After the Lanling Xiao family broke off her engagement, Yun Yingzhen went from a noblewoman envied by all to a laughingstock in the imperial capital.
Her aunt despised her for bringing shame on the family and drove her to a separate estate to fend for herself.
Her cousin stole her handwriting and stole the show at a palace banquet, marrying the Xiao family's legitimate son, Yun Yingzhen's former fiance.
In the end, Yun Yingzhen's family was destroyed, and she died a miserable death in the imperial prison.
Reborn at the end of her rope.
Snow fell thickly. Yun Yingzhen, burning with fever and dressed in a single thin garment, fell to her knees before her uncle Prince Rong Yu's carriage.
"Your Highness, please save me."
Rong Yu was handsome and imposing, with countless military achievements to his name. Yet three years ago, he had suffered an accident, fallen from his horse, and broken bones, leaving him unable to walk properly. Since then, his temperament had grown ever more gloomy and ruthless. He was cold-blooded and merciless, and everyone feared him.
He pushed open the carriage window, his expression indifferent. "Just a discarded wife. Why should I save you?"
Yun Yingzhen raised her head and said each word clearly:
"Because I can help Your Highness claim the throne."
Rong Yu stared at her for a long while, then tossed her a fur cloak. "Don't disappoint me."
Rong Yu had loved one person for many years.
Even though she hated him until the day she died.
He gathered her remains, raised an army, and forced his way into the palace, personally killing everyone who had wronged her back then.
On the day he ascended the throne, Rong Yu returned to the beginning of the story. She was kneeling before his carriage, begging him to save her.
Rong Yu kept his thoughts to himself and said nothing, thinking this was nothing more than another calculated attempt to use him.
But this time, she wore his fur cloak, walked to his side, and stayed with him every step of the way. She never left again.
