We have been childhood sweethearts for ten years. I disguised myself as a man and accompanied Tang Chaoyang to study and practice martial arts.
The two families had made an engagement early, and everyone said that we were a match made in heaven.
It wasn't until the prime minister's daughter Tang Qingqing entered the academy that he saw me making a fool of myself for the first time but stood idly by.
"Qingyan, can you be a bit like the daughter of a minister?"
From then on, his eyes never fell on me again.
There were many misunderstandings, but he only listened to her words and believed her tears.
The last time, Tang Qingqing falsely accused me of pushing her into the water, and Tang Chaoyang asked me to kneel down and apologize in public.
Prince Wei Tianqiao came across the water, took off his cloak and put it on my soaked body: "Miss Xu, I will take you back to my residence."
At that moment I suddenly understood - for some people, missing out is a blessing.
A year later, the prince came to propose marriage, and Shili Hongzhuang married me as his concubine.
Tang Chaoyang knelt outside the palace gate and begged to see him. I only replied:
"Thank you, General, for not marrying me, for allowing me to meet my true love."
