As the daughter of a Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Hall, Su Tang despised power and money more than anything. All she wanted was to find a husband who was talented and understood her.
In her previous life, she chose the newly crowned top candidate in the imperial exams, worked hard to manage everything for him, and helped him become Chief Grand Secretary. She thought they would be the only ones for each other for the rest of their lives. But the year he turned forty and became Minister of Revenue, he brought home a young woman. Before long, his household was crowded with women.
As she lay dying, she looked at the rows of kneeling children and grandchildren, both legitimate and illegitimate. She was tired.
When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the time before her marriage. In this life, she did not want to exhaust herself like that.
Men could never be relied upon, anyway. She might as well marry a powerful, rakish playboy and spend her life enjoying food, drink, and fun.
The first time Prince Xin saw Su Tang, he was deeply captivated by her cool, refined air. From then on, he yearned for her in his heart for the rest of his life. But she was like the bright moon in the heavens, too sacred to be defiled.
At last, in this life, he married her. He resolved to mend his ways and become a new man.
On the second day of their marriage, Su Tang was about to ask Prince Xin to take her out for wine and women when she discovered that His Highness, the greatest playboy in the capital, was in his study reading.
Su Tang: ...She must have opened the door the wrong way!
