After twelve years of deep love, she guarded a lonely house, enduring the cold winters, cooking a pot of pickled vegetables, waiting for someone who would never return.
When Shen Zhaoning put on his official robe and broke the wind and brought back another girl, Jiang Yunji realized that the promise made by the young man had long expired.
She acted as a considerate and decent mistress, covering up a heart that had long since drifted.
When her sincerity was exhausted by repeated neglect, she took off her identity as the mistress of the Shen family and turned around and walked out of the high wall of the wealthy family.
There is no need to ask when she will return. For the rest of her life, she does not have to wait for anyone, she will be the one to return home.
Purpose: In the context of ancient marriage, women do not need to place their value in life on the happiness of their husbands returning home. Self-fulfillment is not the result of others' giving.
