Her family has fallen, and the powerful nobles of the capital are placing bets on whose bed the once-renowned beauty Su Fu will end up in.
The Shen family is forcing her to become a concubine. They even broke both of her young brother's legs and threw him into the Court of Judicial Review.
With nowhere else to turn, Su Fu clung to Duke Ning Xiao Jue's leg. "Duke, save me."
That night, Xiao Jue took her back to his estate, and they spent the night entwined together.
In public, he is the lofty, untouchable duke, and she keeps her head bowed, meek and obedient.
In private, beneath the red bridal candles, she lures him with her softness, and every night he calls her his wife.
She entices and teases him in a gentle voice, drawing him in step by step. Using his power, she investigates the truth behind her father's death.
At first, Xiao Jue treats her as a possession in his palm, there for him to take as he pleases.
Later, he willingly falls at her feet.
Duke Ning Xiao Jue is decisive and ruthless, pure-hearted and free of desire. No woman has ever caught his eye.
Until one day, he takes a fancy to a young woman and brings her home.
The girl is delicate and soft, sweet and well-behaved. Before he knows it, he has fallen for her.
From then on, on every sultry night, he holds Su Fu in his arms and demands, word by word, "Fu'er, open your eyes and see clearly. Who am I?"
