A Delicate Beauty Locked in Gold

Chao Wu was born into a distinguished family as the eldest legitimate daughter of the Marquis Yan household. She grew up in luxury, and at fifteen, when she came of age, she became engaged to Wei Cong, the second legitimate son of the Duke of Xin's household. Everything went smoothly. All she had to do was wait until she turned sixteen to marry, going from a noble young lady everyone envied to a noble wife everyone envied.

But before the wedding date could even be set, she was framed and violated. After she was found to be pregnant, her own parents secretly forced her to take poison for the sake of the family's reputation...

After faking her death and leaving the capital, Chao Wu had only one goal: survive long enough to give birth and raise her child. Then, once he had climbed to the pinnacle of power, she would return to the capital with him and exact her revenge.

She never expected the child's father to already be a powerful man.
