When Su Mingyao was young, she was particularly arrogant because she was favored by her family and the only daughter in the general's palace.
Her grandmother is seriously ill, and her only wish is to see her get married. She has been in love with her since childhood, but her childhood sweetheart Shen Yanqing is polite yet distant, saying that they were friends in the past, but it was just her wishful thinking. The promise they had made when they were young was in vain now, and Su Mingyao became the Crown Prince Duan's concubine.
Once there was a rebellion, the emperor ordered King Duan and General Zhenbei's Mansion to plot a rebellion. King Duan committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime, and General Zhenbei and his wife were imprisoned forever. The only eldest brother asked to be exiled to the northwest to join the army in order to keep her safe.
Su Mingyao became a widow that everyone in the capital could step on, but her father and Prince Duan were loyal ministers for generations and could never rebel. In order to find out the truth, she was willing to marry as a concubine, just to use her power to save her father and brother.
She held the Geng Tie in her hand and was about to exchange it, but someone snatched it away. It was Shen Yanqing with whom she had a relationship when they were young, but by that time he had already become a powerful Crown Prince and Tutor, and had gained power in one fell swoop.
He was wearing black and gold attire, clutching Geng Tie tightly in his hand, staring at her closely and saying: "If you marry him, why not marry me?"
Su Mingyao's eyes flashed with sarcasm. What he said when she was young was still vivid in her mind. What's more, her parents were arrested and imprisoned by him himself. She raised her lips and smiled, and said with contempt: "Marry me, are you worthy of saying such a thing?"
Shen Yanqing came from a poor family, and the most gorgeous ceremony he had seen before he became powerful was the scene when Su Mingyao got married. Dressed in red makeup and smiling, she was the most beautiful and charming pearl in the capital.
But he couldn't possibly watch her marry someone else for a second time.
He walked into the wedding room and touched her fan. She kicked him angrily, but he only felt relieved. He bent down and squatted down to hold her ankles, put on her shoes and socks, and said word by word: "I said that only I can be your husband."
Everyone in the capital city spread rumors that the Taifu Shen Yanqing, who had always been self-restrained and reverent in etiquette, was crazy and actually snatched his wife in the street in broad daylight.
But even Shen Yanqing did not expect that King Duan, who had already committed suicide in fear of his crime, would appear alive in front of them one day.

Small theater
In the study room of Taifu's house, where no one dared to go, Su Mingyao set up a brazier there and burned condolence paper money.
Shen Yanqing held Su Mingyao's shoulders and said coldly: "I said, no open flames are allowed in the study."
Su Mingyao raised her head and gently stroked his eyebrows with her hands, her eyes actually showing a bit of tenderness.
Shen Yanqing's expression softened a lot, and he was reflecting on whether his tone was too cold.
But I heard Su Mingyao say heart-wrenchingly: "When you are angry, your eyebrows actually look a bit like him."
