Tô Hi nhị công chúa nước Tô vừa nhận sắc phong, vương chỉ khiến nàng vô cùng kinh ngạc. Lấy mỹ sắc đoạt mạng nam nhân, thực chất làm người ta chảng rét mà run. Thế nhưng phận làm công nương một nước, tất phải vì vinh quang Tô quốc làm đầu.
Tô Hi thuận lợi gả cho Thái tử Nam triều Tần Liễm, vốn tưởng rằng có thể giả heo ăn thịt hổ, ai ngờ đâu ngay đêm đầu động phòng đã khiến Tô Hi cảnh xuân mê mệt, vẽ được trọn cả bức Cung Xuân Đồ. Tần Liễm hắn cư nhiên xảo quyệt như hồ ly, vô cớ đùa bỡn vờn quanh Tô Hi, tại đông cung sắc xuân dạt dào, mỗi ngày đều diễn ra tiết mục heo dữ bị hồ ly ăn thịt. Nhị công chúa nước Tô ôm lòng chịu đựng, cứ ngỡ sẽ sớm đến ngày hoa lê thấm hạt mưa, nào ngờ, quân cờ rốt cuộc vẫn chỉ là quân cờ, sẽ có ngày bị vứt bỏ!
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
