Hateful, obsessive heroine x proud, cunning young heir
Orphan Jiang Mingyue is forced to marry off in place of a princess. Unwilling to go to the barbarian lands, she secretly gathers gold and jewels and flees. On the way, she runs into the young heir of the Zhao Duke's household.
The young heir passes her off as a merit to his name, binds her hand and foot, and escorts her back to the palace.
Zhao Zhiheng was born into a prestigious family. He's unrestrained, ruthless, and mercurial.
Jiang Mingyue fears and despises him, wishing she could kill him, yet has no choice but to rely on him.
In the eighth month of autumn, while the plants are still green, Zhao Zhiheng receives an order: escort Princess Mingyue on her marriage journey to the northern frontier.
The road is long, the journey arduous, but at least he has a captivating companion.
She doesn't want to go north and begs him to set her free. He agrees.
The beauty offers herself to him, and he gladly indulges in a night of passion.
Little Mingyue, you don't know that the day you reach the border will be the day you die.
Their passionate nights go on without end. Jiang Mingyue spends the journey currying favor with him, dreaming of escaping as soon as possible.
Until, on the night before they cross the border, the young heir holds a three-foot sword to her and asks her to take her own life.
“You're no longer a virgin. How could the prince let you get away with that?”
Years later, the cavalry of her homeland invades. She is captured, and he is now commander of the six armies.
Jiang Mingyue, now a married woman, crawls on the ground with a baby in her arms, her graceful figure bent low as she begs him to spare the child for old times' sake.
His cloud-patterned brocade boot presses against her chin. He sneers, “You shameless whore! If you'd died back then, I might even have given you a grand burial.”
Their old vows still ring in her ears, but now she is as low as dirt, at his mercy.
Reading guide:
1. The child is the male lead's.
2. The female lead has questionable morals.
Theme: I have illuminated the boundless world, clear as water, and once shone upon even the tiniest speck of dust.
