Xu Qingyuan was the legitimate daughter of the Taifu Mansion. She had always been cold and self-possessed, knowing everything well and never wanting to be distracted by love. She originally thought that her life would be nothing more than a scholarly life, and she would choose a decent family to spend it peacefully. Unexpectedly, she was offered a marriage and pointed her to the most feared Marquis of Changning in Beijing.
Xie Yanci led the army as a young man, was awarded a title based on his military exploits, and held the military power in the capital. He had a cold temperament, acted ruthlessly, and was always unkind. Everyone knew that this marriage was planned by him for the sake of power. Only he knew clearly that what he wanted was never the help of the Shen family, but the sober and alienated figure in the lantern market three years ago.
He used his power as a betrothal, forcibly married her into the noble family, and kept her around.
She didn't make any noise or get close to him. She always kept her own boundaries and dealt with him coldly.
He thought he had a firm hold on her, but in the end he discovered that it was him who was first tempted, first out of control, and first unable to let go.
The Hou Men is deep and dark, after all, he is the one who has trapped her, and she has trapped him all his life.
Intention: Love can never be obtained by force, only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.
