After Chu Tangling arrived in the capital, she decided to marry the Xie family's legitimate son, Xie Zhixian, in accordance with her aunt's wishes.

On a spring night, as welcome rain fell, beneath a lakeside pavilion.
Xie Zhixian looked at the woman who had come alone in the darkness, his gaze cool. "You and I can never marry!"
If marriage couldn't be entered into willingly by both parties, Chu Tangling would rather not marry at all.
Knowing he had wronged his cousin, Xie Zhixian was determined to find her a suitable match.
Who could have guessed that after looking high and low, he wouldn't find a single man worthy of her?

A few months later, the Xie family prepared the gifts for a bride leaving home, and the wedding was just around the corner.
Yet Xie Zhixian pinned his betrothed cousin against the pavilion. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the verge of losing control. "A-Tang, don't marry him, please?"
