In her previous life, Shen Qingqiu, the prime minister’s legitimate daughter, loved Wei Changfeng with all her heart. She gave up her family for him and paved his way to success.
But from the moment they met, he had been plotting against her, step by step, until he became a great general. The emperor then issued an edict commanding them to marry.
On their wedding night, he held Su Xue in his arms and looked down at Shen Qingqiu with disgust. “How could you possibly be worthy of becoming a general’s wife?” Su Xue stepped forward, slashed Shen Qingqiu’s face, and drove a dagger into her heart.
Reborn after the imperial wedding edict, Shen Qingqiu went to the palace to see His Majesty, Chu Junhuai, and told him she did not want to marry Wei Changfeng. Chu Junhuai agreed.
Wei Changfeng panicked. He went to the prime minister’s residence and knelt at the gate, begging for forgiveness.
Shen Qingqiu sneered. “Why put on an act? If you want to kneel, then keep kneeling. I was blind in my previous life to have ever fallen for you.”
Eunuch Liu arrived from the palace to read out the edict making her empress.
Shen Qingqiu accepted the edict and married into the palace.
“Your Majesty, I helped you. How do you plan to repay me?”
