The daughter of a merchant, Jiang Shu, was married into the Marquis's residence, becoming the talk of the capital. For six years, she loyally stayed at home, taking care of the Marquis's family without complaint. But when her husband returned from the border, he brought back a wife and two children. Not only that, but he even asked the emperor to recognize his new wife, leaving Jiang Shu humiliated and becoming the subject of ridicule in the capital.
She had tolerated enough and decided to stop relying on the Marquis's family for support, showing them just how difficult life could be without money. Each time she softened her heart, she was met with more disappointment. Finally, Jiang Shu decided to divorce him.
Thinking she was an insignificant divorced woman, the Marquis never imagined that Jiang Shu would be sought after by aristocratic families. Realizing his mistake, he rushed to ask for her hand in marriage again, only to be met with public humiliation.
As he left, drenched in embarrassment, he saw an imperial envoy enter Jiang Shu’s residence. She was granted a marriage to King Jing, and he had no chance to turn things around.
When they met again, Jiang Shu stood by King Jing's side, elegant and dazzling. The Marquis, kneeling in respect, watched her in harmony with King Jing.
King Yu Zheng’s cold gaze swept over them: "Lord Jing'an, know your place!"

[Pure Male Lead + Competitive Drama + Sweet, Innocent Beauty vs. Obsessive, Twisted Paranoiac | A Battle Between the True and False Crown Princes]
Xu Mian, a sweet and full-figured young lady, has been married to the Eastern Palace for only half a month when Crown Prince Shi Yan goes on a royal tour and is ambushed, disappearing without a trace.
When he returns, he is no longer the same—a dark, brooding, and mysterious version of himself seems to have emerged.
As their love deepens, Xu Mian notices a certain guard glaring at her with intense hatred.
“You… why are you glaring at me?” she demands.
The guard stiffens, but when no one is around, he corners her against the wall and commits unspeakable acts.
He knows the marks on her neck weren’t left by him.
“You said you loved me. How can you not recognize me?”
“Do you want him to hear, or should I make him leave?”
From outside, a voice calls, “My wife, have you retired for the night?”
Xu Mian, her voice trembling, replies, “Yes, Your Highness… I’ve gone to sleep.”
Inside the room, the fragrance of incense mixes with the sound of rattling furniture.
“Xu Mian, you are my wife!”
In a hidden chamber, she pleads tearfully, “Please, let him go.”
Gripping her chin, he whispers, “If you want to save him, you know what you must do.”
As she leans closer to him, the other man’s hoarse, desperate voice cries out, “Xu Mian, don’t!”
Yet he insists on showing the other man just how far he will go to claim her completely...
