Introduction to the plot of "The Prestigious Bride":
The Cao family, though wealthy and prestigious, harbors many unknown contradictions and struggles within. Cao Tianji, the second son of the Cao family, is kind-hearted and elegant in demeanor. However, from childhood, he has been trapped in a deep sense of guilt that he cannot escape. The reason lies in his mischievous childhood when he persuaded his elder brother to take him on a remote mountain hike, resulting in his brother Cao Tianyu contracting a severe illness during the trip that could never be cured, leaving behind years of regret. For this, their mother, Xue Jianlan, has not forgiven Cao Tianji for many years, shedding tears daily.
In the process of growing up, Cao Tianyu was constantly tormented by illness, eventually losing his ability to have children and unable to marry, which became the biggest regret of the Cao family.
To compensate for the eldest son Cao Tianyu who had been scorned by everyone, after multiple failed attempts at matchmaking, the loving mother Xue Jianlan made an exchange agreement with Xiang Xuexin, the eldest daughter of the Xiang family dyeing shop. She arranged for the smart, beautiful, and cunning Xiang Xuexin to marry her eldest son Cao Tianyu unconditionally, while letting her second son Cao Tianji marry Xiang Xueling, the younger sister of Xiang Xuexin.
To make up for his inner guilt towards his brother and to let his mother eliminate her prejudice against him, Cao Tianji painfully left his girlfriend Chen Muchun, accepting the marriage arranged entirely by his mother, going against his own conscience and wishes.
Cao Jin Feng, Cao Tianji's father, strongly opposed such a marriage-for-sale, trying hard to prevent Cao Tianji from making such a decision. However, Cao Tianji did not listen, insisting on treating his brother's lifelong happiness as the most important thing in his life, believing that as long as he sacrificed himself, he could bring a happy marriage to his brother.
However, what Cao Tianji did not know was that the bride he was supposed to marry, Xiang Xueling, was actually a severe mental patient! Xiang Xueling had an episode at the wedding, frightening everyone present. Cao Jin Feng and other relatives repeatedly advised Cao Tianji to immediately dissolve the marriage contract with the Xiang family.
Unexpectedly, not only did Cao Tianji refuse to break off the engagement, but he also stayed by Xiang Xueling's side without hesitation, adhering to the agreement between the Cao and Xiang families, respecting their marriage, hoping that his wife would gradually recover under his careful care.
Cao Tianji's actions were praised by his mother-in-law Wei Shuxian, and mother Xue Jianlan slowly changed her attitude towards him, believing that her son had already made the greatest sacrifice for his brother, which was quite rare.
On the other hand, after marrying, Xiang Xuexin despised Cao Tianyu because he could not consummate their marriage. She played both sides, secretly meeting her old lover Zha Hetin, preparing to elope, while constantly deceiving Cao Tianyu, creating lies that disturbed the household.
Xue Jianlan accidentally learned that her daughter-in-law had an affair. She was very angry but could never find out who Xiang Xuexin's lover was, only worrying silently and regretting having trusted Xiang Xuexin so easily.
Both new couples in the Cao family were trapped in the suffering of love. Cao Tianji deeply loved Xiang Xueling but could never win her heart, as Xiang Xueling's thoughts were always on her ex-husband Song Dacheng.
Song Dacheng was the son of a military family. On the day he married Xiang Xueling, he tragically faced revenge from his enemies, leading to a merciless massacre of his family. Although Xiang Xueling escaped with her life, the intense trauma drove her insane...
Song Dacheng was severely injured, and many believed he had died in the massacre. Three years later, Song Dacheng lost contact with Xiang Xueling, and both thought the other had perished. Unexpectedly, Song Dacheng became Cao Tianji's close friend, making their relationship even more complicated and subtle.
From then on, in this wealthy family, conflicts arose between parents and daughters-in-law, siblings, and friends. Kind hearts, misplaced love, sincere emotions, and false lies intertwined throughout the series...
