[Gentle, Cunning Sickly Beauty x Cruel, Unhinged Nobleman]
Jiang Miao was Li Shaowei's stepmother.
At first, Li Shaowei looked down on Jiang Miao, thinking only that his father had been bewitched by her.
But in the end, he fell even deeper than his father.
Li Shaowei watched the usually gentle and proper Jiang Miao break taboos for him, and doted on her to the extreme.
Worried about Jiang Miao's frail health, Li Shaowei was also restrained when it came to intimacy.
But Jiang Miao still ran away, because the man she had once loved had returned.
When she rushed to the post station, she found her beloved decapitated, and Li Shaowei waiting there like a demon.
"So you love me only because I look like the man you used to love."
Li Shaowei set down the head in his hands, gripped the golden hairpin that symbolized their love, and resolutely slashed at his own face.
Once, twice, again and again, until blood streamed down his face.
Ignoring the gruesome wounds, Li Shaowei asked Jiang Miao with self-destructive madness, "Now that I don't look like him anymore, are you willing to look at me?"
Jiang Miao was imprisoned by his side once more.
Li Shaowei carved a Lingwei flower into her waist, branding her with a mark that belonged to him alone.
The once-mighty Li clan of Lingchuan fell overnight. Before Li Shaowei was exiled, all he asked was to see Jiang Miao one last time.
Instead, he received a letter in Jiang Miao's own hand, filled with nothing but her hatred for him.
He hated her with all his heart.
After his name was cleared, Li Shaowei went mad searching for Jiang Miao, wanting to imprison her at his side and crush all her coldness and distance.
But what he eventually found was a desolate grave.
People told him that Jiang Miao had died four years earlier, worn down by her old illness.
When she was buried, she was still carrying his child.

1. An anguished romance with obsessive, coercive love. Transgressive relationship and face-slapping drama. Happy ending.

3. The hero is a sinister hypocrite. He has no limits and will do anything to win the heroine, and treats everyone he sees as an obstacle to their relationship equally cruelly.
