Chancellor Yue Weixing was renowned throughout the court for his extraordinary decisiveness and swift, forceful manner. His thunderous methods never failed when it came to handling affairs of state.
This same Yue Weixing married a lovely, beautiful woman in a grand, lavish wedding unlike any other. But shortly after the wedding, his wife suddenly disappeared.
Yue Weixing brought every resource at his disposal to bear, but all his efforts came to nothing.
Under the increasingly stern pressure of the Chancellor's anxiety, the entire court trod carefully, afraid of angering the man who wielded such immense power.
At last, on a stormy autumn day, someone reported that a woman who looked remarkably like his wife had apparently been spotted in a remote village far from the capital.
But the woman seemed to be married.
Yue Weixing arrived at a dilapidated house. A refined-looking man opened the door and asked, "May I ask who you're looking for?"
Then a familiar voice called from inside, "Dear, who is it?"
Through the half-open door, Yue Weixing saw the wife he had longed for day and night.
His heart clenched, and an uncontrollable shudder rose from deep within him, spreading quickly through his whole body.
"I've come for medical treatment." Before coming, Yue Weixing had already learned that the man was a doctor.
Once inside, Yue Weixing sat down, his gaze repeatedly drifting toward the kitchen, where his wife was busy boiling water to serve him.

Tan Yanhuai carried a teapot, ready to pour tea for their guest.
But when she saw what was happening in the room, her smile froze. The teapot nearly slipped from her hands and hit the floor.
Her husband had somehow fallen to the ground. Blood slowly welled from his chest, staining his clothes.
The man who had just claimed to be there for medical treatment now gripped a long sword that glinted coldly.
Fresh blood dripped from its tip, a stark contrast with his refined, gentle appearance.
Yet his voice remained as gentle as ever, as if it were all no more than a trivial farce. "Don't be afraid, my lady."

Note:
The female lead really did marry the doctor.
A very old-school, coercive romance.
