Shen Lingyi has only learned one thing in his life: bow his head.
She is the concubine of the Shen family. Her biological mother died early, and her aunt-in-law didn't even pay her any attention. When she was sixteen, her eldest sister got married. As a dowry, she entered the Xiao Mansion in an inconspicuous green sedan chair. She thought that after a few years, her eldest sister would find her a match and she would be able to leave.
On their wedding night, my sister-in-law opened her door.
Not discussing, not begging. The eldest sister only said a few words, each of which was critical to her life: the mute gardener who had taken care of her since she was a child, the personal maid who had been with her for eight years, and her mother's unattended grave. If you don't agree - none of these people can be saved.
"You go for me."
From that night on, she lived as two people. During the day, she was the quietest concubine in the Xiao Mansion. She walked with her head lowered and spoke softly, and her presence was as thin as a layer of paper. At night, she was pushed into the main room and had sex in the darkness - the man regarded her as his wife. She didn't dare to make a sound, didn't dare to look up, and couldn't even be called by her name.
She gritted her teeth and endured it, waiting for Shen Lingwan to get tired of it and let her go.
Xiao Yan, who joined the cabinet at the age of twenty-four, was the youngest powerful official in the dynasty. The people in the government and the public secretly called him the "cold-faced King of Hell". What he despised most in his life was people who couldn't control themselves. Marrying Shen Lingwan was his father's order, so he didn't care - it was just a woman, it was the same.
But something hasn't been right with him lately. He would subconsciously look for a figure in the corridor, pay attention to the back of her neck exposed from her hair while doing needlework, and hold his breath when she lowered her head and passed by. When he realized what he was doing - he crushed a teacup.
That's his wife's sister.
