The cowardly Shu was triple-imprisoned by ethics, marriage, and love.
A concubine is forced to marry into a wealthy family. Her unfaithful husband cannot have children. The family forces her and her brother-in-law to borrow seeds to have a child. Little do they know that the fate of the three of them has been entangled for a long time. A forbidden love detonates the power of the wealthy family. Who is the real winner in the intertwining of love and hate?
Excerpt:
Nie Jingyi was leaning on the red sandalwood couch, playing with a blood-stained jade finger with her jade-white fingertips. Shu recognized it early on and recognized it as the one Nie Rongqin wore when he went out this morning, and became even more flustered.
She stood three steps away, her embroidered shoes were soaked by the rain, and the jasmine pattern on her skirt turned gray and blue. She stared at the blood splattered on the corners of his robe, and her voice trembled: "... What can the prince do to let my husband go?"
"Husband?" Nie Jingyi chuckled, and suddenly raised her hand to pour a cup of almond tea and pushed it over, "Sister-in-law, try it. I made it according to the recipe you taught me before."
The tea cup clanged on the table with a crisp sound, and Shu Zaozao's eyelashes trembled violently. This is the tea that he made for her with his own hands every day during those two months when she borrowed the plant five years ago.
"Rong Qin is still suffering inside..."
"Twenty-eight almonds need to be peeled. One too many will be too bitter, and one too few will be too bland." He cut off her words and said,
"I hired a cook from Shu to cook your favorite dish in the evening. At that time, you were pregnant..."
"That's enough!" She staggered and held on to the corner of the case, the jade bracelet on her wrist getting cracked, "You know he is innocent! Zhao Zhao cannot live without his father!"
Nie Jingyi sneered and said, "Oh, how could I remember that Zhao Zhao is my son."
