On the day of the substitute marriage, Xiao Jingheng held my wrist and said, "Act well and don't be sincere."
I nodded in agreement, and then——
We acted as a model couple in the capital, until he left the sixth palace vacant for me, and until the whole city knew that the regent was henpecked.
The enemy provoked: "Your Majesty, my wife is a daughter of the Su family."
He played with my hair casually: "So what? The Su family is the Su family, and Wan'er is Wan'er."
I thought he really understood the difference.
Until that day, he personally jailed my father and brother: "Wan'er, this is what they owe the Xiao family."
I smiled and drank the "anti-fetal medicine" he handed me, and that night I burned down the wedding hall.
After being on the run for three years, I took my son to sell tofu, while he took his cavalry all over the world to find his wife.
On the day we met again, his scarlet eyes stared at me against the wall:
"Teach me... How can I continue acting without you?"
