Qin Wanyan, a wealthy merchant, and Prince Rui, Cui Fengzhang, are notorious enemies in the capital.
They could barely stand one another even before their children were betrothed.
She disliked his son, and he couldn’t stand her attitude. Yet, as it happened, their children really did marry.
That made Qin Wanyan and Cui Fengzhang in-laws.
But the marriage ultimately didn’t last.
After years together, they ended up with nothing but a divorce agreement, each returning to their own home.
Once their children were divorced, the two of them should have had no reason to remain connected.
But after many twists and turns, the former enemies and former in-laws became the closest people in each other’s lives.
Qin Wanyan once declared, “I, Qin Wanyan, will never raise a glass to Cui Fengzhang in this lifetime.”
Who could have guessed that they would later become lovers?
More absurd still, Qin Wanyan became pregnant with his child.
On the day they married because of the baby, dragon-and-phoenix candles burned as red curtains swayed.
Though she had sworn never to raise a glass to him, in the end they lifted their cups and drank the wedding wine together.
From enemies to in-laws, then strangers, and finally husband and wife.
A little scene:
When Cui Fengzhang learned Qin Wanyan was pregnant, he blurted out:
“Is it mine?”
Qin Wanyan rolled her eyes.
“No, it’s the dog’s.”
Cui Fengzhang: “...Woof.”

Not a first-time relationship for both leads. Please avoid if that bothers you.
Bickering enemies + marriage first, love later + marriage due to pregnancy + parents-in-law through their children + love that grows over time + mutual devotion + lighthearted comedy
