Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood.
With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife.
Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary.
The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital.
Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man.
Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone.
He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her.
Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her.
So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years.
She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered.
Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart.
...
After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan.
Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself.
At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's.
"Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future."
The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red:
"Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!"
