[Mastery of Medicine and Poison + Face-Slapping Feel-Good Revenge + Scumbag Pursues Her to the Crematorium + Male Lead Competes and Fights to Claim Her]
On the eve of her wedding, Song Yuntang picks the lock on Pei Zhao's study and finds a bellyband that isn't hers.
Only then does she learn that the goddess in Pei Zhao's paintings, whose face is left blank, was never her. It was his widowed sister-in-law, Shen Shuning.
She watches the self-disciplined, proper gentleman do one outrageous thing after another to protect his widowed sister-in-law and her daughter.
Song Yuntang smashes this half-baked marriage to pieces!
Three years ago, desperate to escape her predicament, she saw marrying Pei Zhao as her best option.
To become a Pei family wife, she spent three years hiding her talents and polishing herself into the perfect mistress of a great household.
Yet in the end, she still became a laughingstock.
Now that she has decisively broken off the engagement, everyone says Song Yuntang has played her last good card terribly.
Even Pei Zhao declares, “Who else would marry you if not me? A tantrum should have its limits.”
Song Yuntang gives him a cold smile.
She no longer wants to hear about propriety in the inner household. She only wants to climb higher, one step at a time.
When the heads of great families grovel at her feet and imperial relatives bring fortunes to beg for her help, the world finally understands that Song Yuntang has never needed anyone to rely on!
And when Pei Zhao, eyes red, kneels and begs Song Yuntang to look back at him, the peerlessly noble man at her side has already pulled her possessively into his embrace.
“She is the woman I cherish above all else. No ordinary person deserves even a glance from her!”
