Chasing Nebulae on a Cold Night

Shen Xingyun, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family who witnessed the tragic death of her biological mother and the almost murder of her younger brother, vowed to discredit her enemy's children and help her estranged younger brother to recognize his ancestors and return to his family. In order to more conveniently lay a revenge chess game, she resolutely married into the declining Yongjia Marquis Mansion and became Xiao Hanyu's fourth wife. Xiao Hanyu, the seemingly dandy and uninhibited son of a down-and-out Hou Mansion who had divorced his three wives in a row, was actually burdened with the heavy mission of avenging his father's grievances. He used a ridiculous image to deceive others and secretly collected evidence of his political enemies with the help of his father's former subordinates. Coincidentally, one of his targets was the family that Shen Xingyun's sister married into. A marriage with different purposes makes two roads of revenge unexpectedly intersect. She used the name of his marquis to get around among the powerful, and he used her in-law network to get deep into the enemy's hinterland. She carefully set up a situation for him and took risks; he added fuel to the fire for her and cut off her retreat. In a series of thrilling plans, they not only killed their enemies in one fell swoop, but also accidentally implicated the real culprit who framed the Hou Mansion. From using each other to relying on each other in life and death, from watching indifferently to staying together passionately, two lonely souls who were once despised by the world gradually get closer in the blood and fire of revenge. They originally disdained the personal relationship between their children, but in the end they could not resist the fetters of fate. In the broken past and common obsession, they became each other's only salvation and armor. This is a marriage that begins with calculation, and a love that ends on the edge of a knife. See how the ruined prince and the tenacious orphan girl work together to stir up the storm in the capital and make all those who despise them pay the price!
