Pei Qingyao was taught from childhood to value benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and integrity. She had always believed that good and evil would be rewarded in kind, but her husband, the King of Yue, was constantly shattering her worldview. He murdered his father and brothers and climbed to the throne over their blood. He was headstrong and often drove his ministers to plead with him by threatening to die. His erratic ways left the harem resorting to every trick in the book to avoid being summoned... Worst of all, in the third year of their marriage, he sent his troops to destroy her kingdom and captured her father. By all the usual rules of the story, they should have been locked in a struggle of love and hate, but somehow their relationship had taken a strange turn...
King of Yue, proudly: "Queen, look. This is the realm I conquered for you."
Pei Qingyao, speechless: "...Wasn't this realm mine to begin with?"
Everyone, covering their faces: "I hate to admit that this shameless man is our king."
