The Yongning Hou Mansion needs to celebrate a concubine who is about to die.
Thirteen-year-old Jiang Yidu was sold. On his wedding night, he pressed the dagger in his arms, waiting for a life-and-death contest - but only waited for a pair of cold eyes.
Xiao Linlie, sixteen years old, his "husband".
Leaning on the bedside, looking at him as if he were looking at an object that had just been delivered: "Male? It doesn't matter if it's a man. Women's trouble."
They were like two trapped animals, forced to live in the same room.
It started as a calculation. It's an alliance. Then came the temptation. Later, it was soft-hearted, caring, and those things that no one was willing to say.
But the Hou Mansion will not make it easy for them.
The humiliation of his brother-in-law, the glass of wine he had to drink at the family banquet, the hot mark on the back of his neck - the knives fell one by one, cutting on them and between them.
The three-year agreement is their promise to each other.
Three years later, he will stand up. Three years later, he wanted to pay back everything he was owed.
When they really stood on a high place and looked back, they realized that something was different——
Is the person who will wait for him still there?
When a person swallows all his hatred and saves it up, just to stand up one day - then after he stands up, will he still recognize who he is?
The real redemption is not who saves whom, but in the darkest place, there is a person who makes you discover: It turns out that I still want to live, it turns out that I can still love.
Purpose: Learn to love people in a place where people are eaten. This is a story about how two people abandoned by the world saw each other in the mud. It is not a simple "sadistic love", but a long and bloody separation and rebirth - it took Xiao Linlie sixteen years to learn to hate, but it took even longer to learn to love. Jiang Yidu thought he would no longer feel pain, but when the man pushed the quilt over again and again, he found that his heart was still moving. The deepest abuse in the world is not when a knife falls on you, but when that person finally knows how to cherish you, you no longer know whether you can trust him or not.
