A fallen noblewoman, a scheming black lotus x a loyal, dark-hearted man with a kind heart
"You have no family backing you, so learn to behave." Just days after their wedding, he scorned her. Months later, he went even further, making her kneel outside the ancestral hall on a snowy night. By the time his mother rescued her, she was delirious with cold and her knees were raw and bloody. Gao Xuan merely said, "I'll trouble Mother to look after my new bride."
When his concubine caused her second child to be stillborn, she lay pale and weak in bed. Gao Xuan still defended his concubine, all to keep the Grand Princess from going after her. The Grand Princess was so furious that she gave a mocking laugh and fanned herself. "Enough, enough. Second Madam's generosity could swallow mountains and rivers."
When spring winds swept through again, he refused to do anything that night, afraid she would have to suffer through childbirth once more.
After little Yu went missing and was found, Xiao Yinqiu insisted on divorcing him. Gao Xuan refused. "Do you think you can come and go from the Chancellor's residence as you please? Or does your Duke's residence take in sons-in-law?"
Later, when a young lady said a few careless words, her father was hung over the gates of the residence and whipped until he repeatedly begged for mercy. The man sitting in a chair, drinking tea, simply blew away the foam on its surface and said, "How noisy." When the emperor heard about it, he summoned him to the palace and asked just one question: "How is Second Madam?" The mad dog was furious, and the consequences were naturally dire.
The next day, all that remained in Xiao Yinqiu's mind was: "He still loves you. You're not getting away, even if he is the emperor."
