During the years Wan Heqiu spent in the prince’s manor, she endured endless humiliation and abuse. She was treated as a plaything for others to manipulate, used by the man she loved to bear him a child, then heartlessly forced to give that child to the woman he loved. All her misery stemmed from the claim that her birth was too lowly.
In the depths of despair and pain, Wan Heqiu chose to leap from a cliff and end it all. Not only did she survive, she also regained her lost memories and uncovered the many mysteries of her fate. She vowed that from then on she would live for herself and let no one control her again.
When Ye Shisheng met her again, she had risen to a position of immense prominence and was beyond reproach.
He regretted not having loved her properly, but Wan Heqiu replied without mercy, “You should suffer just as I did. Only then will you have paid for your sins.”
