The prefect of Yangzhou has a daughter, beautiful and captivating, whose peerless looks have young men across Yangzhou vying for her attention.

She knows that in the future, she will follow her parents' arrangements and move into Prince Rong's residence as a young lady from her maternal relatives' family, all in the hope of securing a good marriage. She will also be betrothed to a commandery prince with a poor reputation and become his wife.

After marriage, she will tread carefully, always on tenterhooks, striving only to fulfill her duty as a wife. But when trouble strikes her family, her husband chooses to stand by and do nothing, utterly freezing her heart.

Su Qinli, who has foreseen her future, is already on her way to Prince Rong's residence. It's too late to regret it, so what can she do? She can only turn her attention to the heir apparent, her future brother-in-law. Rumor has it that the heir is flawless and nobly refined, but even colder and more heartless than his younger brother, the commandery prince.

But she knows even better that the future heir will wield great power as the Grand Secretary, feared even by the future emperor. That's enough for her.

Content warnings:

1. The male lead, second male lead, and heroine are all morally dubious. The male lead may force the heroine into a relationship, and the heroine is calculating!

2. The male lead and heroine were both sexually experienced in their previous lives. The male lead is chaste in this life. The heroine gets together with his younger brother first, then the older brother forces her into a relationship.

3. The ending will most likely leave the heroine caught between the two brothers.
