The day Jiang Huanyi was forced to marry someone else, the whole capital laughed.
He laughed at her for being a concubine and marrying Shen Qiyuan, a poor servant who was rumored to have "finished her official career".
On the night of the wedding, he was distant and cold: "Since we are not destined, we are just a superficial couple."
She lowered her eyes and responded, hiding all her medical skills and sharpness, just wanting to live peacefully in a deep house.
But later——
My eldest sister knelt in the snow and begged her to save her life. She gently touched the medicine bottle on her sleeve and said, "Sister, you rejected this blessing yourself."
The scumbag father held up the family tree and asked her to recognize her ancestors. She burned the page in front of everyone: "I am the wife of the Shen family."
But the man who said they wanted to be a "superficial couple" pushed her into the corner step by step, his eyes darkened: "Hua Yi, now that you have entered my door, you can never escape in this life."
[Marriage first, love later + double cleansing + cultivation of powerful ministers + hidden medical skills]
On his way up the ladder from humble servant to first-rank assistant, she was the only one who had seen him in his truest form.
