    The story of Li Qu, who came from a poor background and had a strong mind, fighting against feudal oppression of women! During Li Qu's most difficult time, she sought the protection of Xiao Cong, the heir apparent of the Prince of Yan. After spoiling and indulging her for eight years, he told her, "With your background, even becoming a concubine is a step up for you." He demanded that she respect his fiancée, and even after she resisted her fiancée's humiliation, he specially hired a nanny to teach her the rules of being a concubine... Li Qu refused to accept her fate. She coaxed and deceived him, finally finding a chance to escape [almost crying], only to run into the hands of Zhou Sanye, the youngest son of the Zhou family, and was forced to become his concubine. She hated it; she only wanted freedom and respect. She thought that if she could coax one, she could coax another. She used her charm to win him over, watching with clear-headedness as Zhou Sanye succumbed to temptation. In just eight months, he went from being merely a concubine to fearing his beloved concubine would be mistreated, and finally, despite family pressure, married her. But Li Qu didn't care; she wanted freedom, she wouldn't forgive him... As for why Zhou Sanye eventually came out on top, it was probably because he corrected his mistakes, he was able to change his mindset about having multiple wives and concubines for her, and remained chaste for her.
