lu Shiyan, Marquis of Yongyong Ning, was known as Yama. The court was afraid of his ruthless methods, and the aristocratic families in the capital were disgusted by his callousness and unrighteousness. The deceased wife left behind a naughty legitimate son, and the undercurrent in the backyard of the Hou Mansion was raging. No one wanted to step into the cage of right and wrong.
Shen Qingyan is the legitimate daughter abandoned by the Shen family. Her mother died tragically unjustly, so she was forced to marry her concubine in her place. She entered the house full of hatred, pretending to be meek and dormant, and wanted to take revenge on Lu Shiyan, who was suspected of being the culprit of her mother's death.
The legitimate son in the palace was framed and made things difficult every day, and the concubine was a double undercover agent of the queen and his late wife's old subordinates, stirring up dissension step by step. Above the court, the emperor, his relatives, and officials from the Qing Dynasty jointly set up a plan to take advantage of Lu Shiyan in the palace.
What she saw was that he punished her in the snow, scorned her in the hall, and severed their relationship with a divorce letter; what she didn't know was that every harsh scolding was to prevent her from being executed. He opened the window late at night to watch, secretly weeding out all the people who bullied her, and clenched his white knuckles to endure the pain. He hid all his warmth, just to protect her safety.
We looked at each other from a distance countless times, with love hidden in our eyes, and misunderstandings lingering for half our lives. It wasn't until the major conspiracy broke out and the truth of the old case was revealed layer by layer that Shen Qingyan understood the stigma and deep feelings he had carried for many years.
When Yan entered the Hou family, every step was filled with grievances and grievances; when the time spread, the warmth was hidden, and they were riddled with wounds. The two worked together to rectify the unjust case and eliminate the traitors in the court. After enduring endless tug and pain, they were able to take off the disguise and confess their true feelings.
