Zhou Chan was born into a farming family and had a face so captivating it brought her no end of trouble.
To leave this place and live a better life, she once deceived a nobleman.
He was as bright and immaculate as the moon, gentle and refined, and clearly born into a great clan. She clung to this powerful patron,
hoping to gain wealth and status.
Xie Yan was a true gentleman. He could not see through her schemes and ambition, yet he gave her everything she wanted.
He taught her to read and write, and how to deal with people. He was as gentle as an immortal.
Little by little, Zhou Chan fell for him.
Unexpectedly, she caught the eye of his younger brother, Xie Zheng.
That man had a vicious temper and never let a slight go unpunished. As it happened, Zhou Chan had offended him long ago.
To keep staying by Xie Yan's side, she had no choice but to win Xie Zheng over.
From the moment Xie Zheng first saw Zhou Chan, he was thoroughly disgusted by her.
She was too beautiful, lied through her teeth, and was spoiled and willful.
He could not understand how someone so foolish had managed to deceive his elder brother.
He resolved to make sure a woman like her would never dare to bother his elder brother again.
Later, he bullied her until she had nowhere left to retreat.
This once-arrogant favored consort broke down crying before him, tears streaming down her face, and admitted that she should not have claimed the kindness that had originally been meant for him.
Her tears soaked her collar, and she looked like a rain-soaked begonia.
Xie Zheng thought he finally understood why his elder brother had indulged her all along.
