Qin Wan and Jiang Lan were betrothed as children. She grew up to be just the sort of woman he liked, waiting for the day he would come to marry her.
But on the day she came of age, terrible news arrived: Jiang Lan was dead!
The betrothal gifts had already been accepted, however, so Qin Wan had no choice but to marry into the Jiang family. Her husband was simply no longer Jiang Lan, but his elder brother, Jiang Yuting.
Jiang Yuting held power over the entire court and had a vicious temper. Whenever Qin Wan saw him, she hardly dared breathe.
She could not imagine spending the rest of her life with a man like that.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuting was busy with official duties and rarely came home. Even when he did, he slept in his study.
More importantly, he did not like her either.
Qin Wan breathed a little easier, thinking she would simply let the days drag by in dull silence.
Who could have guessed that Jiang Yuting would start coming home more and more often? Before long, he was spending the night in their bedroom now and then. In the end, he moved back from his study for good, keeping her up night after night.
Later, as Qin Wan looked over the shops and land deeds her husband had handed over, along with his astonishing monthly allowance, she was ready to put the past behind her and make a life with him.
Then Jiang Lan came back.
He pulled Qin Wan into his arms, weeping with joy. "Wanwan, I came back from the dead because I couldn't bear to leave you!"

Jiang Yuting married his late younger brother's fiancée only because he was following their father's orders. He had no feelings for her at all.
After the wedding, he never thought he had to do a husband's duty. He either slept in his study or simply stayed away from home.
But at some point, his wife's lovely features and soft figure began appearing in his thoughts again and again.
Eventually, he swallowed his pride and tried every way he could to win her over. At last, he claimed the beauty for himself.
Just as he thought they had found wedded bliss, his late younger brother Jiang Lan returned.
Watching the former lovers clasp hands and gaze at each other through tears, he tasted jealousy for the first time.
One-on-one romance, happy ending
**********Coming soon: The Prince Doesn't Want to Soothe His Wife Today Either**********
After the Pingkang Marquis household fell, it was stripped of its title and possessions overnight. Every eligible man in the capital eagerly waited for a chance to pluck the Luo family's lovely flower.
One rainy day, Luo Zheng was chased and teased by a group of men. Gritting her teeth, she ran beneath the covered entrance of Prince Chen's residence to take shelter.
The young woman was soaked through and shivering with cold, but she stared without blinking at the vermilion doors.
Would he save her?

Prince Chen, Xie Yin, was ambitious, stern, and ruthless. He had never softened his heart for anyone.
The sole exception was the second young lady of the Pingkang Marquis household.
That day, standing in a pavilion, he saw the young woman drenched, her thin silk clothes clinging to her skin and revealing the graceful curves beneath.
Remembering how he had once offered her his whole heart as a youth, only for her to trample it without a care, his eyes turned cold. He turned to leave, but after just two steps, he pinched the bridge of his nose and ordered someone to bring her inside the prince's residence.
Xie Yin never claimed to be a good person. He thought that once she was inside, he could torment her as he pleased and avenge what she had done to him.
Who knew that he would somehow become connected to her pain?
When she furrowed her brows, his heart hurt. When she shed a tear, it nearly killed him.
The young prince could only frown and comfort her day after day.
And he kept it up for the rest of his life.
