The legitimate daughter of the Jiang family once became famous in the capital for a breathtaking dance with flowing water sleeves. Her graceful sleeves and elegant figure captured the heart of Sixth Prince Ji Yuan.
Months later, with the Jiang family facing ruin, Jiang Weiyi uses her past favor to pressure the Crown Prince into protecting her family's safety.

Crown Prince Ji Shu is a man of impeccable character. He spent five years as a hostage in Nanyan to save the country and is revered by all.
Yet his Crown Princess is the legitimate daughter of the declining Jiang family.
Those around him see the situation clearly and urge the Crown Prince to be wary of Jiang Yuzhu.
Looking at the obedient, radiant young woman before him, Ji Shu asks gently, "Qianqian, everyone says you married me out of expediency. Tell them we're truly in love, won't you?"
Jiang Weiyi's breath catches. For a moment, she's back in that terrifying dream.
Steadying her uneven breathing, she denies it. "We really are... in love."

After Jiang Weiyi enters the Eastern Palace, she often suffers from nightmares. In her dreams, Ji Shu's white robes are stained with blood, and the black bricks of the Golden Throne Hall are indistinguishable from the blood covering them.
Regret and fear overwhelm her. At this critical juncture, she decides to fake her death and escape.
Her escape plan goes smoothly, and the palace gates are within reach.
But when traitors launch a coup within the palace, Jiang Weiyi is trapped in front of the North Palace Gate.
As she falls, the face that comes into view is one she never expected to see, filled with hatred and fury.
The shock on Jiang Weiyi's face is unmistakable, and Ji Shu suddenly feels a surge of ruthlessness.
He crushes his wife's jade hairpin. The pain of the broken jade cutting into her flesh can't begin to suppress the bone-deep ache chilling his heart.
"Three days and three nights in the North Palace dungeon, and you were still hoping Ji Yuan would come save you?"
"You're my wife. I'm the only one who can protect you. When will you understand that?"
[Male lead's perspective]
Only after Jiang Weiyi sought Ji Yuan's help the moment she was in danger did Ji Shu finally understand what it meant to marry out of expediency, and what it meant to be in love.
But he stubbornly refuses to accept it. He wants Jiang Weiyi to admit that he is her husband.
