What she wanted was stability for the rest of her life, but he wanted a raging fire.
Zhong Zhaotang, the legitimate daughter of Zhong Shi, was originally a jewel in a high family and was loved by her mother and uncle. However, due to the death of her mother and her father's marriage, the family property was deprived of her, so she went to live with a renter alone. She suppressed her pride, pretended to be a docile rabbit flower, and relied on others to survive, just to use the power of the Hou Mansion to find a good marriage.
Cousin Pei Yanqing, a powerful official with a cold face, controls half of the court. She made tea and ink for him, sewed clothes to add fragrance, and flattered him, just to have a backer in the Marquis Mansion of Nuoda. Unexpectedly, he would regard his false feelings as sincerity.
Shen Zhihe, a new academician, is like spring breeze turning into rain, promising her a stable life. She thought she was finally free, but on the night of red candles, Pei Yanqing choked her: "Since you lied to me for half of your life, you should spend the rest of your life to pay for it."
Intention: Self-reliance and self-reliance
