[Spoiled, willful beauty × scheming, obsessive, unhinged younger imperial brother]
Chu Yingyu is the emperor's most beloved Princess Runing. Treasured and pampered since childhood, she has grown up in fine clothes and luxury, becoming arrogant and spoiled.
When she is twelve, she encounters a slave who trains lions and tigers at the imperial retreat. The young slave lets one of his lions startle her royal carriage, and she gives him a brutal beating with her whip.
Born to a noble family, she looks down on lowly slaves. But that despised animal trainer gradually rises to become the commander of the Imperial Guard, and she opposes him at every turn.
But she never dreams that she isn't the emperor's biological daughter. When her true identity is exposed, the emperor flies into a rage, picks a consort for her at random, and hastily marries her off.
Chu Yingyu's husband is debauched and keeps a harem of concubines. He does nothing but beat and abuse her, and she falls from the clouds into the mud, suffering through every day.
Meanwhile, the young slave she once looked down on is revealed to be the emperor's youngest son, who had been lost outside the palace. After saving the emperor, he is taken back into the royal family and enfeoffed as Prince Jin, becoming a rising star in the capital.
Chu Yingyu's useless husband offers her to Chu Ji to curry favor with him.
Everyone in the capital knows that Chu Yingyu and Chu Ji have a history of conflict. They all sigh, certain that Princess Runing has no chance of surviving in the hands of that living devil.
A year later, the people of the capital, waiting for a spectacle, are surprised to discover that Princess Runing is not only alive, but has grown more voluptuous.
No one knows that beneath her loose dress, her belly is growing day by day.
