News that the Regent was to marry her spread through every street and alley, and the people rejoiced and offered their congratulations. The Yan family's daughter was the most beautiful woman in the capital, and her father was the prime minister. She was of noble birth, so everyone thought it was a match made in heaven.

In the end, her heart completely dead, she took her own life on the day of her wedding to him...
