The Prisoner of Beauty – Song Zu Er, Liu Yuning

During a time of chaos, Wei Shao, having suffered the loss of his father and brothers, devotes himself to revitalizing his family and taking on its heavy responsibilities. As he leads his clan to avenge the humiliating massacre they once endured, he comes to realize that what the people truly need is not revenge and war, but peace.

For the sake of the people's livelihood, he sends a marriage proposal to the Qiao family—the very family that once betrayed the Wei clan. Qiao Man, the youngest daughter of the Qiao family, is forced into the marriage. Rumors paint Wei Shao as a ruthless warlord, and Qiao Man is well aware that this marriage is nothing more than a strategic delay. Living in the Wei household, she treads carefully, as if walking on thin ice.

After facing numerous crises together, Qiao Man and Wei Shao begin to admire each other's wisdom, strategy, and open-mindedness. Yet, the unresolved grudges of the previous generation continue to stand between them, straining their relationship.

When the Wei family faces a life-or-death crisis, Qiao Man swears to defend the city with her life, ultimately winning over both the Wei clan and Wei Shao's heart. In the end, the two fall deeply in love, resolve their families’ old conflicts through mutual understanding, and work side by side to bring peace and stability to the people.
