Before her true identity was exposed, Qiu Heng was the legitimate daughter of the Provincial Governor's household. She was outstanding in both looks and temperament, and every official's wife in Qingzhou knew she was destined to enter the palace as a consort.

But one afternoon, everything fell apart. She was an orphan who had impersonated someone else, and became the laughingstock of the entire household.

Unwilling to become a gift offered by the Provincial Governor's family, Qiu Heng used a clever scheme to leave and live a quiet life far from home.

Before Xiao Chen's maternal family fell into ruin, he was the most honored young lord in the entire Prince Xuan's household. The Princess Consort of Xuan was close with the Empress, and he was also the Crown Prince's study companion. His future seemed bright.

Until his maternal grandfather was defeated, his mother died, and he became a blind and crippled, useless young lord.

He was already of age, yet had no betrothed.

Until that day, he stood beneath the covered walkway, and she stood in the rain.

My Heart Is Yours, But I Only Ask That You Save It.

[Fake death and a pursuit to win her back, mutual secret love]

Zhuo Li lost her mother when she was young, but thankfully, her father and older brother doted on her.

Her older brother, Zhuo Heng, was gentle and refined. Whatever Zhuo Li wanted, he would find a way to get for her.

Zhuo Li thought her life would always go on that way. But as she grew older, her brother began avoiding her.

Zhuo Heng was handsome and talented in both civil and martial arts. He was a celebrated gentleman throughout the capital, the dream husband of countless young women.

Yet there was always a girl of unknown appearance by his side, keeping pace with him and calling him "Brother."

Zhuo Heng knew she was an orphan his parents had adopted when she was little. They were not related by blood, but were closer than blood relatives. He thought it would be wonderful if life could stay just as it was.

One day in the courtyard, Zhuo Li asked him what "the rites of Zhou Gong" meant. Zhuo Heng didn't know how to answer, so he hastily brushed the question aside and pretended not to understand.

That night, Zhuo Heng fell deep into a dream. In it, Zhuo Li wore a wedding dress, bowed with him at the altar, called him "husband," and performed the rites of Zhou Gong with him.

Zhuo Heng awoke in shock. After spending the whole night in the chilly breeze, he resolved to act as if it had never happened. But when he saw Zhuo Li again, the dream grew ever more vivid in his mind. He no longer dared look her in the eye and could only gradually distance himself, hoping to suppress his shameful thoughts.

But who could have guessed that Zhuo Li would one day disappear? Only then did Zhuo Heng realize: he could not simply watch from afar. Watching from afar meant giving her away. What he wanted was to keep Zhuo Li by his side, for the rest of their lives.
