Introduction to the work
When she was seven years old, Jiang Jinxue clutched her mother's contract to "sell her body to bury her husband" and stepped barefoot onto the bluestone steps of Wen Mansion. She was covered in mud, and her old clothes were still stained with wet grass clippings, like a kitten that had been soaked by a heavy rain. Until a moon-white gown covered her head - Wen Yanqing, the legitimate son of the richest man in Jiangnan, squatted down and wiped away the stains on her face with a brocade handkerchief. The young gang leader who was in charge of Ruifeng Company actually took off his robe and wrapped it around her shivering body.
At that time, Wen's father had just lost his wife. Seeing that her mother was beautiful, weak and helpless, he took her as his concubine. During the days when she was living under someone else's roof, only Wen Yanqing protected her. He would beat the boy who bullied her until he ran away in panic, hold her hand and teach Su embroidery, and let her dirty his clothes with her fingertips stained with silk thread. Jiang Jinxue, who lacked love, relied on him like a vine, and spent countless nights fantasizing about how great it would be if she could marry her brother.
On the day she got her haircut, Wen Yanqing pushed the jade bracelet engraved with "avoid suspicion" in front of her, and the undercurrent in her eyes turned into the sentence "there are differences between men and women." Only then did Jiang Jinxue realize that Wen's father had already made a marriage contract for him with the Salt Administration Supervisor's family.
But her mother pushed her into a more dangerous abyss - a blind date with Pei Zhaoye, the young master of the Yaojiao Gang who controlled the private culvert. This seemingly romantic illegitimate son has shady blood on his fingertips. On the day we met, she was pushed into the biting river water, and in despair she heard the rapid footsteps on the shore.
In the distance, Wen Yanqing tore up the marriage contract and ran over, his brocade robe covered in mud. When forbidden love collides with a bloody conspiracy, can the boy who once lifted her up from the dust still fight against the whole world for her?
Purpose: To show the courage and strength to break through the shackles of the world and pursue pure love.
