Yun Dai has good looks but a humble status, and lives carefully in the Duke's mansion.
It wasn't until the crown prince Xie Jinlan returned home after being devolved for three years that Yun Dai saw his power and decided to please him.
But she didn't expect that all her clumsy attempts to please would be seen by Xie Jinlan.
Xie Jinlan always knew what Yun Dai wanted.
She deliberately approached him because she wanted to settle down and live a safe life.
He was confident that he could control everything, so he let her get close, kept her by his side, and gave her everything she wanted.
Until that day, he accidentally heard the drunken Yun Dai murmuring his affection for him, and his usually calm heart suddenly became a little confused.

Xie Jinlan knew that the person he could marry as his first wife would only be a lady from a famous family, not a lowly cousin, so he never went out of his way towards Yun Dai.
Until there was news in the house that Yun Dai was going to be proposed for marriage, he looked at the girl who stumbled into the inner courtyard, and the cup in his palm was almost crushed by him.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and warned: "After we get married, if you are bullied, you can come to the Duke's Mansion to find me to make the decision for you."
The light in Yun Dai's eyes dimmed, and she cried loudly: "Yun Dai thanks my cousin for taking care of me, and I also hope that my cousin will find a beautiful woman."
After that day, no one around him called him cousin, and no one looked at his eyes lovingly, until he accidentally opened the curtain and saw the man dressed as a scholar kissing Yun Dai on the corner of his mouth.
Xie Jinlan's pupils narrowed, and he later realized the taste of regret and jealousy.

Later one night, the always gentle man stubbornly turned Yun Dai's face towards her husband, forcing her to admit over and over again, "Dai Dai, say you like me and only me."
Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution-a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications-eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day-a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself.
Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well."
She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated.
Qiao Xi: "Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?"
The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore...
Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing."
Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for."
Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day."
Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you."
The scumbag guy and girl: "???"
Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks.
Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?"
One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand.
Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?!
Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?"
Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"
