Ming Shu was beautiful and graceful, the only daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. She grew up cherished and doted on by everyone. In the year she turned seventeen, the Ming family's true daughter, who had been lost for years, was found and brought home.
Rumor had it that Ming Shu was about to be cast out of the family, becoming the laughingstock of the capital overnight. Even her engagement to the new emperor would be called off.
Ming Shu thought things couldn't possibly get worse. She was wrong: the worst was still to come.
Shen Lu, that cold-blooded, ruthless, vicious terror of the Shen family, had coveted her for two years but held back because she was engaged to the new emperor. Now he had come to claim her.
The regent, Shen Lu, wielded power over all. He was The Outcast, second only to one and above everyone else, and even the young emperor had to show him respect. He appeared aloof and refined, like a noble orchid or a tree of jade, but was in truth violent, ruthless, and unpredictable.
Ming Shu had no wish to become a plaything in Shen Lu's hands. All she wanted was to escape. Unfortunately, she had been delicate and sickly since childhood, gasping for breath after just a few steps. She was a frail, pampered beauty who lived on medicine, and the Ming family had already written her off after finding their true daughter.
Unwilling to offend Shen Lu, the Ming family resorted to any means necessary to deliver her into his hands.
Everyone waited to see when this delicate flower would be tortured to death.
In the end, all they saw was Ming Shu spoiled until she could do whatever she pleased, even winning the highest and most exalted position: empress.
-- You were my long-planned desire.
[A hypocritical gentleman, two-faced, mad regent VS a sickly beauty, the false daughter abandoned by her family]
