I’ll Never Look Back! Why Choose a Scumbag Husband When the Prince Is So Much Better?

Xue Jinrao, daughter of a merchant to the imperial court, suffered hearing loss in an accident as a child and became a deaf girl everyone could bully.

Only the Fourth Prince, Su Jingran, defied worldly prejudice. He pleaded with the emperor for permission and welcomed her into his residence in a grand bridal sedan, as his principal wife.

She devoted herself to Su Jingran's ambitions, pouring the entire household's wealth into helping him ascend the throne.

Then, at the empress's investiture ceremony, he suddenly turned against her and ordered her and more than fifty members of her family executed.

She died full of resentment, unable to rest in peace!

Reborn, she regained her hearing and heard for herself as he coldly spoke of the woman he loved.

“Back then, the Xue family mistreated Pin'er. Taking Xue Jinrao's hearing was merely a little payback...”

“If I hadn't wanted revenge for Pin'er, why would I have bothered flattering that deaf girl?”

So that was the truth!

Now that everything was clear, Xue Jinrao vowed never to enter the Fourth Prince's residence again! She would personally reclaim everything she had lost in her previous life!

Later, Su Jingran knelt in the rain for three days and three nights. “Rao'er, that wicked woman Liu Miaopin was behind all of this. I'll have both her ears cut off for you. I only ask that you come back to me!”

But the aloof, noble man gently drew Xue Jinrao into his arms.

“Rao'er is the Princess Consort of Prince Zhennan, whom I married with a lavish procession and ten miles of wedding gifts. What chance does my imperial nephew have against me?”

At first, Xue Jinrao believed she had ulterior motives. She deliberately approached Prince Zhennan, deceived him about her feelings, and schemed to become Su Jingran's imperial aunt by marriage.

Little did she know that he had seen through her all along, and was more than happy to play along.
