After Four Years as My Childhood Friend’s Secret Mistress, I Ran Off with the Guard

After I had been Pei Mingyan's mistress for four years, his unattainable first love became a widow. When she came to him in tears, Pei Mingyan couldn't wait to bring her into his household. Since he wanted to give his first love a lifetime of devotion to her alone, Pei Mingyan gave me a thousand taels in silver notes and told me to leave. But when I really ran off with a guard, Pei Mingyan abandoned his first love and came looking for me. His eyes red, he said, “Shen Yan, you can only be my wife.”
