Xue Ning’s entire family died in battle. Growing up in the Xuanyi Marquis Mansion, she deeply admired Su Zhan, the marquis’s heir and her childhood sweetheart.
With a cup of drugged Spring Wine, she got her wish and became his wife.
Later, Su Zhan became the Grand Secretary of the Inner Cabinet, wielding immense power.
The two were as respectful to each other as strangers, once considered a rare and beautiful love story in Dongjing City.
Everyone said it was the greatest honor for an orphan like her to marry up to the Grand Secretary.
Only she knew how she endured those countless nights, as lonely as still water.
He had a “white moonlight” in his heart—someone he loved but could not have—and had never loved her.
He even held her in contempt for the way she had offered herself to him.
And so, she was abandoned by him at the old family estate in the countryside for five years.
She sent letter after letter to their home in the capital, but never received a reply.
Forlorn and helpless, she was killed in a fire, dying with a heart full of resentment.
…
After her rebirth, the first thing Xue Ning did was knock over the cup of Spring Wine meant for Su Zhan.
Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself.
At a family banquet, with all their relatives gathered, Xue Ning took her fiancé’s arm and walked up to Su Zhan. “Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please remember to promote him.”
The Grand Secretary, who had always been cold and self-possessed, was suddenly consumed by regret. With reddened eyes, he cried, “Xue Ning, it was me… I met you first!”
