“She’s so delicate. She can’t live without me.”
On Shen Wanyan’s birthday, her fiancé announced that he wanted to marry her younger sister as well, making her his equal wife. He hoped Shen Wanyan would be magnanimous.
In her previous life, Shen Wanyan felt wronged and cried and protested, but eventually accepted the reality.
As a result, on their wedding night, she was left alone in an empty bridal chamber.
Her husband spent all his time doting on his equal wife, her younger sister.
Shen Wanyan was neglected. The servants in the household looked down on her, and her mother-in-law made things difficult for her.
Hoping to please her husband and earn even a little affection in return, Shen Wanyan managed the household finances with all her might, even spending her own dowry.
In return, when Shen Wanyan was five months pregnant, her younger sister, who was her husband’s equal wife, forced her to drink poison. Shen Wanyan died a gruesome death.
After spending ten years as a ghost, she was reborn. When the scoundrel proposed marrying her sister alongside her, she smiled and agreed.
Since they were so in love, she would break off the engagement.
She would go find Prince Jin, who had waited for her all along in her previous life.
In her previous life, Prince Jin saw that her heart and eyes belonged entirely to someone else. He let her have her way and stayed out of her life.
Prince Jin was aloof and proud, and kept his distance from women. Yet rumors spread that he had an affair with a palace consort, and he was demoted to commoner. Afterward, he got drunk in front of her grave every day.
In this life...
“Why are you telling me you’re breaking off your engagement?”
A moment later:
“Why haven’t you broken it off yet?”
He would have to go lend her a hand.
After they married, he thought she had suffered a terrible heartbreak. “I’ll give her time.”
A year later, enough time had passed, and Shen Wanyan stopped pretending.
From then on, their bed curtains were warmed by the spring breeze every day
