Nine years ago, Nan Shengsheng was the most dazzling little princess of the Marquis of Zhenxi’s household. Nine years later, she was the woman Xiao Zeshen held dearest to his heart.
He never visited brothels, kept no mistresses, and took no concubines. Everyone said she was lucky to have found such a good husband.
He defied an imperial decree and rejected a princess for her.
Nan Shengsheng thought she had found the finest man under heaven.
For him, she defied her parents, gave up her reputation, and eloped with him without a second thought.
Xiao Zeshen said, “Shengsheng, I swear I’ll never let you down.”
Nan Shengsheng believed him.
Until her father died on the battlefield and she found Xiao Zeshen holding another woman. That was when she learned how easily people’s hearts can change, and that no one is an exception.
At last, she saw things clearly, stopped clinging to him, and chose to divorce.
But the man who had changed his heart knelt before her. “Shengsheng, I regret it.”
Nan Shengsheng gave a soft laugh. “Regret it? I regret it too. I regret ever knowing you.”
