Shen Yun has been reborn.
Reborn at the age of fifteen, at the birthday banquet of Princess Dowager Qi, at the very moment Qi Zhao publicly asked her to let her half-sister, Shen Qiao, become his second wife.
In her previous life, she was foolish and endured it.
In return, she suffered five years of humiliation in the inner residence, lost the face Qi Zhao had personally disfigured, and was smashed to pieces when she fell off a cliff.
In this life, she smiled in front of all the guests and said, "Since the heir wants to marry my sister, I will grant you your wish. But the engagement between us is over."
The whole hall was stunned.
Princess Dowager Qi's face turned livid, Qi Zhao dropped his wineglass, and Shen Qiao wept like a broken-hearted beauty. But Shen Yun knew this was only the beginning.
She would make the treacherous couple pay for their blood debts, make her hypocritical father see her stepmother's true colors, and make everyone who had wronged her in her previous life pay the price, one by one.
But she never expected that on the night she broke off the engagement, Qi Zhao would sabotage her. Fleeing in a panic beyond the palace walls, she collided with a man and fell into his arms. He spent the night with her, then left at dawn. She never even saw his face.
Until the flower-viewing banquet at Prince Yan's residence, when the powerful, aloof Prince Yan, Chu Heng, who kept women at a distance, approached her, raised his cup in a toast, and smiled down at her. "Miss Shen, you helped me with more than just a little money. What, have you forgotten?"
Only then did Shen Yun realize that the man she had clung to that night was him.
One was a powerful prince with troops at his command, cold and abstinent. The other was the marquis's legitimate daughter, who had broken off her engagement in public and become the subject of scandal.
The whole capital was waiting to laugh at her, saying that no one but Qi Zhao would dare marry her.
Shen Yun smiled.
"Then let them see which of us is truly unworthy of the other."
