[Tall, rugged man + beautiful, refined young lady]
Shang Mingyue, the Chancellor's legitimate daughter, is the most beautiful woman in the Great Ye.
Her fiance is Huo Huai, heir to the Duke's mansion, a thoroughly gentle and refined man.
Shang Mingyue is very pleased with her fiance, but she dislikes his rebellious, foreign-looking cousin, Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao is a general, tall and imposing. She has always felt that the way he looks at her is far from innocent.
Shang Mingyue thought she would marry Huo Huai and live a harmonious life together, blessed with children.
But overnight, Chancellor Shang was thrown into prison, and everyone avoided the family. Shang Mingyue went to the Duke's mansion to beg Huo Huai for help, only to find its gates firmly shut.
With no other choice, Shang Mingyue sought help from one of her father's old friends. But the man harbored vile intentions, and just as she was about to be violated, the man on top of her was suddenly kicked away.
In her panic, she saw a man as tall as a mountain standing before her.
Huo Xiao took off his outer robe and draped it over her. Looking at the tearful woman before him, he could no longer hold back his forbidden desire.
"Little sister-in-law, why not come to me to save your whole family?"

Huo Xiao had coveted his cousin's fiancee for a long time. Once he had tasted those tempting lips, he could never let them go.
But just as he lost himself in her tender embrace, Shang Mingyue ran away.
He had meant to punish her, but when his delicate flower finally fell into his arms, all his resentment melted into tenderness.
So he defied all opposition and took her as his bride by force.
