Xie Linghe:
My fiance died on the battlefield, my father passed away from illness, and my older brother was demoted and sent to the southwest.
With the family on the brink of ruin, my mother schemed to marry me off to Lu Ci, heir to a duke’s estate.
Lu Ci was a stickler for propriety. Although he didn’t care much for me, my life wasn’t too difficult.
But one day, Shen Yi, the fiance who had died in battle, came back.
I couldn’t give Lu Ci my whole heart, nor could I face Shen Yi.
I thought leaving was for the best.
Lu Ci:
I knew exactly what she’d arranged that night.
I looked down on her. For the sake of power, she’d sleep with anyone, wouldn’t she? She could have schemed against anyone. I just happened to be the one she chose.
But I wasn’t so noble either.
Watching her approach me, trembling, I pulled her into my arms.
It didn’t matter. I’d give her a title, and that was that.
After we married, she bore me a daughter and managed the household. Our days were peaceful.
Until I found out that she’d once had a fiance, and that she chose me only because I resembled him.
Her former fiance came back, and she decided to leave me.
But why should I let her?
In this life, I will never let her go!
