Synopsis
The Retired Emperor once held Wei Zizhen on his lap and told her to choose one of his grandsons to be her husband.
Wei Zizhen chose the fourth prince, who was about her age.
But no one expected that after suddenly falling gravely ill, she would become frail and lose her sight.
Once the most beautiful young lady in the capital, Miss Wei became a laughingstock, mocked behind her back as the little blind girl.
The Empress Dowager took pity on Wei Zizhen and brought her into the palace to care for her.
Everyone knew that the fourth prince, Gu Xiyi, disliked his blind fiancée and wanted to call off the engagement unilaterally.
But Wei Zizhen was so pitiful that the Empress Dowager refused to allow it.
The young man was mischievous by nature, and whenever he saw Wei Zizhen, he would tease her without restraint.
The pale, delicate beauty kept falling and shedding tears, a sight that made everyone around her ache for her.
Everyone, that is, except Gu Xiyi.

In Wei Zizhen's mind, Gu Xiyi gradually split into two different people.
One was the Gu Xiyi she saw in public: he hated her, despised her, and was always teasing her. He was like a raging fire that kept burning her.
The other was the Gu Xiyi she saw in private: attentive and patient, indulging her in everything, always stroking her head, changing her bandages, and soothing her in a gentle voice.
Until one night, she was woken from a drowsy sleep by the sounds of scuffling and arguing outside the hall.
"Second Brother, you actually covet Fourth Brother's fiancée? Have you no shame? Absolutely shameless!"
"Third Brother, you really outdid yourself. You and Fourth Brother are twins, all right. Now the elder brother has to come comfort his younger brother's fiancée in the middle of the night."
"Stop arguing. Grandfather said back then that Zizhen could choose whom to marry into the imperial family. Since Fourth Brother isn't willing, what harm is there in us elder brothers sharing the burden?"
One-line summary: The blind beauty can never tell people apart, so everyone gets a turn comforting her.
Content notes:
1. A universally adored blind beauty heroine. Extremely Mary Sue.
