Her cousin wanted to become the Crown Princess.
So Pang Shuyue had to marry off in her cousin’s place, only to be murdered on the way.
When she opened her eyes again, she was the illegitimate second daughter of the imperial physician Pang family, and she was to become the new wife of Ke Shaocheng, a prince of a different surname who had already outlived three wives.
Ke Shaocheng, hardened by the battlefield, had heard all about how delicate the young ladies of the capital were.
Looking at the girl’s slender waist, so thin it seemed it would snap with a bend, he said pointedly, “If you want a title, you’ll have to satisfy me.”
To his surprise, the girl showed no fear and agreed.
Pang Shuyue had thought she could win the man over and use him to avenge herself.
Instead, he wore her out day and night, but refused to give her a title.
She had to make her own plans.
By the time Ke Shaocheng had become addicted to her,
the young woman had already avenged herself and run off with a bundle on her back.
With the entire army as witness, the usually composed prince’s eyes turned red.
