[Marriage first, love later | The male protagonist is attracted first | The woman chases the man | Machiavellian emotional flow]
After the fall of the old dynasty, the princess chosen by Jiang Yixia from the East Palace became the daughter of the criminal official of the new dynasty.
His father died, and his family's wealth was gone. The prince casually rewarded her to Pei Jun - the number one eagle dog who held military power and suppressed the gentry on behalf of the prince, and the civil servants in the dynasty wanted to eat his flesh and blood.
After the marriage, the two respected each other like ice. It wasn't until her brother's life was hanging by a thread and her former relatives and friends disappeared behind closed doors that she had no choice but to turn her attention to her husband.
Pei Jun needed a docile and considerate wife, so she would leave a lamp and a warm table for him, and speak softly with her low eyebrows; Pei Jun wanted a harmonious couple, so she would interlock with him in front of others, showing deep affection.
It's all fake anyway.
When her brother is out of danger and the prince falls, she will leave the Pei family and have nothing to do with this rebellious minister and traitor.
Jiang Yixia thought she had covered it up well.
Until one night, Pei Jun blocked her in a dimly lit corridor, looked down at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed.
"Madam has been treating me so well lately——"
"Who do you want to save or kill?"
Jiang Yixia's fingertips suddenly became cold.
Pei Jun had already leaned closer and helped her straighten the shaky golden hairpin on her temples, his tone still calm.
"Tell me and listen."
"Maybe my husband is willing to help you."
