Everyone says Shen Tongshu has no heart.
The second son of Jingzhou’s most powerful family, the Shen family, he is ruthless and never lets feelings sway him. He keeps Mingyue close like prey, saying she is merely “a suitable long-term mistress.”
Over time, Mingyue realized she had given her heart to the wrong man.
She remembered every word he said during that argument.
“You have absolutely no idea what you’re like. Your stupidity is written all over your face.”
“You have no abilities whatsoever, yet you think you can climb the social ladder through marriage. Is that what your parents taught you growing up?”
After their argument, Shen Tongshu disappeared.
Mingyue waited alone in that empty house, never expecting the next news she’d hear about him to be that he was getting married.
She chose to leave.
