Xie Zhiyi died once.
He died because of his concubine's plot, because of his father's indifference, and in the cold winter when no one cared about him. It was only after she died that she found out that the Prince of Zhenbei whom she pushed away with her own hands had resisted the decree and refused to marry and had never married. He had been investigating the cause of death for her all her life.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet when she was fifteen.
The concubine's cup of medicated tea was still in her hand, her stepmother's fake smile was still on her face, and her father still looked at her so casually.
This time, Xie Zhiyi did not take the cup of tea.
She said: "Second sister, drink. Didn't you just complain that you were thirsty?"
Since then, the eldest lady of the Xie family has changed. She no longer tolerates, no longer gives in, no longer gives away things that belong to her eldest daughter. Was the engagement robbed? She went directly to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for marriage. The stepmother is greedy? She spread the account books in the main hall for the whole family to see.
Everyone laughed at her that she was crazy - because she chose the most useless dude in the capital, Xiao Jue, the prince of Zhenbei. A fighting cock and a lackey, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, the number one loser in Beijing.
On the wedding night, the red candles were burning high.
Xiao Jue lifted her hijab and his first words were: "I have been riding that horse for ten years."
Xie Zhiyi's eyes heated up.
It turned out that he was back too.
In this life, she is no longer alone. She is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, and the "dandy" she married hid a knife that had been sharpened for ten years. As it happens, so is she.
