A Mistake in Springtime

In a torrential downpour, Jiang Youzhi took in a man who had lost all his memories. She not only saved him when he was on the verge of death, but also raised money from all over to send him to the capital to take the imperial examinations.

Over time, they fell in love and pledged themselves to each other in secret.

Yet on the eve of their wedding, Jiang Youzhi suddenly vanished, leaving behind only a letter.

The letter said that the man's name was Shen Henian, and that he was the eldest legitimate son of the Shen family of the capital. He and Jiang Youzhi had once been betrothed, but the engagement had been broken off after the Jiang family fell into hardship. So Jiang Youzhi had saved him only to get revenge for the broken engagement.

After reading the letter, the man's gaze grew even darker. He had regained his memory half a month earlier, and he knew that he was not the Shen Henian mentioned in the letter.

Not long after returning home from the country estate, Jiang Youzhi went to a palace banquet.

Word had it that the Crown Prince would appear that day, and the atmosphere was already oppressive before the banquet had even begun.

The Crown Prince had a strange temperament. Rumor had it that he was cruel and tyrannical, and had claimed the position by harming his own siblings. His reputation was poor, and he had yet to take a wife.

In truth, this palace banquet had been arranged so he could choose a Crown Princess.

Jiang Youzhi was already engaged, so she was seated in a corner merely to make up the numbers.

When the Crown Prince, the center of everyone's attention, stepped inside, Jiang Youzhi looked up and saw that familiar face. Her hands and feet instantly turned cold, and wine spilled from her cup onto the floor.

After the banquet, the young noblewomen left one after another.

Only she remained, pressed onto the couch by Pei Heng as he drew closer, tears filling her eyes.

Pei Heng stroked the silver chain around her ankle and chuckled. "And you still have the nerve to cry?"
