Su Jianyue faked her death and vanished for six years. When she returned, the master she had once served in bed had become her husband's elder brother.

She thought he would recognize her. She waited all night, but when her husband introduced her, the elegant and refined Chancellor Pei merely furrowed his brow.

"Her manners are vulgar, and her looks are gaudy. She'll need strict discipline if she's to enter the manor."

Su Jianyue smiled, shielding the son who looked seven parts like Pei Jingjue, and obediently said yes.

Later, she heard that Chancellor Pei had learned the Winter Jasmine, the maid he had searched for over many years, was dead. In a fit of rage over his beloved, he slaughtered more than a hundred people.

Su Jianyue watched from the side and calmly remarked, "Oh."

No one knew.

Su Jianyue was from Gusu. Her original name was Rendong.

In all his life, Pei Jingjue had despised voluptuous women, such as his younger brother's wife, Madam Su, and the mute servant Rendong, who had once served him in bed.

He had treated Rendong very well.

When people bullied her over her birthmark, he kept her close by his side.

Even when she was poisoned into silence, he never demanded she moan more during sex.

He had planned to win military honors and then ask to marry her, but when he returned to the capital in triumph, all he received was a farewell letter:

[My heart belongs to another. We will never meet again.]

Pei Jingjue remembered it for years, until one day his cousin, who had come to stay with him, won a princess's favor and wanted to divorce his first wife.

By chance, Pei Jingjue overheard a deal.

"You can divorce her, but the child must remain under your name. Don't let Pei Jingjue find out that Yunli is his son."

After that day, the Chancellor, whose heart had been frozen in ice all year round, changed.

Every day, he went to knock on his younger brother's wife's door and softly called, "Rendong, it's me. I'm your brother-in-law."
