Prisoner of Beauty (translation from: https://mydramanovel.com/the-prisoner-of-beauty/) -- In a time of chaos, after enduring the pain of losing his father and brothers, Wei Shao dedicated himself to the responsibilities of his family. As he led his clan to avenge the past atrocities of the city's slaughter, he discovered that what the common people truly needed was not revenge or warfare, but peace. To secure the livelihoods of the people, he extended a marriage alliance to the Qiao family, who had betrayed the Wei family. The youngest daughter, Qiao Man, was forced into marriage. Rumors portrayed Wei Shao as a ruthless conqueror, and Qiao Man understood that her marriage was merely a temporary measure. She lived in the Wei household with caution, treading carefully. After navigating numerous crises, Qiao Man and Wei Shao gradually became drawn to each other's intelligence, strategy, and open-mindedness. However, the enmity between their families loomed over them, creating a barrier in their relationship. When the Wei family faced a life-and-death crisis, Qiao Man vowed to defend the city at all costs, ultimately winning the hearts of the Wei clan and Wei Shao. In the end, the two genuinely fell in love, using their mutual understanding to resolve family conflicts and together restore peace and stability to the people.
