Everyone says the third daughter of the Chancellor's household, Yu He, has had a miserable life. After spending more than a decade away from home, she has only just been recognized and brought back, and now she has to marry Chang'an City's famous sickly man.
Yu He doesn't think so.
Aside from being frail, the sickly man is perfect: rich, powerful, and not long for this world.
All she has to do is wait for her husband to pass away soon, and then she can enjoy the good life as a young widow.
But life is full of surprises.
On their wedding day, the groom suddenly fell gravely ill and died that very night.
The prince's household had married her in to bring him good luck. They never imagined the bride would bring her husband bad luck instead.
Before the short-lived husband's seventh-day memorial had even passed, someone was already eager to take her life.
Yu He climbed out of her coffin in the middle of the night and, in her panic, ran into someone: her own handsome, refined younger brother-in-law.
The famous Young Lord Xie of Chang'an put an arm around his sister-in-law and smiled warmly. "Careful, Sister-in-law."
Yu He was busy staying alive, and busy getting entangled with her brother-in-law.
Until one day, the frail husband who should have been dead forever embraced her from behind, his voice choked with emotion.
"My lady, if he can, why can't I?"
Xie Ji thought Yu He was just a pawn in his hands. But in the dead of night, she mistook him for his late elder brother.
His delicate, pale-skinned little sister-in-law climbed into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes brimming with tears as she softly called him, "My dear Xie."
He began to harbor improper thoughts about his pawn.
No one knew that the Young Lord Xie, the man of countless Chang'an women's dreams, spent night after night holding a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, only able to fall asleep when his sister-in-law hummed to him.
He tossed and turned, thought long and hard, and spent day and night wondering how he could bring the delicious morsel before him back to his own nest.
