When Yan Ningsi took over Jiuhua Pavilion, it was beset by troubles within and enemies without, with wolves and tigers circling.
An accident brought him together with Ye Huaixi, the chancellor's daughter, who had secretly run away from home. He went to great lengths to marry her, hoping to find a brief moment of respite.
He wanted them to be a devoted couple who treated each other with respect, but she sternly challenged him: "If what I seek isn't love, then among the powerful families in the capital, who could I, Ye Huaixi, not be a match for? Why should I marry you?"
So he began clumsily trying to express his love, but by then she had already lost all hope...
Theme: Be brave and say the words: I love you.
