Everyone said that Xiao Ji, heir to the Marquis of Xuanping, and Jiang Zhimiao, the General's Mansion's legitimate daughter, were a perfect match. Zhimiao thought so too, right up until their wedding.
On their wedding night, she waited happily for Xiao Ji to come to their bridal chamber. Instead, a trembling maid came to report that the heir had gone to another residence.
It turned out that the husband she thought devoted himself to her had been keeping another woman there. When the woman fell into a lake, Xiao Ji hurried to her side. He then disappeared for days, turning Zhimiao into a laughingstock throughout the capital.
When Xiao Ji finally returned to the manor, Zhimiao not only got no explanation, but also heard that the woman was going to be brought into the household as his co-wife.
Later, Zhimiao had a dream. In it, Xiao Ji left her behind in a blazing fire, carrying the woman away without looking back.
Shocked, she held back her tears. The normally refined and reasonable Zhimiao slapped Xiao Ji, then wrote up a divorce agreement the next day.
In Xiao Ji's eyes, Jiang Zhimiao had always been considerate, the finest girl in the world. She was only a helpless orphan, after all. Surely she would accept it. It wasn't until the divorce agreement was put in front of him that Xiao Ji truly panicked.
A little scene: On Zhimiao's birthday, Xiao Ji made preparations early, hoping to win her forgiveness. Instead, beneath a sky full of fireworks, he saw Zhimiao locked in an embrace with the Crown Prince. Xiao Ji's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
