In Shen Heng's life, everyone has been making choices for her.
After her parents died, the clan members coveted the family property and forced her to marry a poor scholar who had nothing. Jiang Yan had no father or mother and came from a humble family, but he never touched her dowry or forced her to do anything.
When she was sick, he kept vigil at night to cook medicine. She wanted to check the accounts, and he blocked the Shen family for her. When she said she wanted to leave, he even wrote the letter of separation for her.
Everyone said that she was wrongly married.
Only Shen Heng knew that Jiang Yan treated her very well.
It was so good that she occasionally thought that if this life continued like this, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
But she can't forget the violent death of her parents, and she can't forget the years when she was manipulated by her tribe.
So on the day she left, she took the initiative to hug Jiang Yan, and when he thought she finally couldn't let him go, she stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
Tears fell, but she didn't let go.
"Jiang Yan, others have chosen for me all these years."
"This time, I want to choose myself."
On the second day, she was dressed in a wedding dress and was carried on a red sedan chair into the Xuanping Hou Mansion to perform a wedding ceremony for the seriously ill eldest son of the Hou Mansion.
She thought that from now on, the mountains and rivers would be far away, and her past would be gone.
It wasn't until a few years later that the Hou Mansion found an illegitimate son who had been living abroad.
The man was sitting high in front of the hall, with unfamiliar features and a casual expression. When he saw her for the first time, he called out with a smile:
"Sister-in-law."

Jiang Yan once thought that as long as he treated her well enough, one day she would be willing to stay.
Later he found out that she had indeed fallen in love with him.
It's just not enough, not enough for her to give up her parents' hatred, not enough for her to give up the power at her fingertips, not enough for her to choose him once between herself and him.
After escaping death, he recognized his ancestors, changed his name, and changed his heart.
He wanted her to lose everything she had now, wanted her to fall in love with him again, and then personally told her that the person she chose for the second time would still be the husband she killed with her own hands.
But when she was really moved, he went crazy first.
He hated her for not choosing him back then, and even more hated him now for actually getting her love again.
Later, Shen Heng realized that the most difficult thing in the world to repay was never human life, but the sincerity of a person who had been held in front of her but she threw away with her own hands.
Purpose: Loving yourself is the beginning of lifelong happiness
