My Childhood Betrothed Is Back

Childhood sweethearts / rekindled romance

Jiang Huaiyue once betrayed Wei Pingzhao.

When his whole family had been slaughtered and he came alone to beg at the gates of the Jiang residence, she didn't even show her face. Naturally, she never knew that beneath the torrential rain that day, the boy's clothes and hair were soaked and he looked utterly wretched, yet the marriage contract in his arms was perfectly dry.

Nor did she know how much hatred had nearly spilled from his eyes when he watched someone tear the contract to shreds.

Wei Pingzhao had every right to hate her. Jiang Huaiyue knew that.

So two years later, when she saw her childhood sweetheart again, her first instinct was to run. Of course, she didn't get away.

The once carefree, spirited boy now had a grim expression, and his deep, affectionate peach-blossom eyes had become inscrutable.

The war in Jizhou ended in a great victory. Wei Pingzhao, its commanding general, had returned to the capital to receive his reward.

He kept Jiang Huaiyue with him as an attendant.

**

A noblewoman in the capital asked Jiang Huaiyue about General Wei's preferences and past. Jiang Huaiyue gave a polite curtsy. "This servant and General Wei are merely from the same hometown. We are not close."

Wei Pingzhao was just as indifferent. He knew she was being framed, yet he turned a blind eye and stood by.

Later, Jiang Huaiyue gradually grew close to another man. He was good in every way, and treated her even better.

But only at the very end, when every truth came to light, did she finally understand: it was all because no one had ever come back.
