The Marquis Spoils His Wife Without Restraint, but His Concubine Only Wants to Run Away

Yin Sui became a concubine at fourteen, had an affair at fifteen, and was stripped of her status and made a slave at sixteen for plotting against the Grand Princess. After three years in servitude, her life had been one long string of ups and downs.

When her sentence was over, she returned to the Marquis's residence through the snow. Everyone expected the Huai River Marquis's household to be thrown into turmoil again.

But Yin Sui seemed like a different person: obedient, docile, and scrupulous about her place, every bit the lowly bedchamber maid.

The high-and-mighty Marquis of Huai River thought this was just another ploy to win his favor. He had no idea she was simply tired, weary, and done with it all. She only wanted to have her status restored as soon as possible and get far away from these people.

When she finally got her wish, the man went mad. He confined and tormented her, then showered her with affection, all to keep her by his side.

And all she left him was a body that had vanished without a trace.

After her death, the whole capital turned out to mourn her and erect a memorial. Her partial parents wept until their hearts broke, and the elder brother who had wounded her so deeply wore his knees raw from kneeling.

As for him, he smashed her memorial and dug up her grave, refusing to believe she was dead.

Later, she appeared before everyone again, now a favorite of the Regent Empress Dowager of an enemy kingdom.

She lazily fanned herself with a jade fan and smiled brightly. "My lord, you've got it wrong. I'm choosing a male favorite, not a husband."

For the first time, the proud, aloof man lowered his head. "A male favorite is fine. As long as it's you, anything is fine."

Later, she took control of the Phoenix Seal and rose to the very pinnacle of power.

He knelt outside her bedchamber, yet couldn't even get through the door.

"I am busy and have no time for you tonight. Your Majesty, please go back."

"Suisui, let me see you just once. Just once."
