He Mingshe was trapped in her own courtyard, unable to escape, on the morning of her wedding.
On the day they first met, Shen You brought her the head of a drunkard, frightening her so badly she had nightmares night after night. From then on, he even moved into her courtyard, staying by her side day and night.
Shen You not only restricted her freedom, but threatened to kill her fiancé.
Everyone in her family feared this scourge. They let him manipulate and humiliate her however he pleased, and nobody dared say a word against him.
Shen You had once been the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong. During an internal uprising, he was ordered south to Wuchang to quell the rebellion. On the day he entered the city, he saw the daughter of a colleague about to marry a rebel.
Shen You glanced at He Mingshe with disdain and came up with a plan: with such a delicate beauty in his hands, surely her rebel fiancé would walk right into his trap.

He Mingshe: Several months have passed, and I still haven't escaped Shen You's clutches. Although this man parades in front of me every day and is terribly annoying, he's not as ferocious as he was when he first arrived. Now he even tries to get my attention and asks me to talk to him.
He seems pretty strong, and I could put that to good use. I wonder if throwing myself into his arms would work? Let's try...
Shen You: Ever since I embarrassed myself in front of her that day, every time I see her, my heart feels ready to leap out of my chest and put on a show. As long as she's happy, I want to agree to anything she says...
