She gets out of breath when she walks because she was born frail. But her uncle and aunt call her a temptress. It's bad enough that they praise her to her face while insulting her behind her back. Now they've also set their sights on ruining her innocence. Their evil plan succeeded, and Qing Si not only lost her innocence, but also became pregnant. To stay alive and find a respectable family for her unborn child, she turned her attention to the noble in the household. He was the prestigious heir to the Duke of Fu, learned and upright. Qing Si tried every trick she could think of, but still failed to win his favor. She had no choice but to give up and resolve to accept the advances of a scholar who lived on the back street. At noon the next day, Qing Si was feeding fish by the riverside when someone suddenly pushed her into the water from behind. The rushing water flooded her nose. Just as she was losing all hope, someone grabbed her firmly around the waist and pulled her out of the water in a matter of moments. She blinked her hazy almond eyes and could just make out the smile at the nobleman's lips. Then he leaned close to her ear and said: "I heard you exchanged betrothal tokens with that scholar?" "Now you can only marry me." After marrying the nobleman, Qing Si thought their marriage had been nothing more than an accident. Until one day, she accidentally knocked a carved rosewood box off the display stand. Letters, a silver hairpin, rouge, and a brocade handkerchief spilled out across the floor. The letters were ones she'd written by hand when she used to show the nobleman her affection. The silver hairpin and rouge had both once belonged to her dressing box. The handkerchief embroidered with the character for "Si" was unmistakably the one she'd lost two years ago when she lost her innocence. [Content warning] The male lead is genuinely obsessive and thinks in ways unlike ordinary people. In other words, he's insane. The heroine is a flirtatious beauty who doesn't realize she's flirting.
