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

Xie Chunchao was the most doted-on princess of commandery in the Chu Kingdom. She and her fiancé, Ning Heng, had grown up together and were deeply in love.

She remained alone in Shangling, waiting for Ning Heng to return victorious so they could marry.

But on the day Ning Heng returned from the front, he brought back a lovely, delicate woman from the border.

It hit her like a thunderbolt. A flood of memories that should never have been hers suddenly rushed into her mind, and she fainted on the spot.

In her dream, Ning Heng, who had always loved and protected her, would treat her coldly and hurl cruel words at her for the sake of another woman.

And she would lose her mind, clinging to him and refusing to let go.

In the end, her reputation would be ruined, her family destroyed, and the dignified princess of commandery would be left with nothing but a straw mat for her burial.

At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Ning Heng said exactly what she remembered him saying:

“Niaoniao is alone and helpless, pure and kind. Why can’t you accept her?”

“Who else could possibly marry you but me?”

To sever all ties with him for good, Xie Chunchao casually pointed to 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 as exquisite as a painting, and his beauty was unmatched.

Unfortunately, he was sickly and timid, and seemed unlikely to achieve anything.

An imperial decree arranged their marriage, and she wed Lin Jingrong, who was destined to die young.

After their wedding, she counted the days, wondering when she would finally enjoy a happy life with money and power but no husband.

Instead, she stumbled upon her frail, timid husband, who was too afraid to even kill a chicken, calmly cutting off a man’s head with a sword. Corpses lay all around him. Blood stained his fair face as he smiled faintly at her.

Xie Chunchao’s vision went black. Had she picked the wrong man again this time?

She wanted a divorce! A divorce!
