In the third year of Yong'an, winter.
The red candle burned high, making the wedding room in Jing'an Marquis Mansion as bright as day, but it could not dispel the chill in the air.
Su Wanqing was sitting on the bed covered with a bright red mandarin duck brocade quilt, the phoenix crown and harem weighing her down so much that she could hardly breathe. The thick hijab blocked his sight, and he could only hear his rapid heartbeat, which seemed to be smashed into his chest.
She is not Su Lianyue, not the domineering and domineering eldest lady of the Su family who is famous all over the capital. She is Su Wanqing, the shady second lady of the Su family, an orphan girl who was raised in a side courtyard since she was a child and even the servants dared to bully her at will.
Three days ago, the Su family received an imperial decree, and Xiao Jue, the Marquis of Jingan, was ordered to marry Su Lianyue, the legitimate daughter of the Su family. But Su Lianyue has always been known as "afraid of ugliness" - it is rumored that Xiao Jue, the Marquis of Jing'an, was decisive in killing, with a scar on his face extending from the brow bone to the lower jaw. Su Lianyue cried and refused to die, saying she would rather die than marry an "ugly monster".
