On the first day of the marriage, the poisonous wine was detected. I turned around and spread the account books that the housekeeper had been embezzling for nine years in front of the Marquis.
He looked at me for three breaths, took off his mask and said, "You can look through the files in Xinuang Pavilion at will. If you die, I will collect the body."
Later, I found out about my mother's unjust case, and he found out about the cause of his father's death—we intertwined the threads of the two cases in a Buddhist hall.
Later, I single-handedly suppressed the price of food in the capital, and hundreds of officials in the court jointly sponsored me to join the cabinet.
On the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, I knelt to receive the decree. When I looked up, I saw Shen Che standing next to the dragon throne and extending a hand towards me——
"Madam, it's time to go to court."
Those who said back then that substitute marriage was a dead end would never know——
I turned a dead end into a road to heaven.
