Zhao Huaijin never imagined that, as a prince of Ding'an, he would one day have to marry into another family.
But when his elder brother ascended the throne, everything was already set in stone. The marriage agreement his father had made to strengthen Zhao Huaijin's position had now become a cage holding him captive.
A red bridal veil ruined all of Zhao Huaijin's prospects. His wife was Shen Gewan, the famous female general of Ding'an.
On their wedding night, she humiliated him to put him in his place. She didn't know that he had already accepted his position and intended to behave himself, hoping only that the two of them could grow old together and serve their country as husband and wife.
But Shen Gewan didn't see it that way. In the general's manor, inside a small building in the back garden, another figure dressed in white was being kept under lock and key.
Shen Gewan said that was her real husband.
Not a female-dominant world. The male lead and male supporting character are jealous of each other, and each thinks the female lead loves the other more.
Gentle, sensitive, considerate, beautiful male lead x willful young lady heroine who indulges in wine, lust, money, and status
Marriage first, love later; the heroine falls for someone else; daily-life story
Theme: Break free from worldly shackles and let go of prejudice
The writing is so smooth, with a somewhat elegant flavor
