Crushed Sugar

During the years Meng Yuan and Shen Que were together, the rich young ladies in their social circle had more than once envied and resented her.

Shen Que was a top-tier young heir in Beicheng's elite circles. He had everything: power, money, status, and good looks.

And Meng Yuan? She was merely the unloved daughter of a deposed empress, with nothing but a devastatingly beautiful, bewitching face.

Yet Shen Que doted on her as if she were more precious than his own eyes.

Everyone said he spoiled her more than a princess.

Sadly, love is probably the most unreliable thing in the world.

They were openly affectionate when they were together, and their breakup was just as dramatic.

They say Shen Que got fed up with Meng Yuan's princess-like temper and kept a mistress on the side.

They say Meng Yuan got revenge by giving Shen Que a lavish set of horns.

They say Shen Que didn't give Meng Yuan a penny when they divorced.

They say Meng Yuan, unable to get any money, cruelly aborted Shen Que's child.

...Meng Yuan never heard any of it.

When Shen Que forced her to leave the country alone, and she couldn't bring herself to call an ambulance, she collapsed with a high fever on a foreign street. Meng Yuan clenched her fist and swore:

If she ever found another man, she would make sure he wasn't devoted only to her.

After all,

when love reaches its end, everything comes down to conscience.
