In the golden halls of the cultivation world, beauty and honor are currency, and love is a dangerous luxury.
Jiang Wanyin, sharp-tongued heir of Lotus Pier, once offered his innocent heart to Lan Xichen, only to be cruelly rejected. Years later, radiant and transformed, his marriage to Wei Wuxian is shattered when Zewu-jun kidnaps him on his wedding day. Humiliated, violated, and stripped of his dignity, Jiang Cheng demands justice - and finds himself bound in a forced marriage to the very man who broke him.
Wei Wuxian, once destined to stand at Jiang Cheng's side, is handed to Lan Wangji as "compensation." His laughter turns to venom, even as Lan Zhan's steadfast devotion begins to crack the walls around his heart.
Two weddings born from scandal.
Two couples bound by betrayal, vengeance, and fate.
In a world where the Lan never take concubines and marriages cannot be undone, Jiang Cheng swears he will never let Zewu-jun know happiness... even as his own heart betrays him.
