Synopsis
Psychologist Zhao Linghuan, who worked at a psychiatric hospital, transmigrates into a book and becomes a doomed princess who is madly in love with a deranged, powerful minister.
According to the original story, he will torture her to death, and even as she dies, she will still call him "Brother Wushang."
To save her life, she presents him with a divorce agreement and wishes him and the woman he loves a lifetime of happiness together.
He grips her chin. "I, Fu Wushang, only accept death as a widow."
Fine. Then she'll die and see how he likes it.
She fakes her death to escape, but nearly dies when he tries to cremate her.
After trying everything she can think of and still failing to get away, she decides to play along while secretly working against him.
Pretending to be infatuated with him, she becomes the only person who can soothe his fear on stormy nights.
On the surface, she gives him insignificant bits of intelligence. Behind his back, she conspires with his political enemies, sows discord among his confidants, and derails his plans...
She dreams of bringing him down one day and escaping, then spending her life with the gentle and refined heir to the Duke of Ming.
But he begins showering her with attention and getting jealous, wavering between restricting her freedom and letting her go.
Afraid he'll take her life before she can escape, she racks her brains to outwit him.
She never expected that when she was in danger, he would swallow poison and walk into a trap to save her.
With blood on his lips and long-suppressed madness in his eyes, he traps her in his arms. "Huanhuan, my life is yours... I beg you, look at me with your heart."
Since childhood, Fu Wushang has carried a deep blood feud. He won command of an army amid a sea of corpses, and swore to slaughter the entire imperial family.
When the royal family's beloved princess drugs him and offers herself to him, he takes advantage of the situation and marries her, determined to torture her to death and trample the dignity of the royal house underfoot.
Then the little princess's gaze toward him changes. He finds that life has become much more amusing, and patiently plays cat and mouse with her.
He never expected to grow addicted to sleeping beside her, even though he knows that every kindness she shows him is an act.
Later, he discovers that she plans to spend her life with someone else, as the only one in each other's hearts. He completely loses his mind...
