That unexpected incident from two years ago always came back to her in the dead of night, reminding Shen Yue that a man like him had once entered her life.
As the eldest legitimate daughter of an earl's household, she accompanied her mother on a thousand-mile journey to mourn a relative when she was fourteen. Just as she was filled with anticipation, her childhood sweetheart and younger half-sister betrayed her, making her the laughingstock of the capital.
How could Prince Regent Mu Yun Zhao let the woman he had thought of every day for two years become another man's wife? He drew closer, little by little, and slowly changed, all so he could make his way into her heart.
The imperial court was rife with danger, and schemes abounded. On the night of the coup, he wanted to let go of her hand and push her out of the maelstrom, so she could return to being that innocent young woman and live a carefree life.
By candlelight, the woman, lovely as a begonia in bloom, pointed at him without the slightest fear. "Mu Yun Zhao, you were the one who pursued me first. Don't think you can cast me aside now. In my life, divorce is not an option. Either we live together in harmony, or we die and are buried together."
Mu Yun Zhao drew her into his arms. "All right. I'll take you with me, in this life and the next. I'll have no regrets."
Many years later, a little dumpling looked at the pile of memorials before him and complained, "Father, if you don't even like being emperor, why did you take on the burden?"
The man raised his brows. "So your mother will never have to kneel to anyone for the rest of her life."
He wanted her to live a carefree life!

Dear little angels, thank you for your collection. This article will be suspended for a period of time. All the articles written later have been deleted. The author is rewriting and cannot guarantee updates, so I decided to suspend it. I will update the pre-collected article "White Moonlight of the Paranoid God of War" first, but it will continue to be updated later. If you are interested, you can collect the new article! I'm very sorry. Is it convenient for everyone to leave a message? Thank you for the red envelope from the author!
I feel like the narration of the story is a little sloppy, so the author will continue to work hard.
