Qin Hu’s ancestors were among the four dukes and twenty-eight marquesses who founded the Dayu Dynasty. Three months ago, his father passed away, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.
Qin Hu had been spoiled by his parents since childhood; he disliked studying and training, preferring only to play, indulge in luxury, and run wild in the Capital. When he grew older, his family, hoping to make him settle down, arranged a marriage with the eldest daughter of Duke Chen’s Estate, a refined and virtuous young lady named Chen Ruoli. While Qin Hu was vicious toward others, he was blindly obedient to his beautiful fiancée, treating her like a precious treasure.
Tragically, it was precisely this childhood sweetheart who became his downfall. According to his memories, one day he accompanied her to the palace to pay respects to Princess Chang’an. The Princess and Chen Ruoli had been close since childhood, so she arranged a banquet for them. Qin Hu blacked out from drinking, and when he woke up, he was already in the Inner Guard Imperial Prison. He was accused of drunkenly harassing the Princess and harboring illicit intentions.
