[The scumbag and his family regret everything after their downfall + rivals fighting for her in a battlefield of love + strong female lead who never forgives or looks back] Wen Yan is the last Grand Diviner in the world capable of controlling a nation's destiny.
She conceals her identity and supports Xie Jincheng for three years, helping him place third in the imperial examinations.
He promises to marry no one but her, yet after passing the exams and returning home, he sends a servant to dismiss her.
“Wen Yan, it's an honor for you even to be his concubine. Do you really think you're worthy of the top scholar? Hand over the marriage contract and get out of here! Don't cause our young master any trouble!”
Ha. So much for staying true to your sweetheart once you've made it to shore.
He has no idea that everything he has now is thanks to the path she paved for him.
When they meet again, she is the ruler and he is her subject.
Kneeling before her, he begs over and over, “Yanyan, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life for old times' sake.”
Spare your life? I'll grant you death!
You broke our engagement to climb the social ladder. Now that I rule from behind the curtain, why are you crying?
Very beautiful, good story
