A Perfect Match (Reborn)

[A Perfect Match]

In her previous life, thanks to a betrothal arranged years earlier between the Shen and Song families, Song Yuruo married up into Prince Duan's household and became the heir's wife, envied by everyone.

After the wedding, knowing she had married above her station, she dared not make a single misstep. She paid her respects morning and evening, managed the household, and strictly followed the rules expected of the principal wife.

She spent her whole life walking on eggshells, only to end up with her husband bringing home the woman he loved while she was gravely ill from sorrow and worry.

On a night lit by red candles, as dusk faded, Song Yuruo stood in the biting wind and heard her husband say to the woman he loved, "You are the one who is truly right for me."

And she, for all her life, had never found a place in his heart.

Living a second life, Song Yuruo finally understood: unrequited devotion and foolish wishful thinking were not a beautiful dream, but a joke.

She... would not live as a joke again...

Shen You, heir of Prince Rui, was handsome and striking, peerlessly noble. He was the heavenly immortal in the hearts of the capital's elite young ladies. The sole stain on his reputation, they said, was that he had married a daughter of the lowly Song family.

People pitied him, and even his mother secretly sent women to his room every few days.

One night, after dealing with the woman his mother had sent, he returned to his room and saw his wife before him. She was holding back tears, yet still doing everything she could to please him. He thought: She is pretty, gentle, knows her place, and doesn't cling to me.

Though her family background is poor, I could still spend the rest of my life with her...

But one day, his usually obedient and meek wife placed a divorce agreement before him. Calmly, she said in a chilly voice, "I am not the right match for you, my lord. Please grant me my freedom."

Shen You's hand, holding the wolf-hair brush, froze. For the first time in his life, the usually serene and otherworldly heir of Prince Rui lost his composure...
