Admiring her brother Shen Ye has been the obsession of Shen Yun, a talented girl from Jiangzuo, for half her life.
That night at the Yuan Lantern Festival, Shen Yun mustered up the courage to express her love, but what she got in return was her brother's merciless scolding.
"Shameless."
To put an end to her delusions, Shen Ye gave her as a concubine to the new top scholar Xie Zhao.
On the day the red sedan chair was carried out of Shen's mansion, he stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back and never looked back.
One wrong step, every wrong step.
*
The back house of Zhuangyuan Mansion is another prison.
The mistress made things difficult for her in every possible way and regarded Shen Yun as a thorn in her side. The rumors and rumors were like a knife, which dulled the once beautiful girl.
Shen Yun was seriously injured in a vicious plot and fled back to Shen's house in embarrassment on a rainy night.
Shen Ye took care of her all night, which actually made her think that her brother was also affectionate towards her.
But she was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Zhao picked her up again.
A pot of turbid wine disturbed Shen Yun's heartstrings and made her spend a ridiculous night.
Immediately, she was involved in the poetry case again and was nailed to death.
…
On the day of the Meridian Gate Examination, Shen Ye was the top scholar in high school.
But no one knew that he refused to marry her and asked for a decree to pardon her at the cost of a bright future.
He left everything behind and ran wildly, with only one thought in his mind: to take her home.
"The imperial decree has arrived—Mrs. Shen, forgive me!"
The sword paused, but Shen Yun raised his head to face the blade.
Blood splattered.
He was the one who hurt her the most in the world; it was him who wanted to save her in the end.
But Shen Yun would rather die.
The sword hanging on the Meridian Gate, looking back on my life, I regret the most——
Infatuated with the wrong seed, he mistakenly promised his brother.
Intention: This body is not willing to pay for the dirt, and I will be alone in the sky for eternity.
