Lu Qizhi was reborn.
In her previous life, on the night she learned she was pregnant, she overheard her husband, Shen Huai'an, telling the doctor, “Get rid of the baby. Better if it dies.”
She pushed the door open and saw him holding his sister-in-law, Lin Xiangning.
During their argument, he shoved her to the ground. She lost the baby, and they threw her out into a blizzard. As she lay dying, she heard Lin Xiangning laugh. “That little bastard is gone? Good riddance.”
When she opened her eyes again, she was back on her wedding night.
Shen Huai'an was holding Lin Xiangning and saying he would “carry on both family lines.”
This time, she smiled and agreed, then turned to order her maid, “Go find Shen Yan.”
The next day, at the tea ceremony, Lin Xiangning sat in the main seat wearing a peach-red dress, hinting at their night together. Lu Qizhi promptly splashed hot tea in her face.
“You think you deserve that?”
That night, Lu Qizhi was sent to the abandoned Cangwu Courtyard.
Late at night, she slipped into a secret chamber and found Shen Yan, who had been missing for three months. A white silk bandage covered his eyes, and he was painfully thin, yet he saw right through her intentions. “If I die now, it won't do you any good.”
