Song Yingying is lovely and gentle-tempered. Though she is the legitimate daughter of a marquis's household, she is the object of everyone's sympathy in the capital, all because she has a fiance known to everyone.
The eldest son of Grand Tutor Wang's family, Wang Wenyu, is good for nothing and excels at eating, drinking, womanizing, and gambling.
Young Master Wang spends lavishly on courtesans, and his reputation as a debauched playboy is known throughout the capital. They say he even keeps a mistress outside the household, and has a son with her.
But their engagement was arranged when they were children. A woman's reputation is more important than the heavens in this age, and breaking off the engagement would be tantamount to driving her to her death.
As the wedding date draws nearer and the day for the betrothal gifts approaches, gloom hangs over the entire marquis's household.
Then, at this crucial moment, something even more outrageous happens.
The day before the betrothal gifts are to be delivered, Young Master Wang uses the marriage contract with the marquis's household as a wager and loses!
Who does he lose it to?
Another famous figure in the capital: Young General Lu, rumored to prefer men and to be impotent.
At last, the marquis's household is doomed.
