How Can I Cross This River of Sorrow?

Who would have thought that the seemingly respectable Prince Beile was rotten to the core? From the first time she saw him at Sh Yue Tower, out seeking pleasure, she knew he was no good. If she hadn't been at her wit's end, why would she have been foolish enough to let him trick her into the Prince Rong's residence? The groom who had teased her endlessly before their wedding left her alone on their wedding night. Tossing and turning all night, she could only clutch her quilt and sigh... Hmph! She has never been one to accept her fate, and defying expectations is her specialty. Think she'll meekly stay in this mansion, where the gates are deep as the sea? No chance!
