The Meaning of Youth

[Traditional Historical Romance] [Household Intrigue] [Face-Slapping] [Woman Disguised as a Man] [The Crown Prince Pursues His Wife]

Su Yi was the eldest legitimate daughter of a once-great clan, but after her mother died, she was abandoned in the old residence for years. At thirteen, she was brought back to the Su residence, only to be treated by her stepmother as a tool for maintaining the family's outward prestige and married off as the principal wife to the heir of the newly risen Marquis of Dingbei's household.

Who would have thought that on their wedding day, the playboy heir would dismiss her with a single sentence: "You are nothing more than a decorative figure Mother married for me."

For ten years, she had carefully and diligently managed the marquis's household, only to be poisoned to death in the end. Before she died, she wanted to see her husband one last time, but there was not even a servant willing to carry a message for her.

At the very last moment of her life, the little girl she had once saved at the cost of her own life came to her bedside. Those small, delicate hands closed around Su Yi's throat.

The girl said, "You stole everything from Mother and me. You should have given it back long ago!"

She died, consumed by boundless hatred. Ten years of effort, all spent making a wedding dress for someone else.

Reborn into a new life, she carried the resentment and bitterness of her previous one. She would watch the marquis's household fall into ruin and scatter!

He wanted to keep a mistress, so she would help him bring her into the household.

He wanted to take a concubine, so she would help arrange it.

He gazed at her tenderly. "You are so considerate and gentle with me."

She replied coolly, her eyes calm. "Your happiness matters most."

After faking his death and slipping away, Crown Prince Xiao Baichuan suddenly turned his gaze toward Su Yi, his strategist disguised as a man. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes burned with intensity.

He said, "Your art of disguise is superb, Master. It is truly indistinguishable from the real thing."
