A'yi lost her parents at an early age and lived under the roof of her brother and sister-in-law for seven years. Years later, her sister-in-law sold her for money to Chu Jingyan, the dreaded Nine-Thousand-Year Lord rumored to be ruthless and bloodthirsty. Yet on their wedding night, instead of mistreating her as the rumors foretold, Chu Jingyan gifted her a hairpin and bracelets, shared a bed with her, and held her safe in the palm of his hand. In the cold and austere Chu manor, A'yi slowly breathed warmth and domestic life into every corner; surrounded by this gentle tenderness, Chu Jingyan gradually shed the ruthlessness and guard of a powerful courtier. Later, amid shifts in the imperial court, he resolutely resigned from office and retreated to the countryside with his wife, adopting a pair of destitute twins. From the vortex of power to the water towns of Jiangnan, Chu Jingyan spent the rest of his life fulfilling a single promise: "With me here, no one dares bully you."
