Shen Ruan was the daughter of a Jiangnan merchant family. But when she was fourteen, her family fell into ruin, and both her parents were killed by bandits.
The once-celebrated greatest beauty of Jiangnan became a homeless girl with no one to rely on, someone anyone could bully.
With no other choice, she went to the capital and sought shelter under the roof of Prince Yu's manor.
Who could have guessed that there she would attract the attention of that good-for-nothing young playboy?
At first, Qin Xuan thought Shen Ruan had latched onto his family to climb the social ladder.
Later, at the Imperial College, he made things difficult for her at every turn and humiliated her.
But when he saw the little girl weeping so pitifully, he inexplicably softened.
Qin Xuan knew he had fallen into the hands of a little girl. From then on, all the students at the Imperial College saw the playboy heir who once rode and sang through the streets corner Shen Ruan, the orphan of the Shen family, in a classroom. He kissed the corner of her eye and coaxed her: Be good, don't cry. You can hit me.
Everyone: Am I seeing things?!
In short, this is the long road of a haughty young heir pursuing his wife. It's also a story about him getting proved wrong again and again.
At first, when Qin Xuan learned that he and Shen Ruan had been promised to each other as children, he made a scene and refused to acknowledge it.
Later, when Qin Xuan realized Shen Ruan wasn't so bad, he decided he could marry her as a secondary consort.
Later still, he said haughtily to Shen Ruan: I'll marry you into Prince Yu's manor with an eight-person sedan chair and ten miles of wedding gifts.
In the end, he clung to Shen Ruan pitifully: Honey, would it be all right if I married into your Shen family?
