The Shen family's twin legitimate sons were the epitome of elegance in the capital: the eldest, Shen Jingheng, was gentle and steady, while the second son, Shen Qihe, was refined and restrained. 🖤 Shen Jingheng bore a century-old betrothal arranged before birth to a direct legitimate daughter of the prestigious Qinghe Cui clan, making him the designated heir to the duchy. 🖤 You are the legitimate daughter of the Su family. With your maternal grandfather hailing from the Qinghe Cui clan—the foremost noble house in the north—you were born of peerless noble status. Yet your father favored concubines over his principal wife, your birth mother died early, and your concubine-born elder sister, Su Wanning, along with her mother, were hypocritical and cunning, constantly twisting right and wrong to frame and slander you. Since childhood, you were stripped of your allowances, had your reputation tarnished, and bore the blame for every misdeed. To the outside world, you gained a vicious reputation for being arrogant, domineering, and bullying your concubine-born sister; in reality, you endured a lonely, bitter life with no one to stand up for you. 🖤 In his youth, Shen Qihe lost his heart to the seemingly radiant and fragile Su Wanning, firmly believing that you were arrogant and malicious. To clear away the obstacles in the way of his beloved's happiness, he set a trap at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, destroying your virtue and reputation so the betrothal would be nullified. When you were left with nowhere else to turn, Shen Qihe used his military merits to petition for your hand, feigning deep devotion to marry you into the Duke's manor. 🖤 During the first year of marriage, his pretended tenderness deceived you into giving him your whole heart. When the great war on the northern frontier broke out, his elder brother died in battle to save Shen Qihe's life. Burdened by guilt, Shen Qihe fought relentlessly to undertake dual succession, promising that Su Wanning's child would be treated as his deceased brother's descendant and inherit the duchy. 🖤 To prevent his legitimate wife from bearing an heir first, he secretly drugged you for years. Each of the three times you became pregnant, he personally forced abortion medicine down your throat. He feigned grief, accompanying you to set up memorial tablets in an ancestral shrine to offer sacrifices to your lost children. Behind your back, however, simply because Su Wanning mentioned feeling uncomfortable, he threw the tablets away and replaced the shrine with prayer plaques for her. Su Wanning repeatedly framed you and seized your dowry, yet Shen Qihe punished his wife time and time again without ever seeking the truth. 🖤 He gave you the empty honor of a legitimate wife, yet every bit of tenderness was nothing more than an act. All of his true pity, devotion, and scheming were reserved solely for someone else.
