To give her son a home, Su Wanyun arrived at the Duke's residence pregnant and spent three years playing the part of a devoted widow.
Just when she thought she could spend the rest of her life peacefully raising her son,
the young master, who had been dead for years, suddenly returned.
For her son's sake, she was forced to sign a contract of servitude and help him deal with threats both inside and outside the household.
Until, at a palace banquet, she heard the emperor's plans to arrange a marriage for him...
He thought she was weak and easy to bully, but he didn't know she was scheming in secret.
He thought she loved him deeply, but he didn't know she'd already planned her escape.
On the night of Xiao Zhaoheng's wedding, Su Wanyun burned the contract and vanished with her son without a trace.
The cold-faced King of Hell, whose power held the court in thrall, went mad.
He abandoned his imperial duties and searched all of Great Qi, until at last he found the woman who haunted his dreams.
The meek little rabbit of the past was now a cool-headed businesswoman who ran eighteen trading houses.
She held her son close and looked at him coolly. "Sir, do we know each other?"
With red-rimmed eyes, he knelt in the rain. "You're my wife. You're the one I was to marry. You're the only one in my heart."
"Yun'er, come home with me, please?"
"This time, let me be the one to beg you."
