Han Ling divorced at twenty-four.
Zhao Ying returned home at twenty.
All the noble young ladies of the capital let out the breath they'd been holding for four years: finally.
Who was Han Ling?
The grandson of the Grand Secretariat's chief minister of the Great Zhou, and the youngest Vice Minister of Revenue.
Before long, he would probably become the youngest minister in the history of the Great Zhou.
He was as bright and refined as the moon, peerless in elegance.
Who could have guessed that at twenty, he would marry Zhao Ying, the daughter of a seventh-rank official?
How many noble young ladies had ground their teeth in envy?
Everyone said, "See? They don't come from equal families. Can a forcibly plucked melon taste sweet? It won't last!"
Four years later, this marriage, which had displeased half the capital, finally came to an end.
Countless people celebrated, all except Han Ling himself.
Who was Han Ling?
A venomous snake who struck fear into his rivals.
Some suspected there wasn't a trace of warmth beneath his gentle smile.
But no one knew that he, too, could be tender and affectionate.
Only with Zhao Ying.
Han Ling had calculated everything under heaven,
Yet never foresaw that Zhao Ying would divorce him,
Much less what Zhao Ying would do after the divorce...
"You're saying my wife is missing?"
Han Ling asked gently, with a smile that never reached his eyes.
For the first time, his servants saw their eternally warm and genial young master with dark eyes, cold as frost and snow.
A gentle-seeming heroine who is rebellious at heart vs. a seemingly refined and mild-mannered hero who is actually cold and obsessive.
A story of domestic life after marriage and the emotional exchanges between the leads, as well as a gentle woman with a rebellious spirit seeking equality and her sense of self.
