Shen Huaiji and Ji Shuyi were in love with each other. When Shen Huaiji was sixteen, he followed his father to war. Before leaving, he and Ji Shuyi made a promise: two years later, when he returned victorious, he would marry her in a grand wedding.

But when the time came, Shen Huaiji was temporarily unable to return to the capital because he had to face the enemy. He was just about to write to Ji Shuyi to explain when news reached him that she was going to marry someone else.

And the man she was marrying was none other than his frail, sickly elder brother.

Shen Huaiji raced a thousand li home, determined to stop the wedding, but he was still too late.

The following spring, when Shen Huaiji returned to the capital in triumph, he saw the woman he had longed for, her hair now styled in a married woman's bun, standing serenely beside his brother. The two looked like a perfect match.

Shen Huaiji suddenly clenched his fists.

The eldest son of the Shen family, Shen Huaizhang, was learned and well-read, but unfortunately frail and sickly.

His half-brother, on the other hand, was bold and carefree, with a strong, healthy body. Shen Huaizhang seemed to get along well with his affectionate younger brother, but inside, his jealousy had grown twisted and ugly.

So while Shen Huaiji was away at war with their father, Shen Huaizhang schemed to take the woman he loved.

At first, Shen Huaizhang only did it to get back at Shen Huaiji. But after they married, he truly fell in love with Ji Shuyi.

Ji Shuyi was his wife. No one was going to take her away.

Later, the Shen brothers became bitter enemies.

Even if it meant breaking with his family, Shen Huaiji would take Ji Shuyi away.

She should have been his wife, and she could only ever be his wife.
