Ji Tanyuan goes from wealthy socialite to the young madam of the capital’s most prestigious family, a thrilling but suffocating transformation.
The Zhong family is powerful but bound by endless rules.
Her husband, Zhong Yan, is handsome and noble, but controlling.
And in Zhong Yan’s eyes, Ji Tanyuan may appear gentle and gracious,
but it’s all fake.
They can’t stand each other, yet they still fulfill every duty expected of a married couple.
A high-society marriage: half-truth, half-act; part performance, part reality.
The outside world bets confidently that no matter how virtuous and elegant the Ji family’s eldest daughter is, she will never win the heir of the Zhong family’s heart.
They say she’ll be abandoned, divorced sooner or later.
But no one expected Ji Tanyuan to flip the table first.
In a marriage built entirely on profit, the Ji family suffers a major setback.
So Ji Tanyuan, daughter of the Ji family, raises her sword at the Zhong family and turns the entire upper circle upside down.
Usually gentle and soft-tempered, she becomes lethal when she moves:
decisive, merciless in business, willing to drag herself down if it means stripping a layer of prestige off the Zhong family.
She’s had enough of this feudal, suffocating cage.
Soon after,
for reasons unknown, the Zhong family’s heir seems to go mad, using every form of power he has to salvage their crumbling marriage.
“If you don’t like it, I’ll marry into your family instead, just don’t divorce me!”
