Third Prince Huan Junzhen is deeply devoted to her.

Wei Jingyan, eldest daughter of the Duke of Shen's household, is confident of it.

She gives the third prince everything she has, and he treats her with great respect.

Everyone in the capital says they are in love and a perfect match.

Until one day, she discovers the third prince secretly meeting with another woman.

For the first time, she sees the self-disciplined and proper prince break decorum and embrace that woman, smiling with a relaxed joy she has never seen before.

Only then does Wei Jingyan realize that someone else has reaped the rewards of all her efforts.

That night, as she reviews her plan to become empress, written on a sheet of white paper, she changes her mind.

This man won't do. The next prince will be more obedient.

But after she changes her target, the refined gentleman Huan Junzhen undergoes a dramatic change in temperament.

He blocks her way, leaning down with a sinister gaze, and says coldly, "If you want to be a widow, by all means, marry someone else."

**

Wei Jingyan, daughter of the Duke of Shen's household, loves him with all her heart. Huan Junzhen is certain of it.

With the duke's full support, he will have a much better chance at becoming heir to the throne, and he is happy to see things unfold that way.

But when he angers the emperor and suddenly falls out of favor, Wei Jingyan laughs and flirts with his sworn enemy, his brother who is in the emperor's good graces.

Cruelly toyed with by the woman he thought he had in the palm of his hand, Huan Junzhen experiences for the first time the bitter, unbearable ache of a heart pierced by needles.

The man who has always been courteous and well-mannered has spent years hiding his true self. Now his disguise is shattered, revealing his obsessive and cunning nature.

Whether her feelings are genuine or false, what belongs to him will never be given to anyone else, not even in death.

Everything has changed, and the tightly wound string inside Wen Xique finally snaps.

Four years ago, a young man in fine clothes rode his horse across her path, a roguish look on his face.

"Miss, I've taken a fancy to you. I'm going to marry you."

Four years later, a mighty general in full armor flings a banknote at her face, his expression dark and hard.

"Wen Xique, I'm buying you. You'll be my concubine."

Wen Xique understands that he resents her and wants to humiliate her.

But her family's bookstore has closed, her father is gravely ill, and she is short of money. With no other choice, she is carried in a small sedan chair to the Marquis of Jing'an's estate.

She once declared she would never become a concubine. Now, to make ends meet, she bends her principles and loses her pride.

That night, he is vicious. Gritting his teeth, he spits out the words like blood. "This is what you deserve for abandoning me back then. I'll never let you go for as long as I live."

Those days are gone, and her heart has grown cold.

It turns out it wasn't just her pride that was wounded, but also the love she had buried deep in her heart.
