Shen Mingxi: The current princess of Zhaoyang, the emperor's niece, with extraordinary beauty and unparalleled intelligence. A piece of paper conferred marriage, and she fell from the pearl of the Tian family into the quagmire of the Pei family, marrying the infamous "savage" husband. On their wedding night, he crushed the wedding cup, stained the marriage certificate with blood, and mocked her for being a "widow". But she clasped his blood-stained wrist, her fingertips slid across the thin calluses and old scars on his palm, and with one sentence she broke the truth that had been sealed for ten years: "You were the one who saved me on the Jiangnan Canal back then, right?"
Pei Zhaoye: The eldest son of Duke Jingguo, but he is also a "bastard" who has been rejected by the family for seventeen years. He was exiled in the south of the Yangtze River, and when he returned he was dressed in wet clothes, carrying stubborn rocks from his hometown on his shoulders, and crushed the false glory of his grandmother's mourning hall. Under his eyes was the silent Dead Sea, and in his palm was the hard iron cocoon of a warrior sharpened by holding a knife for many years. The world only saw that he was vulgar and violent, but they didn't know what kind of blood and fire were buried under the evil spirit in his body.
Intention: Well...
