The heir of Marquis Guangping is exceptionally talented and handsome, with just one flaw marring his otherwise perfect image: he is impotent. This has also given rise to a secret, unspeakable fetish.
He takes in beautiful women in large numbers, then orders them to seduce the strong, virile sons of powerful families in the capital. This is how he satisfies his peculiar desire and manages to make the act possible.
The beauties usually succeed, but there is one man who makes them all retreat without even trying.
Xiao Ye Lin, Marquis of Changping, is peerlessly handsome and noble in bearing, yet cold as ice and famously indifferent to women.
His status is so exalted that even the heir of Marquis Guangping must address him as Uncle.
With his taboo desire still unsatisfied, the heir bears a grudge. He sets out to find an unparalleled beauty, determined to bring down this lofty nobleman who looks down on everyone.

On a warm spring day, Xiao Ye Lin, Marquis of Changping, accepts an invitation to a banquet at Marquis Guangping's country estate.
One of the heir's concubines is being chased by him and accidentally collides with the marquis.
The concubine is strikingly beautiful, with clear tears on her cheeks, startled-deer eyes, snow-white skin, and a slender waist. She is utterly winsome and delicate.
Yet as everyone kneels to apologize, she boldly catches hold of Marquis Guangping's sleeve.
The golden, ornate patterns embroidered on his black robe set off her slender, pale hand, making her look all the more fragile and helpless, all the more timid and pitiful.
Xiao Ye Lin frowns in displeasure, then speaks coldly to help her out of the predicament.
Two days earlier, at her husband's bidding, this woman had climbed into his bed.
Her husband had been just outside the wall, yet she had acted as boldly as she did today, tears in her eyes as she tried to kiss him.
That night, Xiao Ye Lin did not push her away.

Low-born, gentle, self-serving heroine x powerful, celibate, unhinged nobleman
The blurb contains many red herrings.
The heroine and the heir have no actual marriage. While she maintains her status as his concubine, she and the male lead do not cross any lines.
One-on-one, both chaste, happy ending
