Broken Branch

Short blurb (pure melodrama)

The Chen family's new young madam was as beautiful as a fairy and gentle by nature.

Someone grew jealous and spread a lie that she was a concubine who had fled from a nobleman's household.

Half a year later, that nobleman appeared, killed her husband, and destroyed her home.

With her husband's blood still running down the sword, she was driven back to the edge of the bed by the very man who had killed him.

"Faking your death, fleeing in secret, marrying another..."

The nobleman, who stood above all others, sneered at her defiance. "A Yao, this is the price you pay for betraying me."

Theme: Never bend the knee.
