Born a tyrant, Wen Tingshu, the powerful Grand Secretary who held sway over the court, had never truly understood his wife, Xie Peiling, in his previous life.
When he returned to his youth, he had no intention of changing that.
Even if he saw her in this life, stunningly beautiful and charming, with features as lovely as a painting, a clever young lady riding through the capital.
The cold-blooded, heartless Grand Secretary Wen married her and treated her with icy indifference. She was merely a pawn he moved to gain the upper hand in a struggle between factions.
In this life, Wen Tingshu climbed the ladder of power, rose swiftly through the ranks, and played political games. Naturally, he no longer needed to marry her.
But he never expected that, though he had no desire to fight for power this time, he would keep running into her.
She was as vibrant as brilliant spring sunlight falling on fresh green leaves, gradually tracing damp marks across his hardened heart.
Xie Peiling lowered her head to pluck a tender blade of grass. After a long pause, she said softly, "A Shu, I'm getting married. Don't come by again. I won't see you anymore."
In this life, Xie Peiling married Chen. On her wedding night, the Xie family was unexpectedly uprooted and brought crashing down. She walked straight into the trap he had meticulously laid.
A good horse never returns to eat old grass, but how could he be a good horse? At most, he was a bad influence on the herd.
Since he loved her, he would just take her back.
All for fame and profit, one is tossed about with no fixed abode, only to end up carelessly abandoning what matters.
Now he sees her again, her hair piled up in a lovely cloud, and cuts off their parting, to tell a tale more beautiful than any before.
