When Yuan Jia came of age, a Daoist fortune-teller predicted that she was destined for three husbands before her life came to an end.
At the time, Yuan Jia was the treasured eldest princess of Beilan. She dismissed the prediction, pulled over her childhood sweetheart Wen Lingzhou, and gave him a newly picked love fruit.
“Brother Lingzhou, let’s stay together for our whole lives.”
Who could have guessed that later she would truly don bridal red and a phoenix crown three times, entering the bridal chamber each time.
The third time, she was a princess of a fallen kingdom.
Her groom was the crown prince of an enemy nation.
“Yuan’er, you said we’d stay together for our whole lives. Did you mean it?” Crown Prince Song Shiyan asked her.
The red candles flickered, and Yuan Jia’s dark eyes shimmered.
“Of course.”
Suddenly, someone crashed through the palace doors.
He arrived with stars on his shoulders and a murderous aura, a long sword ringing in his hand, blazing fire in his eyes.
“Yuan Jia, you once promised we’d stay together for our whole lives. I’m still alive, so who do you intend to spend your life with now?”
It was Huo Xiao, her second husband, with whom she had shared only a brief marriage, the so-called “God of War”!
Wasn’t he supposed to have died on the battlefield?! No, hadn’t he always resented her for making the first move?
Yuan Jia was about to speak.
Beneath the moon by the doorway, a white-robed immortal was leaning there. No one knew when he had arrived.
Dressed all in white, his black hair simply tied back, he coughed twice and gazed at her with gentle eyes.
“Yaoyao, I still have the love fruit you gave me. Are you still willing to honor our promise to spend our lives together?”
