Qin Hu’s ancestors were among the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Dayu Dynasty. Three months ago, his father passed away, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.
Having been spoiled by his parents since childhood, Qin Hu had no interest in studying or martial arts, devoting himself entirely to play, indulgence, and running wild in the Capital. Hoping he would settle down as he grew older, his family arranged a marriage with the eldest daughter of Duke Chen’s Estate, Chen Ruoli—a well-bred young lady of great virtue and talent. While Qin Hu was notoriously vicious to everyone else, he was completely submissive to his beautiful fiancée, treating her like the most precious treasure.
However, the trouble began exactly because of this childhood sweetheart. According to Qin Hu’s memories, he had accompanied his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to Princess Chang’an. The Princess and Chen Ruoli were close friends since childhood, so she arranged a banquet. Qin Hu blacked out from drinking, and when he woke up, he found himself in the Inner Guard Imperial Prison, accused of drunkenly insulting the Princess and harboring evil intentions.
