When the news of her marriage to the elegant and noble young master of the Pei family came out, everyone said they were a perfect match. But a perfect match is one thing, a marriage without love is like a pile of loose sand, sooner or later existing in name only. Just like at the wedding, Shan Yin almost mispronounced Pei Yunhe's name, and the guests whispered among themselves, saying they were just a couple in name only. Looking at Shan Yin, who feigned composure and poise, Pei Yunhe raised an eyebrow and made a note of it. - A month into their marriage, Shan Yin fell ill, and the Pei family went to great lengths to bring in renowned physicians from prestigious families. The old Chinese medicine doctor took her pulse, glancing only at the refined and elegant Pei Yunhe beside him. "Young man, you must learn restraint." "I'm not young anymore; being too reserved won't work," the refined man replied. "Ahem!" Shan Yin blushed, both their voices hoarse from being forced to call his name repeatedly the previous night. From then on, the rumors were dispelled, and Shan Yin and Pei Yunhe became the model couple of Nan Qiao.

In her youth, Shi Congyi lived with her mother in the Xi family's old mansion. Though separated by many courtyards, she had heard of Xi Zhuoheng of the Xi family. That young master was refined and otherworldly. Like snow on a high mountain, like the moon in the sky. Aloof and noble, unapproachable. His face was strikingly handsome, indescribable. Shi Congyi knew they were worlds apart. Occasionally, they would meet in narrow passageways; she would step aside, and he would give a cold nod. They were truly strangers. Years later, they met again, only to stumble into his predicament of being forced into marriage. The man leaned over and stared, his eyes as deep as the abyss. He clasped her wrist with his hot palm and asked in a deep voice: "Shi Congyi, are you willing to marry me?" Shi Congyi, who was soft-hearted, righteous, and unreliable, agreed, and gave someone a chance to get into the secret marriage track.
