In my previous life, I was always chasing after Qi Yanzhi. Even when he despised me, I never backed down. In the end, I got my wish and married him.
I thought my sincere feelings had moved him, but it was all a scheme. I was merely a pawn in a game of chess.
I was trapped in it, unable to escape. When I learned my family had been killed, I was so distraught that I coughed up blood.
Only as I lay dying did I understand: I hadn’t moved him at all. He had only needed the support of my general’s mansion. Now that he had everything he wanted, the Marquis’s household had to be disposed of, and I had to make way for the woman he loved.
I was full of regret and anguish, but there was nothing I could do. Just as I was about to die, I saw him rushing toward me. So he had been protecting and accompanying me from the shadows all along.
I was such a fool. I couldn’t see who was truly worthy of my trust.
Very well written, I like it very much
