Meng Wan died in battle on a future battlefield, only to be reborn as the legitimate granddaughter of the former Prince of Tianfeng.
Her father was a dissolute gambler, her mother timid and easily bullied, and her own grandfather pinned all his hopes on her marrying Qi Yan, the Prince of Jing’s son, so that the Meng family could return to the capital.
But on the day of the wedding, Qi Yan indulged his childhood sweetheart, declaring that Meng Wan was unworthy of marrying into the Qi family. In the middle of the street, he embraced his sweetheart in a shameless display of affection.
Meng Wan promptly pulled a beggar out of the crowd, tore off a piece of her wedding dress, and flung it at Qi Yan. She broke off the engagement on the spot, saying she would rather marry a beggar than him.
To her surprise, the beggar she had pulled out was none other than Li Zhenyuan, the great general who had just been ennobled as a prince without imperial blood. This was a fine backer, so she chose him.
After the wedding ceremony went smoothly, Li Zhenyuan, eyes bloodshot and acting like a madman, grabbed Meng Wan by the throat in their bridal chamber.
Meng Wan was utterly stunned. “Huh???”
“Save me, or die.” Li Zhenyuan leaned close and gave Meng Wan a wicked smile.
Gloomily, Meng Wan thought: A mountain can really collapse, even when it’s your backer. He’s going to crush me to death, aaah!
Later, she said, “Li Zhenyuan, if you dare to die, I dare to remarry with your baby in tow!”
