General Abandon Wife

This narrative pertains to Prime Minister Li Wei's son, who was tragically betrayed by love and met a miserable end at the General's mansion. Chen Zhengyang, esteemed as the greatest general of the Tian Ming country, was betrothed to Li Weiming, the youngest son of Prime Minister Li Wei. Li Weiming, enamored with the General, persuaded his father to propose a marriage alliance between the Li and Chen families. Utilizing his influence as Prime Minister, he requested an imperial decree, which the Emperor granted, thus sanctioning the union.

Despite the imperial decree, the General was discontented with the marriage but felt compelled to comply. Shortly after their union, the General took another wife of equal status, relegating his first wife to the Eastern Palace, notoriously known as the "abandoned quarter." Li Weiming, feeling aggrieved, endeavored to win the General's affection but was ultimately framed for poisoning Jingyi, a person described as quiet and virtuous. Consequently, he was forced to consume the same poison and was sent back to his quarters to die, which he eventually did.

In his final moments, Li Weiming harbored a singular wish: that if granted a second chance, he would live life to the fullest and refrain from actions that might endanger his family.
