Synopsis:
[Male lead fights and competes + Male second lead’s wife chase ends in heartbreak + Marriage first, love later]

Jiang Chuyue admired Xiao Ji for ten years. As his nominal “younger sister,” she could only watch helplessly as he took one concubine after another.
At a palace banquet, Xiao Ji, to protect his beloved favored concubine, forces her to marry the Regent King.
Xiao Ji tells her, “The Regent King is my closest friend. He won’t consummate the marriage with you. Once the situation calms down, you two can divorce.”
Jiang Chuyue’s heart completely freezes…

On the wedding night, the Regent King, known as the “Living King of Hell,” lifts the red veil.
Jiang Chuyue asks, “I heard from my brother that you won’t consummate the marriage?”
The Regent King replies, “I want to. Is that okay?”
Jiang Chuyue closes her eyes and says, “Okay.”

Jiang Chuyue thinks she doesn’t know the Regent King well, but unexpectedly, after marriage, they become intimately close. She even receives the unique love she longed for in her youth.

Later, news of Jiang Chuyue’s pregnancy spreads. Xiao Ji, who is fighting at the border, turns gray overnight and rushes back to the capital day and night.
Trembling, he says, “Xiao Yue, I regret it.”
He just realized his true feelings a bit too late—why didn’t she wait for him?

Only after losing her does he understand his true heart, and he vows to hold the lost moonlight back in his palm…

The Regent King had coveted Jiang Chuyue for many years, using all means to finally marry her.
Why did the later suitor win? Because the Regent King also fights and competes fiercely.

[A growth-focused heroine, love develops over time. PS: The heroine and the second male lead are not blood-related.]
