The crown prince is deposed, and the Grand Academician's household is in turmoil. To protect her family, Su Yin has no choice but to throw in her lot with Prince Xu.
Prince Xu gives Su Yin a packet of poison and sends her to the deposed crown prince.
With her childhood sweetheart and fiance on one side, and the lives and futures of more than a hundred members of her household, herself included, on the other, Su Yin chooses the latter without hesitation.
As the deposed crown prince welcomes her with joy, she uses the poison to take his life.
Several months after his death, Su Yin receives an excellent marriage proposal, one that promises her wealth, status, and a lifetime of safety and peace.
She has always been selfish and self-serving, not a purely good person. Though she knows she wronged her former fiance, she marries anyway.
Her husband is a year younger than her, a bold, dazzling young general who rides out in fine clothes. Whenever he looks at her, his eyes burn with an undisguised love.
After three sweet, loving years of marriage, she gradually forgets the gentle, graceful boy who was once her childhood sweetheart, selfishly treating the past as nothing more than a nightmare.
Until the day the deposed crown prince returns from the dead and ascends the throne.
*
Su Yin knows the new emperor hates her. With nowhere left to run, she simply closes her eyes and waits to die, asking only that her family and husband be spared.
In the imperial bedchamber, Su Yin is bound to a chair with her hands behind her back. A black cloth covers her eyes, but she can still feel the new emperor's icy gaze upon her.
The emperor walks slowly toward her and swings his sword. Its sharp tip presses precisely against her heart through her fine silk clothes.
Wave after wave of terror surges through her. Su Yin's slender shoulders tremble, and tears stream down her cheeks.
"Don't cry," the emperor says hoarsely, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye. "You'll have reason to cry soon enough, my lady."
Theme: Leave room for others today, and you may meet them again tomorrow.
Sigh... I really feel sorry for the second male lead. There is no happy ending and no extra story [crying]
The heroine felt aggrieved from the beginning to the end. She gave up this man because of this, gave up another man because of another thing, and when she really liked the hero, she continued to feel aggrieved because he remembered his past life. Also, the death of the second boy was really unexpected. The heroine's eldest daughter felt closer to the hero, and the second daughter who felt closer to the heroine would never be born again. I thought that apart from being raped and snatched away from the heroine, everything else was more at her own will. As a result,,,
Wuwuwu, my poor second male lead, the little general, died without any follow-up [crying] [crying] [crying]
What? ? ? ? What about the scene of torturing the emperor? I want to see it. I want to be satisfied.
Isn't it such a pity that Xie Ji died in the finale? Song Zhi, who was killed, did not die, so good intentions are difficult to overcome.
Xie Ji and Siyin are both doing well, and Siyin is the cutest. She is like a little dumpling who must be her mother [crying] But she will never see her mother again. And Xie Ji, such a hot young man, died like this without even an if line [poor] [poor]
Alas, for the first time in so many years, I felt sorry for the male protagonist. The author simply made the male protagonist a perfect victim. I used to like the female protagonist. No matter what, I always blamed the male protagonist first. This book is really... I can't find anything wrong with him, and I can't bear to blame him. It's so pitiful...
I skipped through it and finished reading it. I really like the male protagonist's childhood sweetheart.
Teacher, I beg you, please update the new book quickly. My days without you feel like years [crying]
Can there be a side story for the second male lead? This is too sloppy.
