You Betrayed My Love in This Mortal World

I was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu’an’s household. I was lost as a child and wasn’t found by my parents until I was fifteen.

At the reunion banquet my parents held for me, the marquis’s adopted daughter pushed me into an icy lake. No one dared to save me. Only Fu Xingzhi, heir to the Marquis of Dingyuan, jumped in and pulled me out. When he rescued me, my clothes were disheveled, and I was in his arms.

The chill had harmed my health, and the imperial physician said I would likely have difficulty bearing children. Fu Xingzhi said that since he had rescued me, we had shared physical intimacy, and he would marry me. After we wed, we were a loving couple, treating each other with mutual respect.
