[Ex-boyfriend's redemption arc + switching husbands]
[Cold on the outside, passionate and lovesick crown prince x gentle, level-headed beauty]
Fuguang was betrothed to Xue Chen as a child. They grew up together, were well matched in status, and were the envy of everyone.
After ten years together, she eagerly looked forward to marrying him.
But on the eve of their wedding, she saw her future husband, Xue Chen, taking shelter from the rain beneath the eaves, another woman in his arms. His eyes held a tender affection Fuguang knew all too well. His hands gathered the woman's hair and brushed away raindrops, his tenderness plain to see.
The love in Fuguang's heart shattered, and she made the most outrageous decision of her seventeen years as a gentle, obedient girl.
She pierced her wedding fan and returned the betrothal gifts, breaking off the engagement.
When the news spread, everyone urged her to be patient and magnanimous, to consider the friendship between their families and preserve the Xue family's reputation, not to betray their childhood bond or damage Xue Chen's career...
No matter what, she could wait until after the wedding to use her authority as the principal wife to deal with the woman who had seduced her husband.
She ignored them all, determined to break off the engagement.
Thank goodness she discovered this disgraceful affair before the wedding, so she wouldn't waste any more of her youth.
But Fuguang didn't know that Li Fengchao had deliberately arranged for her to see the two of them embracing beneath the eaves that day.
