Serious-toned description:

The story of Wu Yi and Zhennan began with an unequal act of seizure.

Male lead's perspective:

A bright red chastity mark was painted on Zhennan at birth.

From childhood onward, Zhennan faithfully followed his father's instructions: keep his skin fair, his waist slim, and himself clean from head to toe. That way, he could grow up to be a little husband his future wife would adore.

But one day, while he was out on the street, a powerful woman took his virtue by force. His chastity mark was gone, and he returned home in tears, hoping his mother would stand up for him.

But his mother wouldn't even see him. She sent her personal maid to tell him that, having lost his virtue, he was an ill omen and could no longer remain in the household. He should find somewhere else to go, and the family would act as if he had never existed. Even his father, who had always doted on him, said he must be a little slut who couldn't bear loneliness and had gone looking for trouble. Otherwise, why would that woman have taken his virtue and no one else's?

With a handprint his father had left on his face, Zhennan was driven out of the house. Heartbroken, he wandered the streets, only to be sent rolling several times by a horsewhip.

He raised his head, covered in dust, and saw the powerful woman who had taken his body sitting astride a tall horse, looking down at him and speaking in a lewd, teasing manner.

"Well, well. What little slut have we got here?"

She took him home and kept him in a courtyard. He should have hated her for taking his virtue, but instead, he developed feelings for her. He wanted to spend his life with her and become her acknowledged little husband. But she avoided the subject.

He thought he had plenty of time and would eventually get his chance, until he discovered that the woman already had another little husband, more charming and lovable than he was. Only then did he realize that he was just a wildflower she had picked because she was tired of the one at home and wanted to try something new.

Female lead's perspective:

Wu Yi, a medical student, was halfway through preparing for graduate school when her life was cut short. By chance, she arrived in Vermilion Bird City and became its powerful judicial officer.

Though she held a high position, the Vermilion Bird judicial officer was also subject to suspicion. Wu Yi spent three years in the city without incident, gradually earning the city lord's trust.

One day, she casually picked up the poor boy who had lost his virtue to her...

Description:

My talent was mediocre and my spells were weak. I once thought I had no chance of ascending in this life.

After I joined a sect, for some reason, Ye Jianghe, the genius senior brother said to have the best chance of ascending, took special care of me.

As expected, I got the "excellent" ranking of dead last in the disciples' competition. Ye Jianghe disappeared for a while, and I thought he'd finally come to his senses. The best of the best shouldn't be hanging around with the worst of the worst.

When Ye Jianghe appeared before me again, something about him felt different. Something was very wrong. Somehow, my fingers had undone his belt.

Not only did he fail to stop me, he let my fingers keep exploring.

He had refined himself into a nourishing cultivation vessel to help me ascend.

Things having come to this, I had planned to lie flat, but all I could do was accept his gift with tears in my eyes!

Theme: Winter has come, but spring is not far away.
