In her previous life, Shi Chuji gave up her position as head of the Shi family, one of Shenghua’s five great families, for Xu Shengsi, and was disowned by her clan.
She left without hesitation, and after going through all kinds of hardships, she and Xu Shengsi finally found their happy ending.
But when she returned to the day she had made the choice that changed her life, Shi Chuji stood in the ancestral hall of the old family residence, facing the elderly yet kindly patriarch. For some reason, she could no longer summon the resolve she had once felt.
She knew perfectly well that the moment she began to hesitate, her fate in this life was sealed: she would never become the gentle, virtuous Mrs. Xu again.
The family’s trials? A marriage alliance? A heartless, ungrateful fiancé?
This time, I’ll crush them all with my own hands.
Later, Shi Chuji sat securely in the position of head of the Shi family and ran into Xu Shengsi at a banquet.
Eyes red, he asked, “Did you ever love me?”
I swirled my wine glass and smiled faintly.
“I did.”
“Just as you might love a shoddy, cheap imitation.”
