Everyone in Yanjing knew that Consort Liang loved Princess Li Ji of Jinyang, and had overcome every obstacle to marry the brightest jewel of Great Qi.
Even Li Ji had always believed it.
Until Ruan Wan, newly widowed, returned to the capital,
Li Ji finally learned
what it looked like when he truly loved someone.
Ruan Wan was the love he could never have, the one he could never forget.
And Li Ji was merely his second choice, a tool to bring honor to his family.
After their divorce, Liang Bingwen was consumed with regret. He chased after her carriage, desperately trying to win Li Ji back.
Inside, Li Ji's cheeks were flushed and her clothes were disheveled.
Sheng Huai'an, still savoring the moment, stroked her vivid, tempting lips and coaxed, "Princess, shall I draw back the curtain?"
Li Ji gasped, "You two have been friends for years."
Sheng Huai'an replied, "For you, I would gladly become his enemy."
