The most outrageous thing Xie Changning has ever done in his life is to marry Shen Zhao.
At that time, she was the illegitimate daughter of the Xie family, and he was the destitute general who had been demoted. Two people who had been abandoned by their families hugged each other for warmth in the cold night in the border town and made a promise.
Later, he returned to Beijing, quelled the rebellion, and became a marquis. Later, he sent back a divorce note.
Everyone said that Xie Changning should hate him.
She also thought she would hate it.
It was not until three years later that she returned to the capital as the daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and met him on a narrow road at a palace banquet.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at this legendary businesswoman who could fill the national treasury, and asked her with a smile if she had ever known Lord Shen.
She picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Master Shen Hou is famous, who doesn't know it?"
——But he never mentioned that she was his wife back then.
The knuckles of Shen Zhao's hand holding the wine glass turned white.
He finally understood that some things were harder to regain than the country.
"All my life, I have planned the world, but I have only missed one thing."
"What?"
"I still love you."
Intention: Love is not about attachment, but about being side by side. The real reunion is when each becomes a better version of himself and then chooses each other again.
