Su Wanyu's husband was the heir to the Marquis of Pingcheng. Before their marriage, she had no desire to become embroiled in the affairs of a powerful clan, but she eventually gave in to the heir's persistent courtship and married him.
After the wedding, the heir remained true to his nature, taking one concubine after another. He often complained that Su Wanyu was always so dull and unresponsive, unlike his concubines, who knew how to please him.
Later, the heir brought back a tall, alluringly beautiful woman from the Western Regions.
What no one expected was that on the night he took her as a concubine, the heir died in the bridal bed.
Amid the chaos, Su Wanyu followed the people of the residence to the bridal chamber. She watched as the heir's body was carried out, then looked up and met the gaze of the new concubine seated on the bed.
Her eyes shimmered gently, seemingly glistening with tears in the dim light.
Su Wanyu took pity on the concubine, sorry that she had faced such a terrifying ordeal on her wedding night. She drew her into her arms and comforted her softly.
But she failed to notice the slight stiffness in the concubine's body as she held her, or the utter indifference in those dark eyes.
As the days passed, the two grew closer, and Su Wanyu gradually began to notice that something was amiss.
Only when her belly began to swell did she stare at the person before her in terror. She wanted to run, but it was too late to escape.
