On their wedding day, a mix-up sent the bride to the wrong bridal chamber.
Yan Funing saw that her new husband was someone she had offended before. Knowing he would one day become a sinister, ruthless powerbroker who stopped at nothing, her legs went weak.
To her surprise, the very next day they were sent off to the countryside to farm.
Not wanting to suffer the same fate as a cannon-fodder heroine, she worked hard to build up their family fortune, soothed his temper, and played the part of his wife.

Fu Ciyi realized his new bride was the woman who had once broken off their engagement. He could have divorced her on the spot, but suddenly changed his mind.
It would be better to keep a woman like her by his side and torment her every day.
He never expected her to be so sweet and captivating, every frown and smile utterly bewitching...
He tried with all his might to restrain himself, never realizing that he was the one being tormented.

One day, Fu Ciyi was ambushed and struck on the head. After that, he kept dreaming of a woman.
He had never seen the woman’s face clearly in his dreams, but he knew she had a birthmark that looked like a lotus just beginning to bloom...
One night, Yan Funing was bathing in her room and accidentally let him see her lower back.
The usually aloof man lowered his phoenix eyes, an unreadable mix of emotions in their depths.
She felt inexplicably flustered and tried to flee.
But the man tightened his grip around her waist and warned her with a frown, “Stop tempting me!”
Yan Funing: “...”
Who was the one gripping her waist and refusing to let go?
