An innocent man can be guilty just for possessing a treasure.

Overnight, the Murong family, one of Chang'an's four great clans, was wiped out. As the years passed, everything that had belonged to the Murongs was swallowed up by the other three families.

Revenge.

Zhongli Rong will never forget the three days and nights she spent alone in a mass grave, waiting to die. The bloody scenes that haunt her dreams every night remind her that finding the mastermind is now her only wish.

She will take back everything that belongs to her.

*

It is widely said in Chang'an that the eldest daughter of the Zhongli family looks more and more like the Murong family's late beauty, who died many years ago, except for the ugly birthmark on her face.

After an unexpected drunken mishap, she is betrothed to Su Chengyun, the young general famed throughout the land, making countless noblewomen in Chang'an green with envy.

But Zhongli Rong herself is troubled. All she wants is to avenge her family, yet she spends every day caught in a romantic battlefield, pursued by four men:

The young general, famous from an early age;

Her exceptionally talented brother;

The dashing, carefree young nobleman;

The gentle, devoted prince.

The four men spend their days getting jealous of one another, but Zhongli Rong never gives it much thought, keeping her mind fixed on revenge. Only when they all confess to her one after another at her eighteenth birthday celebration does she finally realize: Oh, so they all like me!

[Marriage first, love later / Winning over his wife after marriage / Sweet romance / Healing each other]

Xu Zhihua is the timid, meek daughter of a fifth-rank official's concubine, blessed with a lovely face.

Her father wants to use her in a political marriage to win over the powerful.

Sheng Rong is a notorious playboy in Chang'an.

But because his grandfather is a decorated war hero, the Sheng family was granted the title of prince, and before his death, his grandfather passed the title on to him.

Though they are as different as heaven and earth, the two are forced together.

On their wedding night, he doesn't come home, and she becomes the laughingstock of all Chang'an.

She knows Sheng Rong doesn't like her and isn't happy about the marriage.

So after they wed, she does her best to please him, but just when she thinks their relationship is improving, everything falls apart.

Xu Zhihua doesn't know why, but she becomes even more afraid to bother him and simply does what is expected of her.

To her surprise, Sheng Rong starts spending night after night in her room.

On the eve of the imperial examinations, she goes to a temple to pray for Sheng Rong's success. There, his childhood friend Song Qingqiu appears.

As Song Qingqiu holds her hand with deep affection in his eyes, Sheng Rong suddenly appears, his face dark with anger.

Sheng Rong takes her home and pins her against the bed. His affectionate peach-blossom eyes turn red, and his fingers brush her slender neck as he softly murmurs her childhood name: "Wanwan, I'm jealous."

*

Sheng Rong was never as loved by his father as his older brother was, especially after his mother died and that woman entered the household.

Even as a boy, he understood that he could only survive by pretending to be a dissipated playboy.

Marrying that concubine's daughter didn't really make a difference to him.

But when he sees Xu Zhihua, who is terrified, still daring to stand up to his concubine for his sake, he suddenly thinks that having this little "bunny" by his side might be rather nice.

Theme: I like you not because of your looks or status, but simply because you're you.
