In everyone's eyes, Li Xiangsi is beautiful, talented, and skilled in both letters and arms. She gets her wish and marries Mo Nanchen, entering the Prince of Mo's household to the envy of all.
But a year and a half later, the entire General's household is executed, and when Mo Nanchen returns from an outing, everything changes.
He brings back another woman and marries her with no less grandeur than the lavish procession and eight sedan bearers that accompanied Li Xiangsi's own wedding.
She tries to awaken Mo Nanchen's memories of their past together, but is thwarted again and again.
Perhaps leaving is the best thing she can do for him.
“I was willing to walk beside you on the road ahead, even if your glorious future had nothing to do with me in the end.”
Perhaps, at least, there is nothing left to regret...

Ugh, this is a no-go. This is the first time I've ever finished such a terrible book. I thought there would be a plot twist later, but oh well. It feels like the author is insulting the readers' intelligence. Are the male leads idiots? And what's going on with Consort Ning and the Prince? It feels like the story is abruptly cut off. Sometimes one event isn't finished before the next one starts, and there are so many plot holes left unfilled before the ending. The ending is bizarre. Why did they have to kill off the female lead? Wasn't she supposed to be seeking revenge? Why didn't she seek revenge after those two clans wiped out her family? In the end, she even got herself killed. She's such a saint. What happened to the Prince's amnesia? Why did the Healer Clan help Ning? I'm speechless, utterly speechless.
The writing is really bad.
I finally forced myself to finish reading it! Although the beginning was quite attractive, it was very off-putting. The logic was weak, the thinking was disjointed, and it was all too far-fetched!
