Liu Lingyue is known throughout the capital as a beautiful fool.
Yet she used some rather unsavory means to successfully marry Pei Yuhuai.
Pei Yuhuai is the only son of the Prince Regent. He is noble and radiant, as cool and pure as snow.
Among the young noblemen of the capital, he is the most prestigious and unattainable. Every noble young lady in the capital has set her heart on him.
But Liu Lingyue doesn't like Pei Yuhuai at all.
She schemed to marry him only because he was the man her legitimate elder sister had longed for.
Whatever her elder sister likes, Liu Lingyue wants to snatch away.
*
After marrying into the prince's residence, Liu Lingyue and her peerlessly handsome husband are together in name only.
He is refined as jade, distant and aloof, with a frigid temperament.
She knows Pei Yuhuai doesn't like her either, so she always avoids him.
But she can't shake the feeling that a sticky, shadowy gaze is watching her from somewhere in the dark.
Later, when she goes on an outing with her childhood friend, Pei Yuhuai, usually so refined and composed, suddenly appears and indifferently drives a sword through her friend's chest.
His warm blood almost splashes across her cheek.
A cold fingertip glides over her cheek like a snake, wiping away the blood.
Only then does she realize that the gaze belongs to her usually aloof and dignified husband, Pei Yuhuai.

Liu Lingyue is terrified and panics, wanting to escape.
Pei Yuhuai simply watches as she packs up her valuables and belongings.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, he appears before her like a demon just as she thinks she is about to get away. His gentle smile is as chilling as a ghost's.
He binds a fine gold chain around her ankle, possessiveness practically spilling from his blood-red eyes.
"A Yue, you've been naughty. You chose this yourself. How can you run away?"
A little scene:
Everyone says Liu Lingyue used clumsy tricks to scheme her way into marrying the cool and composed Pei Yuhuai.
Only Pei Yuhuai knows that when Liu Lingyue, blushing, handed him that cup of drugged wine, he smiled faintly with dark eyes and drained it in one gulp.
