Liu Yuning is a nature burn costume hero. He portrayed many hero roles before. He’s tall and handsome. He has a charming voice. I thinks his voice is stunning because he’s a single.

He makes a plan, according to the wish. He’s the master of Wei family now. He owns a powerful army. He’s invincible. But he’s soft when he faces the weak girl Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao’s Grandfather Causes the Death of Wei Shao’s Grandfather
Why does Wei Shao hate Qiao family so much? It makes fans be interested in it. They want to know the reason. The Prisoner of Beauty episode 1 discloses the truth. The history was dark. Xiao Qiao’s grandfather Qiao Gui and Wei Shao’s grandfather Wei Lun weren’t actually enemies. They were good friends. Qiao Gui was the ruler and Yan State. Wei Lun was the marquis of Wei Nation. Qiao Gui knew his kingdom is weak. He was looking for allies. Wei Lun came into his vision.
Qiao Gui offered Wei Lun an olive branch. Wei Lun was tempted immediately after he heard Qiao Gui’s sweet. He was loyal and he trusted the man without an hesitation. Yan State and Wei Nation were officially allied. Wei Lun promised to guard Yan State after Qiao Gui agreed to build channels for him. But he underestimated the human nature. He didn’t expect that his best friend would betray him.
The lord of Bian State Li Su was jealous after he saw the perfect cooperation of Wei Nation and Yan State. He knew he needs to do something before the two get stronger. He took his army to attack the capital of Wei Nation soon. Wei Lun didn’t have plan B because he mistook that his friend will come to save him.
He didn’t know his friend was watching it in the camp. Qiao Gui couldn’t make the decision. He wanted to go to save Wei Lun. But he worried that Li Su will take revenge on him if he stops him. His people will get involved. He knew it very well that Li Su is brutal. He will massacre Yan State if he sabotages his plan. He had to say sorry to his friend.
Wei Lun was still waiting for Qiao Gui. But he heard the bad news from his eldest grandson Wei Bao. He learned that his friend doesn’t plan to support him. He lost his last hope. He blamed Qiao Gui and he called him a thief. But he couldn’t change his fate. He was killed by Li Su soon. His son and his eldest grandson were buried with him. The only survivor was the youngest grandson Wei Shao. He began his revenge plan.
The Two Families Become Enemies
Wei Shao was locked up in a wooden box. He witnessed his grandfather, his father and his eldest brother being killed by Li Su. He’s full of hate. Yes, Li Su deserves the death. But he hates Qiao family more. His grandfather wouldn’t be killed if it wasn’t Qiao family. His mother and his uncle keeps telling him to ruin Yan State. It’s also his wish.
Xiao Qiao hears the story of the two families from her grandfather. He describes the guy as a hero. But he knows it very well that the guy will come to kill him. Qiao family is weak because there’s no strong man in the family. Qiao Gui knows they will have no chance of success if he doesn’t come up with a perfect plan. He chooses beauty trap. He knows her eldest granddaughter Da Qiao is pretty. He decides to sacrifice her for saving Qiao family. But he doesn’t know the girl and the slave are in love.
Xiao Qiao is like her grandfather. She’s smart and she knows how to convince people. But she’s not a man. She cannot lead Qiao family like what Wei Shao did. She’s destined to marry a man. The prince of Liangya Liu Yan has feelings for her after he lived in Qiao family when he was a child. The elders agree to the marriage. But Xiao Qiao isn’t happy with the marriage because she thinks the guy isn’t sincere.
She notes that Da Qiao went out to see the man when she’s going to marry Wei Shao. She decides to sacrifice herself for helping her sister since she doesn’t want to marry Liu Yan as well. Da Qiao is ready to marry Wei Shao. She went to see Bi Zhi for breaking up with him. She suspects her sister’s intention after Xiao Qiao told her that she wants to marry Wei Shao.
Wei Shao is going to take Capital. But he receives a letter from his grandma. He learns that she wishes him to marry the daughter of Qiao family. He’s very smart and he realizes that Qiao Gui ticked her grandma. He orders the soldiers to attack Capital Xin. He takes the city soon. He catches his enemy Li Su and he murders him in cold blood. The only enemy is Qiao family now.
Da Qiao’s father Qiao Yue is flustered after knowing her daughter disappeared. He wants to use her to make his enemy give up the revenge. But she’s absent. He pays attention to Xiao Qiao. He thinks his niece can do the job. He doesn’t know he’s Xiao Qiao’s piece piece. Qiao Gui knows her granddaughter very much. He thinks she doesn’t have to sacrifice herself. But she has made the decision. She offers a better plan. She believes Wei Shao will accept her offer if she gives the city Panyi to him.
Xiao Qiao says goodbye to her family after she got the city seal from Qiao Yue. She knows it very well that she needs to win the man’s heart even if she doesn’t like him. She knows the task is very hard. But she has to do it because Wei Shao has taken Capital Xin and his next target is Kang City.
Xiao Qiao Asks Wei Shao to Marry her
Wei Shao plans to attack Panyi after he dismembered Li Su. He’s confident that he’s going to achieve his goal soon. But Xiao Qiao comes to his city with the seal. He knows the beauty is sly like her grandfather. He plans to kill her before she moves him. But the counselor convinces him.
Wei Shao hates Qiao family. So he prejudices Xiao Qiao. He knows she wants to use the marriage to make him forgive her family. But he falls for her even if he pretends that he wasn’t affected. She knows her mission very well. She knows he won’t change his mind so fast.
She’s very smart and she finds his weakness soon. He just takes the city. The citizens don’t trust him because they were ruled by Li Su. He tries many ways to win their trust. But it doesn’t work. Xiao Qiao uses a little trick to make the citizens like her. They even give her flowers for expressing their favor.
Xiao Qiao mistakes that it’s a good chance to make a proposal to Wei Shao. But she doesn’t know he’s jealous of her. Because she did the thing he did do. He refuses her proposal and he expresses that he won’t back down. The previous magistrate of Capital Xin has a grudge after knowing Wei Shao was rude to the citizens. He tries to murder Wei Shao. But he fails.
Wei Shao isn’t happy when the magistrate scolds him. But he knows he shouldn’t kill him. Xiao Qiao hears Wei Shao intends to kill the magistrate. She knows he will win the hearts of the people if she helps him. She persuades him to kill the magistrate and his family in front of the people.
It makes her be a bad girl. People begin to dislike her. She has no place to stay because the attacks of the people. Wei Shao knows Xiao Qiao did it for helping him. He thinks she’s a good girl. But he still doesn’t marry her.
He gives a speech to the people. He shows goodwill. Xiao Qiao didn’t want to give the city seal of Panyi to Wei Shao. Because she worried that he will break the promise. But she has known that he’s a good person. She thinks it’s the time to give the seal to him. She expects him to accept her proposal.
But she underestimates his resentment to her family. He drives her out of the city after he got the seal. Her marriage plan is in vain. She paid the city but she got nothing. She resents him but she has to accept the truth that she fails.
