That year, she saved the gravely wounded Ye Lingxiao.
He was blind, and she nursed him with tender care. After two years together, they fell in love.
She fell off a cliff while gathering herbs to save him.
That year, he recovered and returned to the capital.
But the gentle man of the past was gone. He treated her as a scheming woman who had climbed her way to power, casting her aside like trash.
She thought he had stopped loving her, only to discover that his tenderness had gone to the younger sister who shared no blood ties with her.
He had mistaken her for someone else!
That year, he married two women at once.
She finally married him as a concubine, hoping he would recognize her and clear up the misunderstanding.
But he only treated her as a tool to prolong the life of that other woman.
They held each other every night, but there was no love in their embraces.
He used her blood to extend the other woman's life, and her child to cure the other woman's illness!
For three years, she was covered in wounds.
Her blazing love could not melt a mountain of ice that had stood for ten thousand years.
She left him.
And he went mad!
When she returned, she was transformed. Now she sat upon the throne, with countless admirers.
But the Prince of Zhan, who had once been hers, had already gone mad with love.
"Zhi Yuan, my wife, my beloved, I was wrong!"
Su Zhiyuan looked down at him from above. "My lord, you were the one who divorced me!"
Although people who watched it were sad before, they still liked the happy ending.
