Ming Heng has lost her memory.
When she wakes, the only person by her side is a man who has stayed up day and night to care for her.
The man smiles with gentle kindness. "A-Heng, I'm your husband."
Yet for some inexplicable reason, Ming Heng feels an aversion to him.
Though his eyes are full of hurt, he gives her all the time she needs to adjust.
The man is considerate and gentle. Even when they become intimate, he guides her tenderly, helping her gradually grow accustomed to it. Only at the very end does he reveal his domineering, possessive side, as if he means to devour her whole.
But after losing control, he apologizes and returns to being the gentle gentleman he was before.
As the days pass, Ming Heng gradually gets used to this life. She even has the absurd thought that it wouldn't be so bad if she never regained her memories.
Until she remembers everything.
The man is not her husband at all. He's her older brother, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Wei Yan.
He used to call her his little sister with a tender smile even as he shackled her with golden chains, imprisoned her in the palace, and took his fill of her day and night.
"Little sister, you'd better not think about leaving me. Otherwise, I'll kill you and then take my own life. We'll be buried together in the same coffin, and at least that way we'll never be parted, in this life or the next."

He personally taught her to write and do arithmetic, taught her to read and observe proper manners, and stayed by her side through one year after another.
Yet she told him with a bright smile that she was going to marry.
