[One-on-one romance + both leads are virgins + no rekindling with the ex + devoted love + a new husband + palace and household intrigue]
A clear-eyed, ruthless Chancellor's legitimate daughter × a patient, devoted third son
They pledged themselves to each other at fifteen and married at eighteen.
Shen Ciwan thought she would have the devoted love of one person for a lifetime.
But on their wedding day, with only the final step of the ceremony remaining, her fiancé, Xie Chengyuan, abandoned her in front of all their guests for another woman from the Shen family.
Everyone in the hall, whether pitying or amused, waited to see the Chancellor's legitimate daughter become the laughingstock of the capital.
But Shen Ciwan had never been one to let others trample on her.
If Xie Chengyuan could treat her so cruelly, why should she save face?
Just then, Xie Sui'an, the Wang family's third son born to a concubine, appeared before her. He had suddenly returned to the manor from his travels.
Shen Ciwan had an idea. In front of everyone, she asked three questions, each one clear and firm:
“Third Young Master Xie, do you have any concubines?”
“Any bedchamber attendants?”
“Anyone... you have feelings for?”
Dressed in dark red, Xie Sui'an met her gaze with burning eyes and shook his head three times.
And so, before everyone present, Shen Ciwan, the Chancellor's legitimate daughter, changed the groom and chose a new husband.
Later, Xie Chengyuan, who had discarded her like trash, knelt in the snow and begged her to take him back.
Meanwhile, the concubine-born son who had been brought out to marry her became the Wang family's legitimate heir.
And a darling, fair-skinned daughter joined Shen Ciwan at her side.
From then on, she would always have someone by her side through everything.
She marries the male lead from the start, and the second male lead doesn't get back together with her.
This story is expected to be quite long. Some foreshadowing can't be explained outright, but it will all be revealed later.
It's also hard to judge a maid
It's unreasonable. The male protagonist knows about the illegitimate child and still doesn't tell the female protagonist? Did the author intentionally create a contradiction? I can't think of any reason not to hide it
Good-looking, good-looking, quite exciting
The article is a bit like ancient prose
Good-looking, the heroine has very upright views
