Parting from You, Unshaken by Spring

I found a down-and-out prince and cured the poison of lust in his body. He coaxed me into sharing his bed day after day.

But when he regained his identity as Crown Prince and returned to the palace, he ordered the entire Wuyi Lane burned to the ground.

My parents and younger sister died before my eyes. It was the young guard Pei Yan who charged into the flames and saved me.

“A Yuan, I have loved you for a long time. If you will marry me, you will be my only wife for the rest of my life. I will never betray you.”

Years later, Pei Yan earned military honors and became a general, while I became the general's wife and fell pregnant.

Everyone envied my good fortune, until I overheard Pei Yan talking with a friend.

“How much does she resemble Lin Yueyan? You risked execution to save her back then.”

“Yueyan is already the Crown Princess. There can be nothing between us now. Yuan Yuan is the only one who resembles her, and she is a small comfort to me.”

“But if Madam ever finds out that you suggested to the Crown Prince that he kill her entire family, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep even this substitute...”

I once thought the one who saved me from the darkest period of my life was my salvation. In truth, he was another hell.

If that's how it is, I'll give him what he wants.
