Everyone thought that Gege Qing'an was merely the orphaned daughter of Prince Yu, adopted by the Empress Dowager.
No one knew she was Zhen Huan's biological daughter.
The day she married Xiao Jian, Qing'er thought she was heading toward freedom. But less than six months into their marriage, the chivalrous wanderer who had vowed to roam the world with a flute and a sword showed his true colors: domestic violence, marriage fraud, and psychological control. From beginning to end, he had treated her as nothing but a pawn.
He broke her ribs and caused her to lose her child. When she reached out for help, Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi brushed off her letters with talk of “being understanding” and “putting up with it.” Utterly despondent, Qing'er used her last ounce of strength to flee back to the capital and kneel outside the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.
The Empress Dowager rushed out and held her close in the snow.
That night, Qing'er finally learned the truth: the jade pendant on her wrist, engraved with the character “Huan,” had never been an ordinary gift.
She was the Empress Dowager's biological daughter.
From then on, Gege Qing'an stopped enduring it. Xiao Jian's marriage fraud was exposed in public, Ziwei's “one man for life” argument was refuted point by point, and Xiaoyanzi could no longer get away with saying, “He's my brother.”
Someone asked her what gave her the right.
Qing'er looked down at the jade pendant on her wrist and smiled.
