On the day we divorced, Prince Regent Xiao Yan signed the papers without hesitation.
He didn’t know that in the three years I was married to him, I’d taken four blades meant for him, uncovered the truth behind his beloved’s death, and even found evidence that cleared my father’s name.
I thought we’d never meet again.
That is, until an epidemic broke out on the northern frontier and I saved all of Qingzhou single-handedly.
He rode into the quarantine zone, drenched in blood, and dropped to his knees in front of everyone.
“Gu Wanqing, I regret it.”
I looked at him and smiled.
“Your Highness, your beloved doesn’t need you anymore.”
Later, everyone in the capital knew that the Prince Regent stood outside the clinic every day, come rain or shine.
All to wait for the woman he had pushed away with his own hands.
