The older man is so nice! He's rich, handsome, and incredibly considerate to Rongrong. Rongrong deserves it; she's suffered so much. She should have been the most noble and happiest person in the country, but she was dragged into the grudges of the previous generation and tormented by the Yan family's adoptive parents.

    I cried several times while reading this book. It wasn't just gratuitous angst; it was the kind of mutual devotion where "she waits for him in hell, while he desperately runs towards hell from the human world." The female lead isn't a naive, innocent girl; she's a top student who can intimidate her guards with legal statutes when imprisoned and feign illness by cutting her wrists with a shard of porcelain to get a chance to call for help. The male lead isn't love-struck either; he builds his business while searching for her, his company's valuation soaring from hundreds of thousands to billions, all to save enough money to pull her out of her predicament. In the end, the two work together to send the bad guys to prison, and standing in the sunlight with their son—that feeling of "making it through" is truly worthwhile.

    This story tells of the complex love-hate relationship between Jing Mingyue, a maidservant from the State of Chu, and Xiao Lü, a hostage prince from the State of Zhao. Jing Mingyue accompanied Xiao Lü as a hostage in Chu from a young age, and the two relied on each other for survival, developing feelings for one another. Xiao Lü initially treated her intimately as husband and wife, but after returning to Zhao, he gradually revealed his scheming nature, demoting Jing Mingyue to the lowly status of a "Chu slave" and marrying Qin Fangruo, the daughter of the Grand Commandant. Jing Mingyue struggles with the disparity in her social status and the betrayal in her relationship, attempting to escape but repeatedly being forcefully imprisoned by Xiao Lü, even being forced into becoming a nameless and unrecognized "concubine." Faced with Qin Fangruo's threats and Xiao Lü's fickle nature, she gradually awakens to the truth and resolves to break free, only to become increasingly entangled in the vortex of fate. The novel delicately portrays the survival dilemmas of women under the power struggles, and the sharp conflicts between love and exploitation, promises and betrayals.
