My Ex Is the Chancellor

The princess has returned from a political marriage and is about to marry for the second time. And her second husband is no ordinary man: he is the Chancellor of the realm. The Chancellor is only twenty-eight, and as beautiful as a flower. Wait... Why would something like this happen to her? Oh, Jin Ban suddenly remembers. She and the Chancellor really do have some history. He is the ex she once took up with and then abandoned. They were childhood sweethearts, engaged from an early age, and were just one step away from getting married. Then, as these things go, something unexpected happened, and the wedding was called off. They each promptly married someone else, and went their separate ways, never to meet again. Over the years, Jin Ban has often heard about the meteoric rise of her beautiful, brilliant, tragic ex. Word was that he kept getting promoted, climbing higher and higher, until, still a young man, he held power over the court and became Chancellor. But who could have guessed that, ten years later, after life had taken them in circles, one would be a widow and the other a widower, and a matchmaker would bring them together to rekindle their old romance? * At eighteen, Pei Zhen was Yujing's most handsome top graduate, riding his horse beside the bridge as ladies waved from every floor. At twenty-eight, Chancellor Pei was the emperor's guardian and held all the power in court. On their long-delayed wedding night, ten years late, they looked at each other, and Jin Ban was still the first to speak.
