[They don't get back together after a breakup; the male lead changes; a minister takes the ruler's wife]
Song Qingyan was the illegitimate daughter of the chief minister. She was sent to the countryside as a child, where she relied on her concubine mother. After she came of age, an imperial edict summoning her back to the capital ordered her to become Shen Ye's princess consort.
Everyone in the capital knew that Prince Xuan, Shen Ye, already had someone he loved. Song Qingyan alone didn't care.
Though their marriage had been arranged by imperial decree, she fell in love with Shen Ye at first sight.
She pursued Shen Ye so openly that everyone in the capital knew about it. She gave him handkerchiefs and sachets, waited on the road from court to escort him back to the prince's residence, and even treated his secondary consort kindly out of affection for him.
She believed she could melt that block of ice.
Until her concubine mother passed away, and not a single person in the prince's residence was willing to take her to see her one last time. If not for her sworn elder brother, Li Changji, she wouldn't even have known where her mother's grave was.
Song Qingyan fell gravely ill. After recovering, she never appeared before Shen Ye again.
Since you hate me so much, from now on, we'll go our separate ways.
*
Shen Ye thought he didn't like Song Qingyan.
She was the daughter of his political enemy and a spy in the palace. Why should he treat her well?
Only after she left behind a divorce agreement and he searched everywhere for her without success did Shen Ye realize how much he cared about her.
He never expected that when they met again after so long, it would be on the day of their wedding. Dressed in red and smiling sweetly, she was about to marry Li Changji.
His chest filled with jealousy and resentment. Shen Ye ordered Li Changji's execution.
As Li Changji lay at death's door, Song Qingyan drew a knife and pressed it to her own neck.
"If you take his life, I'll die with him right now."

A similar story in my collection, "The Fourth Year of Marriage," is looking for followers.
Jiang Zhongxi was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, with a lovely face and delicate features. During the selection, the emperor pointed at her and chose her to be Prince Jing's consort.
On their wedding night, Prince Jing lifted her veil, his voice utterly devoid of warmth.
"Since you covet the position of princess consort, don't go dreaming of love."
Those few words sent Jiang Zhongxi's heart plunging to rock bottom.
After the wedding, she dutifully played the role of Prince Jing's consort, and the two became a couple who looked harmonious but were estranged at heart.
As time passed, she realized Prince Jing was hiding someone in his heart, but she had no idea who it was.
When she exposed his feelings, Prince Jing flew into a rage out of embarrassment.
Just then, unrest broke out along the border. He volunteered to lead troops to war, not to earn glory, but to escape her.
Jiang Zhongxi looked at the empty prince's residence, then turned and entered the palace to request an edict from the emperor.
You don't love me, so I'll set you free.
Prince Jing had been dreaming often lately. The woman in his dreams was no longer the young girl he had fallen for at first sight, but his princess consort, Jiang Zhongxi.
For every day he spent at the border, he dreamed of his princess consort.
When the prince's army returned victorious, only the servants of his residence came to welcome him. Only then did Prince Jing learn that his princess consort had long since submitted a petition to the emperor and entered a Daoist temple outside the capital to cultivate, claiming she sought peace at the border and prosperity for the realm.
Rain fell without pause for days at Yuzhen Temple outside the capital.
Jiang Zhongxi opened her door, and a tall figure came into view. Prince Jing was stubborn, standing in the rain for a day and a night without leaving.
She turned to close the door, when Prince Jing spoke plaintively behind her.
"After being husband and wife, do you truly not want me anymore, my lady?"
Reader's guide
- The person Prince Jing secretly loves is the female lead when she was younger.
- At first, the leads don't love each other. Their feelings grow over time, slowly and gently.

Theme: Cherish the person before you
It is impossible for the heroine to pursue his wife in the crematorium. She is very soft-hearted and has a standard sadistic heroine character. She is silly and sweet, with a holy mother's heart. She will always retaliate with kindness and can't do anything cruel. If others treat her better, she would like to return ten points. She has no power backing and no scheming. How can she deal with the black-hearted male protagonist? She can only be passive forever.
This article took the expressway for the first time and was locked 😭
What a good boy, he actually resorted to the bitter trick 🤩
Why do I still see the joy of an 18-year-old girl even when she is full of complaints?
So the scumbag still doesn't know that the child the heroine gave birth to for the first time is his, will he know later?
Meng Caiyao is so nice 😭
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the male protagonist is so disgusting 💔 Meng Caiyao is so pitiful oooh
🤷 I really like Meng's female counterpart, haha. I hope those newcomers who don't have it will stop acting like monsters.
