Han Qingzi, Yang Zi's childhood sweetheart, suddenly died of an illness after they married. In an era that favored sons over daughters, Yang Zi was unexpectedly chosen by the wealthy Fan family to become a secondary wife. Forced to marry into the Fan family for the sake of her two children, Yang Zi still can't forget Qingzi. Little does she know, a huge secret awaits her behind the Fan family's doors. With a stubborn, chauvinistic husband on one side and a gentle, wonderful stranger who repeatedly comes to her rescue on the other, where will Yang Zi's heart ultimately belong? Here's a thrilling excerpt:
Mother said, “A wedding dress is meant to be worn for the person you love.” But I wore one twice. On my wedding night, I was hurt all over again. My heart drifted away like a willow leaf.
“Have you never had even the slightest affection for me? Do you really think I'm generous enough to put up with you loving a man who's already dead?” He panted on top of me, growling in my ear.
“He wasn't just anyone. He was my childhood sweetheart,” I said bitterly. Tears streamed from the corners of my eyes, falling onto my bright red wedding dress.
