[Ancient proverb about conspiracy + chasing wife in the crematorium + forceful pulling + faking death to escape + broken mirror never reunited]
Everyone in the capital knew that the marriage of the eldest princess Xie Changning to the regent Huo Chenyuan was a wishful act of condescension.
Three years after their marriage, she helped him eliminate his political enemies, raised his adopted son, and maintained the dignified and virtuous character of the regent princess for him.
But Huo Chenyuan always gave her only rules, cold faces, and the cold words "don't cross the line" late at night.
It wasn't until Huo Chenyuan's Bai Yueguang, who was living among the people, was brought back to the palace, and saw him disobeying the imperial edict and messing up his position for another woman, that Xie Changning finally came to a realization in this dead end.
She left behind a letter of farewell and a glass of poisonous wine, and burned herself to death in a cold, cold courtyard on a snowy winter night, along with the love in her heart.
The moment he heard the news of his death, the regent, who was always strategizing and whose face remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, stained the white marble steps of the court hall red with a mouthful of blood.
Later, the arrogant and wanton female head of the richest family in Jiangnan appeared.
The regent, who had all the power in the world, had red eyes, abandoned his country, and knelt in front of the house of the female family leader for three days and three nights, his voice hoarse: "Chang Ning, please... Look at me."
The female head of the family raised his chin condescendingly and smiled carelessly: "Your Majesty, you have admitted the wrong person. I only want a male favorite here, not an ancestor."
