My husband, Zhang Xifu, and I made a living selling tofu.
In my previous life, the Princess of Lin'an took a liking to him while out sightseeing.
I confessed that we were husband and wife. I even risked lying that I was pregnant, and only then did the princess give up the idea of bringing him into her residence.
Everyone felt sorry for him. He had married young, and now he had lost a golden opportunity to rise to prominence.
Zhang Xifu didn't blame me. He only said that having me was enough for him in this life.
Until three months later, when a devastating flood struck the capital. We had no food to eat and nowhere to live.
Zhang Xifu cut open my belly.
"This is all your fault. You said you were pregnant, so I couldn't enter the princess's residence, and now I've ended up like this. Fortune favors the bold. Don't you know that?"
Only then did I realize that he resented me for blocking his path to success.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the Princess of Lin'an asked what our relationship was.
