Xie Manzhen went from a pampered, spoiled princess to the virtuous and proper matriarch of the Pei family.
She thought that while she and Pei Shuhuai might not be a loving couple in perfect harmony, they at least treated each other with respect.
But in their third year of marriage, bandits attacked them on the way to the Pei family estate. In the moment of danger, her husband shoved her aside to protect the woman he truly loved.
As an assassin's arrow pierced her heart and blood soaked through her clothes, she suddenly felt that her life had been a joke.
When she woke again, she was back on the day she was to choose her prince consort.
This time, she didn't want to marry Pei Shuhuai. She didn't want to wear a mask and go through life pretending. She didn't want anyone to drag out her sincere feelings and trample them underfoot again.
When her father asked who she favored as her prince consort, she slowly raised a finger and pointed at the man across from Pei Shuhuai: Cen Wang.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, she smiled softly. "Father, I choose him."
*
Cen Wang went to the border at sixteen. At eighteen, he claimed an enemy general's head and became the youngest general in the history of the dynasty.
He had only ever wanted to expand the empire's borders. He never imagined that the Fifth Princess, who'd bickered and fought with him as a child and challenged him at every turn as an adult, would choose him as her prince consort.
On their wedding night, he tried to talk things over with her, but she pulled him down onto the bed.
The candlelight flickered. She gripped his lapel, every bit as domineering and audacious as she'd been as a child. "Cen Wang, do you know what a prince consort is supposed to do?"
Cen Wang fell silent.
Whether he knew or not, he'd find out by doing it.

The author should be careful. Being exposed is not a trivial matter.
"At first Shuangyun will still be able to do it" is a big bug for the author~ It should be Shuanglan 😍
