Song Qinglan and Wen Jingqian were childhood sweethearts, but for the sake of his own future, he sent her to his elder brother's bed.
Song Qinglan wanted to stab him on the spot, but the gulf between their stations left her no choice but to accept her fate. She survived by swallowing her pride and playing the obedient one. Who would have thought that Wen Jingqian would turn into a mad dog, murdering his father and elder brother, and even going so far as to burn the dozens of people in the Wen residence alive?
To stay alive, Song Qinglan had no choice but to play along with him. Neither lies nor compliance worked, until she brought out the aunt she'd saved.
When Wen Jingqian saw his mother, who should have been dead for years, alive and well, he finally abandoned his plan to destroy everything. The two began working together again, bound by shared interests. They joined forces to deal with one problem after another, gradually taking control of the Wen family.
In the process, their feelings rekindled, and they slowly uncovered the truth about what had happened in the past.
