Everyone in Shengyang City knew that the Song Emperor's youngest daughter, Song Wan'er, had fallen for Zhao Feng'an, the hostage prince of Zhao.

Song Wan'er had been pampered since childhood and was as lovely and radiant as a peach blossom.

Yet for Zhao Feng'an, she was willing to set aside her dignity as a princess and visit him every day, all for a single glance of attention.

Even though he was only a hostage from the weak state of Zhao, and even though he could barely protect himself in the Great Song.

Some felt she deserved better, but Song Wan'er only smiled and said, "Feng'an is just a little cold by nature. He has a good heart, and I'm happy to do this for him."

The Song Emperor could not bear to see his daughter suffer, and finally accepted Zhao Feng'an, making him her prince consort.

What no one expected was that three years later, Zhao Feng'an would collude with Zhao from within, and the Zhao army would break through Shengyang City's gates.

On the day the city fell, Song Wan'er climbed the wall in the red wedding dress she had worn three years earlier. Facing Zhao Feng'an, standing silently in the distance, the devoted look in her eyes was swallowed by hatred. She said resolutely, "Zhao Feng'an, I have nothing to say to you. I ask only one thing: let my life buy the lives of everyone in this city."

With that, she leapt from the towering city wall, her scarlet wedding dress cutting through the air like a streak of flame.

Song Wan'er never saw Zhao Feng'an, usually so cold and composed, running toward her from afar, his eyes bloodshot and his face stricken with panic.

When Song Wan'er opened her eyes again, she discovered she had returned to the day she first met Zhao Feng'an.

She was once again the carefree little princess of Song.

At the banquet this time, Song Wan'er did not look at Zhao Feng'an even once, and so she failed to notice the fiery gaze he fixed on her.

Upcoming novel: My Substitute Little Sister Faked Her Death and Disappeared

The Liu family, once the wealthiest family in Shengyang City, had flourished for over a century before collapsing overnight.

After her family fell into ruin, the Liu family's youngest daughter, Liu Ruoxi, delicate and lovely as a flower, ended up in the pleasure quarter, singing at Xiangyuan House. She was later bought out by Pei Ziqian, heir to the household of Pei, the current Minister of Revenue, and brought to the Pei estate.

Pei Ziqian was every bit the gentleman his name suggested: refined, handsome, courteous, and mild-mannered.

Everyone said Second Miss Liu was lucky. Her family had fallen on hard times, but she had been rescued by the heir, and now lived in the Pei estate as his concubine.

Only Liu Ruoxi herself knew the truth: Pei Ziqian and her older sister, Liu Ruoyun, had been childhood sweethearts, but never married. Three years ago, Liu Ruoyun had married far away in Zhao. Now Pei Ziqian was simply treating Liu Ruoxi as her sister's substitute.

So she kept to her role as a substitute, obedient and sensible, devoting herself to serving the heir. By day, she kept him company as he read; by night, she warmed his bed and tended to his comfort.

Two years later, news arrived that her sister had been widowed. Pei Ziqian promptly decided to set out for Zhao and bring Liu Ruoyun back.

Before he left, Liu Ruoxi showed no displeasure. She smiled as she made all the arrangements for his journey.

A month later, Pei Ziqian returned from Zhao with Liu Ruoyun, only to hear that Liu Ruoxi had already passed away.

Pei Ziqian's usual pride and composure shattered. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he could no longer hide his barely restrained madness.

1. The male lead loves only the female lead, from beginning to end.

2. He appears refined, but is actually a madman. Later, he takes her by force.

3. One true pairing, happy ending.

Theme: Love is hope.
