Synopsis: Chang Nian is the emperor's most beloved little princess. She is breathtakingly beautiful, famed as a fairy among lilies, but so frail that even the slightest breeze might make her ill. After coming of age, Chang Nian uses her frail health as an excuse to politely turn down a marriage proposal from the Marquis of Ningyuan in the northwest, and instead marries the young heir to a prestigious family in the capital. She thinks she has found a good match, but never expects her husband to join forces with wicked conspirators to scheme against her. In the end, her elder brother dies far from home, and her loved ones perish with their names unjustly disgraced. Her fate is truly tragic. When Chang Nian opens her eyes again, she has returned to the time before her wedding. This time, she promptly rejects the young heir and accepts the Marquis of Ningyuan's proposal instead. Jiang Shu, the Marquis of Ningyuan, holds sole control over the northwest's military and political affairs. He wields immense power, is decisive and ruthless, and commands life and death. His fearsome reputation as the Iron-Faced King of Hell has even reached the capital, where everyone fears him. Everyone says the delicate little princess will regret marrying him. Some imperial physicians even declare that she will not survive three years in the northwest. Yet three years later, people are amazed to discover that the little princess is not only alive and well, but that the supposedly cold and heartless iron-faced man is tender as can be, pampering her with all his heart. -- A little scene It is true that Jiang Shu personally asked the old emperor for the precious princess's hand in marriage. But it was less a real request than a formality to put the emperor at ease. On her first day in the northwest, the princess caught a chill and fell ill. At the time, Jiang Shu thought of her as no more than a delicate, highborn mistress of the household, and figured the only extra expense would be the monthly cost of her medicine and ginseng. Before long, one of his attendants came to report, "The madam has another headache." Jiang Shu was reviewing military reports in the camp. Frowning, he stood up and went straight home without a word. Later, Jiang Shu began returning home more and more often. One day, a friend asked him about it. Jiang Shu calmly replied, as if it were only natural, "I'm going home to keep my wife company." His friend: Wasn't the plan just to bring her home for show? Also known as The Marquis of Ningyuan's Face-Slapping Wife-Pampering Routine The male lead is extremely doting! Message: No matter how many surprises life throws our way, we should stay optimistic and keep moving forward.
