To this day, he still regrets storming off in a fit of anger when he was young.
It let his elder brother take the place of the fiancée who was meant to be his.
Long-Pre-Meditated Scheme | Wolf-and-Rabbit Tale of Stealing Someone Else's Lover | Brothers' Showdown
Qi Fei had been timid since childhood. When the young master of the Xie family chose her to be his fiancée because of her beauty, she meekly accepted.
Everyone said she had lucked into a wonderful match. After all, her fiancé had an impressive elder brother: Xie Yutang, who had become chancellor at a young age and was rising rapidly through the ranks.
But Qi Fei didn't see it that way.
She didn't like her fiancé, and she was even more afraid of his powerful elder brother.
Xie Yutang was aloof and rigid.
Whenever Qi Fei ran into him at the Xie residence, he would seize on some baseless excuse to drag her to his study.
There, he would mete out punishments, small or severe.
Just thinking of those cool, strong hands made Qi Fei shudder.

On the eve of the wedding, her fiancé ran away.
Her family lamented the loss of such a good match, but Qi Fei thought it was just as well.
At least... she wouldn't have to see those eyes, so dark they made her heart tremble.
But the next day, word came from the Xie residence: the wedding was still on.
Qi Fei was forced into the bridal sedan. When she lifted her veil, she discovered that the groom was the elder brother she had always feared, Xie Yutang!
-
Xie Yutang had been harboring feelings for Qi Fei for a long time.
Long before his younger brother had become engaged to her, he was already plotting how to get close to her.
So when Qi Fei cried after he bullied her, shouting that he was a despicable man lusting after his younger brother's wife,
he brushed away her tears and gently shook his head.
“No, A Fei.”
