At thirteen, she declared that she would marry no one but Shen Huaining. Shen Huaining liked gentle, demure ladies from respectable families, so Xiao Mingzhu learned to cook and embroider for him, curbed her personality, and even gave up her beloved swords. She carefully tried to become the kind of woman Shen Huaining liked, but even after years of marriage into the Shen household, she never once received a kind word from him. The day his concubine moved in, drums and gongs filled the air, guests packed the halls, and the estate overflowed with gifts of gold and silver. The courtyard where Xiao Mingzhu lived was utterly desolate. She lay on her cold bed, and when she died, the only person by her side was a maid who had come with her as part of her dowry. That winter, the snow fell thick and fast, and the cold cut to the bone. Everyone was busy congratulating the young Master Shen on finally marrying the woman he loved and living happily ever after with her. Yet no one remembered the once-glorious Duke of Zhenguo's household, or that its most beloved legitimate daughter had also died of illness that very day. Reborn, she returned to the time when their families had just begun discussing the marriage. Ignoring everyone's shocked protests, Xiao Mingzhu firmly called off the engagement she had once forced upon Shen Huaining. Armed with the memories of her past life, Xiao Mingzhu set her sights on the black-clad youth perched on the roof beam, who had thrown a pebble at her and was grinning with wicked abandon.
