[A Clear-Headed Heroine Focused on Building Her Career]
Everyone in Shengjing knows that the Jiang family’s third daughter, Jiang Zhaoxue, was born with an ill-fated destiny.
On the day she was born, her mother suffered a fatal hemorrhage during childbirth. When she turned one month old, her father fell to his death from a horse, and the midwife who delivered her suddenly died.
Her grandmother immediately declared her cursed and had her sent to an old temple beside the charity cemetery outside the city, where she was abandoned for more than ten years.
That year, Prince Jing’s Manor urgently needed a bride to bring good fortune and ward off bad luck.
The Jiang family couldn’t bear to send their legitimate daughter, nor their other concubine-born daughter, so they finally remembered the third daughter they had long since discarded as though she were already dead.
Everyone waited to see Jiang Zhaoxue enter the prince’s manor only to become a widow in all but name.
But the moment she stepped inside, she took one look at the gravely ill man lying on the bed—so sick he seemed on the verge of his last breath—and quietly calculated his fate three times on her fingers.
What short-lived man? This was the destiny of an emperor.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately changed her mind.
She wasn’t calling off this marriage anymore.
