The Lovely Oriole's Farewell

*Down-on-her-luck noblewoman x arrogant heir

Blurb:

Lu Wenying and Wei Zhan had been married for years and were famous in the capital as a couple who couldn't stand each other.

Their marriage had begun under a cloud of scandal: she became pregnant before they wed, and Lu Wenying entered the Duke of Guo's residence already showing.

Wei Zhan, heir to the Duke of Ning, came from a powerful family. He was stunningly handsome and a young general with a string of impressive victories, with countless admirers.

He and Princess Yong'an had been childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven, until Lu Wenying barged in between them.

From their engagement to their wedding, Wei Zhan never showed his face. On their wedding night, he coldly turned and walked away, and then stayed away from home for three whole months, making Lu Wenying a laughingstock throughout the capital.

Even when their child was nearly old enough to marry, people still mocked Lu Wenying for climbing into a powerful family and having no shame.

Lu Wenying didn't take offense. She only smiled and said that everyone loved wealth and despised poverty, and she was no exception. If she could live her life over, she would use those same schemes on someone who loved her.

Everyone said it was a pretty speech, but no one believed she was innocent.

Yet one day, when Lu Wenying woke up, she really had returned to the flower-viewing banquet from years ago.

Looking at the handsome young man sleeping beside her, she got up without the slightest hesitation, endured the soreness as she dressed, and left in a hurry before anything could happen.

Ever since catching a cold two years ago, Wei Zhan had felt he had developed a kind of extrasensory perception, as if he could foresee the future. It had helped him avoid a number of disasters.

But at one banquet, he let his guard down and was ambushed. Through a series of unfortunate coincidences, he slept with a young woman.

Wei Zhan was furious. He had always been proud and arrogant, and vowed that the woman who had shamelessly climbed into his bed would pay.

But when he woke, all he saw was an empty bed. The room was cold and deserted, leaving him with an inexplicable sense of unease.
