When Ling Yue was young, she fell for an actor, and everyone in the city knew it.
Ignoring the difference in their status, she spent lavishly on him, washed her hands and cooked soup for him, and chased after him with all her heart for five whole years.
But the actor was cold-hearted. No matter how hard she pursued him, he remained distant and indifferent, never wavering in the slightest over those five years.
Eventually, Ling Yue gave up and married someone else, while the actor disappeared without a trace.
Ling Yue saw him again seven years later.
The actor of old had transformed into a powerful Regent, while Ling Yue had become a disgraced prisoner.
By then, Ling Yue was heavily pregnant. Her husband had been framed for colluding with the enemy and was soon to be beheaded in public.
In the damp, gloomy dungeon, the Regent gently stroked Ling Yue's face and asked hoarsely, "Marry me, and I'll release him. What do you say?"
Ling Yue agreed, but on her wedding night she received news of her husband's death.
She did not hesitate again. She plunged a dagger into his heart.
He destroyed her home and killed the husband who had pulled her out of an endless abyss, yet still dared to hope she would love him as she once had.
