Late Moon, Light Rain, Asking the Begonias

There is a legend in the Tianchen Kingdom: twins bring bad luck. At best, they bring financial ruin and misfortune; at worst, they destroy the family. The only way to break the curse is to keep one child and abandon the other. Meng Wanyue was a victim of this legend, branded inauspicious from the moment she was born. She should have been drowned, but her uncle, Meng Qianfan, saved her by giving up his claim to the family estate, then took her to the countryside to raise her. Her twin sister, Meng Weiyu, on the other hand, enjoyed boundless favor, all because she was born lucky. Her father, Meng Qianshan, rose from obscurity as a county magistrate to become Minister of Revenue. There is a saying in Tianchen: He who wins a daughter of the Meng family wins peace for the realm. Before long, the Meng daughters became the objects of every prince's pursuit, throwing the capital into chaos. To make amends to Prince Yi, the emperor arranged for Meng Weiyu to marry him. Prince Yi, Xiao Duo, had been disfigured in battle. Proud and haughty, Meng Weiyu looked down on the battle-scarred prince and threatened to kill herself. With no other choice, her mother came up with a plan: have Meng Wanyue take her place in the marriage!
