Wan An was born with ethereal beauty, but both her parents died when she was young. Living as a dependent in the Duke’s mansion, she has always kept a low profile, careful not to attract attention.
Then one day, she learns that her aunt plans to marry her off as a concubine to a nephew from her maternal family, a violent man who has beaten two wives to death.
She has no choice but to start looking out for herself.
There are two extraordinary young men in the Duke’s mansion:
One is Chen Guanlan, a refined and gentle scholar with striking good looks and graceful manners, who placed third in the palace examinations.
The other is Chen Heling, a tall and imposing Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, ruthless and sinister, who kills without batting an eye.
I wish everyone a happy New Year's Eve, peace and health in the new year, and all the best.
