Pampered Little Sparrow

Shen Qingrou had been with Wei Cheng for years. She brought up marriage several times, but Wei Cheng refused to discuss it, unwilling even to give her a title. Everyone knew that a girl of humble birth could never be a match for Wei Cheng, whose family had held official posts for generations. Wei Cheng knew it too: when he married, it would have to be a noblewoman from a prominent family. Shen Qingrou was not an option. Shen Qingrou turned and left, then married another man in a phoenix crown and red wedding robes. On their wedding night, Wei Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and demanded that Shen Qingrou leave with him.

“I'll marry you. Don't marry someone else.”

“Too late.”
