Blessed, Yet Unaware of It

What Tang Chan regrets most in this life is defying her parents and insisting on running away from her wedding.

She naively believed Wei Zhang was the finest lover in the world, trusted his promise that he would marry no one but her, and even threatened her father and brothers with suicide.

But in the end, she never got the marriage proposal she was waiting for. Instead, Wei Zhang personally sent her to prison, making her bear the charge of poisoning the empress for the sake of his beloved.

With her execution approaching, Wei Zhang thoughtfully sent her a three-foot length of white silk so she could avoid the agony of being cut to pieces.

The moment she draped the silk over a roof beam, someone slashed it down. Tang Chan fell to the floor and heard a familiar yet icy voice say, "Wouldn't that be too easy a death for you?"

The newcomer was Yang Yin, the powerful General Who Guards the North and the empress's younger brother. He was also the man Tang Chan had abandoned on their wedding day.

Yang Yin pointed his sword at Tang Chan, just as he had held it before her on their wedding night.

Back then, he wanted her to turn back. Now, he wanted her dead.

One-on-one, one true pairing, happy ending? No, tragic ending. Alternate history. Revenge is the main plot.

1. Revised and expanded an old story to fill in the gaps. It still has plenty of flaws. Thank you for reading!
