Back then, she married him in a grand wedding procession stretching ten miles. She knew that the imperial family was the most heartless place of all, and that being by the emperor's side was like keeping company with a tiger. Yet she fell in love with him after their wedding without hesitation. He treated her with tender care, and she chose to trust him, ignoring the warnings of her confidant. But now, three years later, the truth was being revealed piece by piece. He had destroyed her entire family, slaughtered her child with his own hands, and sentenced her to death. She swallowed the poison without hesitation, just as resolute as ever. Then it was as though she had awakened from a nightmare, with no trace left behind. She was once again the high and mighty Princess of Anguo. But after suffering such cruel betrayal, could she still remain true to the person she had been at the beginning?
Leng Qingrou would remember these words from her father for the rest of her life:
"If this causes discord among the three great families, kill without mercy. And the first person to strike against her was her own father."
