[Wife-Chasing Crematorium, Second Male Lead Wins] On the day Fu Ci took a wife, Jiang Wan suffered through a difficult labor.
As her life ebbed away, she looked back on her short existence and found it nothing short of a cruel joke.
Her father had been a treacherous official whose downfall resulted in the execution of his entire clan.
Fu Ci, a man of brilliant talent and the youngest Prime Minister, had once cast aside his pride to kneel outside the Imperial Study for three days and nights just to secure her safety.
The Fu family had been a prominent noble clan for generations, and the daughter of a criminal could never become the mistress of such a household.
Thus, Jiang Wan, who was once Fu Ci’s fiancée, was brought into the Fu Manor in a small sedan chair to serve as a mere concubine.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Their vows of eternal love felt as fresh as yesterday, yet Fu Ci was now marrying another.
As her life reached its end, Jiang Wan was filled with regret.
If she could do it all over again, she wanted to live for herself.
A rumor later circulated through the capital that Master Fu’s hair had turned white in a single night on the day of his wedding.
After that, Master Fu resigned from his position.
And eventually, Master Fu vanished from the capital altogether.
