Everyone said that Lin Wanqing, a talented girl from Jiangnan, was a wooden beauty who could be manipulated by anyone.
Her aunt treated her as an abandoned child and sent her to Dingbeihou Mansion to celebrate the death of the eldest son who was sitting in a wheelchair and had a sullen temperament.
On their wedding night, he coldly mocked her as a "scapegoat."
But she was neither humble nor arrogant, and handed over a contract: "The prince needs a prince concubine who will not cause trouble, and I need a place to live and settle down, and we will not interfere with each other for half a year."
Later——
He looked at the character of "still water runs deep" in her writing, looked at her concentration when giving him acupuncture to relieve pain, and looked at her sharpness in facing the court alone after disposing of her dowry.
The prince in the wheelchair, his eyes darkening, took her into his arms and said in a hoarse voice: "Qing'er, I regret this contract. I want you forever."
She was deliberately hiding her edge, but she became his only salvation in a desperate situation.
He originally wanted to be alone for the rest of his life, but instead he was obsessed with her for the rest of his life.
