The synopsis for The Peach Blossom of Ill Omen: Fake Little White Rabbit × True Gentleman
The unserious version:
Forced to marry a dead man.
The dead man comes back to life.
What else can she do? Obviously, cling to his coattails.
The serious version: Jiang Qingyue is a noblewoman from a powerful family, but her life is far from happy. Her stepmother bullies her, and her scumbag father ignores her. Crown Prince Xie Zheng dies without ever marrying. After her stepmother sets a scheme in motion, Jiang Qingyue is forced into a ghost marriage with him.
Some people think it serves her right, while others pity her misfortune.
Everyone who knows what happened thinks she is doomed to die. But inside the tomb, Jiang Qingyue pushes open the coffin and sits up, delighted. She is free.
Just as she is about to leave, a noise comes from the crown prince's coffin beside her. Caught off guard, Jiang Qingyue locks eyes with the supposedly dead Crown Prince Xie Zheng, who has come back to life. Their gazes meet, and Jiang Qingyue comes up with a plan. "Husband, is this the underworld?"
Xie Zheng is unusually bewildered. After a long silence, he says, "Probably not."
This isn't the underworld, and I'm not your husband.
Each has their own agenda, but a twist of fate sends them on the road together.
Jiang Qingyue longs for power so she can avenge her mother. Thinking Xie Zheng has influence, she follows him, curries favor, seduces him on purpose, confides in him, and weaves a nest of tenderness around him.
But Xie Zheng has already given up the power of the heir apparent, and he can't give Jiang Qingyue what she wants. With no use for him, Jiang Qingyue ruthlessly cuts ties.
Then Xie Zheng reclaims his position as crown prince...
"Only power in your own hands truly matters."
Theme: The warmth of history.

It looks a bit awkward; the large punctuation marks are often missed.
