Jiang Ruowan, the legitimate daughter of the Great General Who Guards the Nation, wagered her entire clan to force a marriage with the top palace graduate. All she got in return was a ruined family and a fatal fall from a cliff.
As she lay dying, the only person who came to gather her remains was the least-favored Seventh Prince. He sighed, “You were like the sun itself. You never deserved to meet such an end.”
Reborn on the day before her betrothal was decreed, she tore up the marriage contract on the spot, rode straight into the hunting grounds, and threw herself into the Seventh Prince’s arms before everyone.
Her words cut like a blade: “I am the legitimate daughter of the Great General Who Guards the Nation. Marrying you is no loss!”
In this life, she’ll kick her scumbag ex to the curb, avenge her family, and hold tight to the one man who gave her dignity in her previous life. She swears she’ll tear up the script fate wrote for her!
But behind the vermilion walls of the prince’s estate, misunderstandings cut like knives and suspicion poisons everything.
He asks coldly, “Why are you getting close to me? Is it to repay a debt, or for power?”
She smiles through her tears. “If I wanted power, why would I choose you?”
