Synopsis
Many years ago, Shen Qingru's mother was drowned by the clan leader for adultery. Branded as the daughter of a "harlot," Shen Qingru grew up numb to the pain and humiliation inflicted upon her by the townspeople, carrying the resentment of her late mother.
Until one day, the "mute" Shen Cheng appeared—two souls bound by both salvation and destruction. The fragile line of "siblings" wavered yet remained, an unbreakable barrier between them. Under the watchful eyes of the town, Shen Qingru swore with tearful resolve never to fall in love.
Shen Qingru was betrothed by her father to the Mo family in hopes of bringing luck to a dying young master, but on the eve of their wedding, he perished. The Mo matriarch, cruel and unrelenting, demanded that Shen Qingru follow him to the grave. Meanwhile, Shen Cheng was ensnared in a deadly trap.
To save him, Shen Qingru was forced to marry the seemingly "gentle" son of the clan leader. Barely surviving a mass grave, Shen Cheng, unable to voice his forbidden love, pledged himself to his biological father’s army. After years of war, the once mute and rugged boy became a ruthless young marshal. Now, under a different name, he returns to the town that once cast them both aside.
