The Prisoner of Beauty《折腰》 / The Marquis is Innocent (君侯本无邪) Author: Peng Lai Ke (蓬莱客) In a time of war and ruin, Wei Shao, haunted by the fall of his city and the loss of his kin, rises from the ashes to restore the honor of the Wei clan. Feared on the battlefield, he turns from vengeance to peace-and proposes marriage to the Qiao family, once their greatest betrayers. His bride, Qiao Man (Xiao Qiao), is sent into the union like a lamb to the slaughter. Rumors call Wei Shao a cruel warlord; she steps into his world with caution, knowing love has no place in such a match. Yet beneath the cold walls of duty and pride, something unexpected blooms. She is not what he assumed. He is not what she feared. As danger closes in, they begin to rely on each other-her quiet strength, his unspoken loyalty. When war returns to their gates, it is Xiao Qiao who stands firm, protecting a people not her own. And in her, Wei Shao sees the one person who might heal what bloodshed has broken.
