[Deliberate seduction + childhood sweethearts + winning back his wife]
After Wei Congshuang was drugged, she took her younger half-sister’s place and married the heir to a marquis’s title. The heir had no idea, and he was a victim of the marriage too.
Though they didn’t get along, when they were pressured to have a child, they put on an act together to fool his mother-in-law.
Two years later, Wei Congshuang went to a temple to pray for a child and ran into her childhood sweetheart, Hua Chong.
Wei Congshuang demanded to know why Hua Chong had given up his position as Grand Secretary and retreated into monastic life.
Hua Chong demanded to know why she had gotten married.
Taking advantage of the wine, Wei Congshuang asked, “It’s been two years, and now you have the nerve to say things like that. What were you doing back then?”
Hua Chong said, “Divorce him.”
At last, their divorce came through, but a palace coup broke out, and Hua Chong married someone else.
