Seeking a Better Match: The Marquis's Beloved Daughter Turns Around and Marries the Villain

Xie Chunchao was the most beloved princess in the Chu Kingdom. She and her fiancé, Ning Heng, had grown up together and shared a deep affection. She waited alone at Shangling for Ning Heng to return victorious, so they could marry. But when Ning Heng returned from the frontier, he brought back a delicate and charming young woman. It hit her like a thunderbolt. A flood of memories that shouldn't have been hers suddenly filled her mind, and she fainted on the spot. In her dream, Ning Heng, who had loved and protected her, would grow cold and cruel, hurling vicious words at her for another woman. And she would become irrational, clinging to him relentlessly and refusing to give up. In the end, her reputation would be ruined, her family destroyed, and the grand princess would be left to die wrapped in a straw mat. At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Ning Heng said exactly what she remembered from her dream: "Niaoniao is helpless and alone, pure and kind. Why can't you make room for her?" "Who else could marry you besides me?" To break things off with him for good, Xie Chunchao casually pointed at the most handsome man in the crowd. "He can marry me." Lin Jingrong was a concubine-born son of Censor Lin, newly arrived in Shangling. His features were like a painting, and his beauty was unmatched. Unfortunately, he was sickly and timid, and seemed destined for nothing great. An imperial decree arranged their marriage, and she married Lin Jingrong, who was fated to die young. After the wedding, she counted the days, wondering when she could finally enjoy a happy life with money and power, but no husband. Then she unexpectedly saw her frail, timid husband, who was supposedly afraid to kill a chicken, neatly chop off someone's head with a sword. Corpses littered the ground beneath him. His fair face was splattered with blood as he gave her a faint smile. Xie Chunchao's vision went black. Had she picked the wrong man again? She wanted a divorce! A divorce!
