The General's Manor had a legitimate eldest daughter, a woman of peerless beauty and grace.
Countless young masters in Shengjing were captivated by her.
Unfortunately, she was not blessed with good fortune and had a miserable fate. One careless mistake, and she offended the Crown Prince of Liang, the young Crown Prince.
The young Crown Prince made it known that the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, Yan Ruzhuo, was overbearing and unreasonable, and that all his officials should keep their distance from her.
From then on, the great noble families avoided Yan Ruzhuo like the plague. Later, she came down with a strange illness, had her engagement broken off, and was shunned. She became an older woman who could not find a husband.
The Duke of Ning coveted the Yan family's lovely eldest daughter and declared that he was willing to marry her as his second wife.
Everyone sighed with regret. That peerlessly beautiful young woman had ended up in such a state.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the older woman would become the Crown Princess? When the young Crown Prince ascended the throne, the General's Manor's legitimate eldest daughter, said to have a miserable fate, became the empress, a woman above all others.
Everyone: Overbearing and unreasonable? We must keep our distance?
Yan Ruzhuo: What do you think I did to offend him back then?
#If he hadn't done that first, would I have been bored enough to offend the Crown Prince?#
#He looked like such a fair-skinned boy. How did he turn so dark?#
When the imperial edict arrived, Yan Ruzhuo sighed.
Fine. If I become the Crown Princess, I'll be empress one day. Though it's a political marriage, it can protect everyone in the General's Manor, so it's not a bad thing.
After their wedding, the young Crown Prince pinned her in a corner of the bed, his expression so possessive it was nearly despairing.
