When Du Wanwan woke up, she discovered she'd aged ten years.
The Great Yue Dynasty had fallen, and so had her father. Yet she'd finally married the man she'd loved from afar: Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou was the pretty boy Du Wanwan had lavished her love on, only to never win his heart.
And now this guy had become the Grand Chancellor? And she, once the hated princess of the fallen dynasty, had become the beloved wife of the Grand Chancellor?
Everyone wanted her dead, but the Grand Chancellor cherished her above all else.
And it seemed she'd repaid his kindness by spending every day either plotting to assassinate him or thinking about ending her own life?
Apparently, this time she'd drunk poison in despair and nearly died...
Du Wanwan was dumbfounded. Had she really been that brave?
Every concubine in the household saw her as a thorn in their side.
The secondary consort even knelt for ages, swearing on her life and begging the Grand Chancellor to execute Du Wanwan, the remnant of the fallen dynasty.
Du Wanwan: "I'm done for!"
That secondary consort was Jiang Zhou's beloved first love. Back then, Jiang Zhou had rejected Du Wanwan for her sake.
The secondary consort was kneeling and pleading with him. He must be heartbroken, and he definitely wouldn't let Du Wanwan off.
But Jiang Zhou said, "Swearing on your life? You're not dead, so what exactly are you swearing to?"
Du Wanwan: ?
Wasn't she your beloved first love?
Jiang Zhou's birth mother, Lady Li, cried out in anguish: "Zhou'er! You've had so many concubines executed for her, and she nearly took your life! This remnant of the fallen dynasty must be killed!"
Du Wanwan: I'm done for!
Jiang Zhou was famous for his filial piety. Surely he'd listen to his mother and have her killed!
Instead, Jiang Zhou knelt on the floor. "Mother, if Wanwan dies, I won't live on either."
Du Wanwan: ?
Later...
After learning that the Grand Chancellor's household had more than a dozen consorts, Du Wanwan said, "...And you still have the nerve to pretend you're devoted to me?"
She left behind a divorce agreement and escaped in the dead of night. Goodbye. I think I can find someone better.
Later, she ran, he chased, and then they...
Theme: I love you. Just kidding.
