    The female lead, Jiang Chuyue, initially falls for her sworn brother, the second male lead Xiao Ji (not the male lead). The story begins with her brother taking his ninth concubine, and all the concubines from the first to the tenth bear a slight resemblance to her… The male lead is Xiao Ji's good brother (not really). The male lead, Xie Linyuan, has waited for the female lead for many years. The second male lead, for the sake of the tenth concubine, Jiang Shi, chooses to make the female lead take the blame. At the second male lead's insistence, the male lead "reluctantly" marries the female lead to prevent the Empress from taking action… In this book, there seem to be no absolute villains. The female lead's nemesis becomes a devoted fan, and the male lead's admirer becomes her protector. A princess, a powerful minister's wife, and the Empress's sister—they all end up together in a bizarre situation… It's a world where only the scumbag male lead gets hurt, but Jiang Shi is rather naive. The Emperor isn't a good person, but the real Jiang Shi is alright…
