Jiang Wanning endured two things in her life that crushed her to dust:
First, the fall of her kingdom. She watched helplessly as her father was hacked to death on the throne by rebels, while her royal brothers were pushed into the furnace one by one and reduced to cold ashes.
Second, a forced marriage. As a discarded daughter of a fallen kingdom, she refused to obey the new emperor's order to take her as a concubine, so she was forcibly betrothed to the second prince, who was foolish by nature and slow to mature mentally.
Marrying a man like that meant her life was ruined.
But she refused to accept it. She wiped the blood from her mouth, brushed the dirt off her clothes, and struggled to crawl out of the mire.
Even though she knew from the start that her husband, who seemed as stupid as a lamb, was actually the wildest, most ferocious wolf of all.

Xiao Jiu'an had spent half his life pretending to be mad and foolish, acting cautiously and seeking nothing more than to get by. Yet he never expected that he would give everything for a woman.
Even if it made him a laughingstock to the world.
He was perfectly content to marry a discarded daughter of a fallen kingdom.
Who could blame him? He had coveted her for so long.
They first met at a banquet attended by the entire imperial court. The new king openly harassed her, declaring that he would take her as his consort.
Xiao Jiu'an went mad right there in court and hurled a wine pot at the emperor's face. Afterwards, he was sentenced to eighty strokes of the cane and beaten until he was covered in blood.
The woman came to visit him and asked, "Why go so far? Why risk defying His Majesty and making such a dangerous move?"
He grabbed her hand and smiled, lips pressed together. "What can I say? That beast is always leering at you."
*Marriage first, love later / HE / 1v1. A cool, determined princess of a fallen kingdom vs. a crazy, theatrical wolf-dog of a powerful minister.
Theme: Face hardships without fear, rely on yourself, and remember that women can hold up half the sky.
We met for the first time in the wind and snow, and we made a lifelong commitment in the wind and snow.
