Sang Wan's engagement to Yin Siya was arranged by their grandfathers in a casual conversation when they were children.
But later, the Yin family rose to prominence while the Sang family steadily declined.
Hoping to climb the social ladder, Sang Wan's father brought up the old arrangement again and used it to pressure the Yin family into keeping their promise.

The Yin heir is cold and ruthless, with brutal methods. He's not someone to mess with. He changes women like clothes, and none has ever stayed by his side for more than three days.
Rumor has it he has unusual tastes. Ever since he came of age, he's never been short of women, and women who covet the position of Mrs. Yin are as plentiful as fish crossing a river.
Even if he is to marry, it cannot be because someone forced him.
Everyone knows the eldest Sang daughter has a colorful romantic history, so the Yin family demands a virgin bride, hoping to make them back down.
Unwilling to give up, Sang Wan's father makes the innocent, naive Sang Wan take her older sister's place as the bride.

Everyone in high society knows all about Young Master Yin's scandalous affairs. He's a cruel, sinister man, and they say he loves to torment people.
Everyone waits for Yin Siya to tire of his pretty little beauty and cruelly cast her aside. But at a masquerade ball, they witness with their own eyes how possessively Young Master Yin pulls her into his territory.
"Wanwan, don't smile at other men like that."
The pretty young woman blushes, her skin fair and radiant, her eyes full of admiration for him. She looks as delicate and bashful as a water lily, nothing like someone who has been abused.
The whole city is in an uproar: the playboy has actually been tamed by his pretty little beauty.

At first, in Sang Wan's eyes, Yin Siya equals womanizer plus domineering bully.
It is only after they marry that Sang Wan understands rumors are only half true.
The womanizer part is false. The domineering part is a little bit true...
