Xue Hanzhang, the cousin of Uncle Anyuan's Mansion, was a famous sickly beauty in Ning'an. She came to join her maternal grandfather's family. Although she was loved by her, she had to listen to the ridicule from the uncle's female family members in secret and openly every day, saying that she was a loser without a father and a mother. She worked hard every day to keep the rich dowry in her name.
In order not to marry her eldest uncle's dandy nephew, she could only pretend to be confused and rely on her weak body to delay as much as possible. She secretly planned to marry a poor boy so that she could get the dowry back as soon as possible and then divorce. She would take the dowry and fly away, never to look at the uncle's face again.
That day, she went to a hospital outside the city to recuperate, and unexpectedly rescued the young prince Lu Zhanbei, who had failed to suppress the bandits and was seriously injured and comatose.
During the days of recuperation, the two unexpectedly found a spiritual connection. She understands that his ambition is hard to achieve, and he understands her forbearance and planning. Even the sound of rain falling outside the window can make them talk for most of the night.
Lu Zhanbei only said that his biological mother died young and his family never cared about him. Fortunately, he had some martial arts skills, so he had to work as a bodyguard. Xue Hanzhang thought he was a poor boy and thought it would be good to marry him.
But before she could say anything, Lu Zhanbei left without saying goodbye, not even leaving a note.
It wasn't until a few months later that the uncle's house was ransacked and the dowry was returned in full. Lu Zhanbei, dressed in military uniform, led troops to break in and knelt on one knee in front of her. His eyes were full of guilt: "Hanzhang, I didn't leave without saying goodbye. I came back to Beijing to ask for your Majesty's permission to marry me. Marry me to keep you safe for the rest of your life."
It turned out that he left in a hurry that day because he was afraid of delaying her plan, and even more afraid that he had no fame and was not worthy of her.
