Jiang Li had no parents and didn't begin to remember anything until she was thirteen. In a daze, she was adopted.
She had never imagined that one day she'd take money to marry a sickly heir in Jiang Yao's place, as a bride to bring him good fortune.
Jiang Yao said that the kindness of being raised outweighed everything, and besides, marrying into the prince's household as an orphan was an incredible stroke of luck.
But everyone wants different things. All Jiang Li wanted was to spend every last bit of her savings to keep that man's life from slipping away.

Zhao Chong, heir to Prince Zhao, was frail and willful, spoiled from childhood, and rumored not to live past twenty-two.
More than anything, he hated inconvenience, vulgarity, and seductiveness.
Jiang Li just happened to love money more than life and have a stunningly beautiful face.
He made her sleep on the floor and treated her like a maid. He even made her take the place of his true love as a bandit hostage in the wilderness.
Zhao Chong thought this was the price the mercenary woman had to pay for trying to marry into the nobility.
Until...
The day he realized he had fallen helplessly in love with Jiang Li
was the day Jiang Li asked for a divorce.
Later, Qin Chong crippled his own hand and risked his life to win Jiang Li's favor, but she was smiling like a flower at another man.
