Xia Meng Yan entered her marriage to Marquis Ping An with unguarded joy, convinced that if she waited patiently enough, he would one day recognize her worth.
It was only when she followed him to Northern Fortress Pass while heavily pregnant that the illusion shattered. Under the cold moonlight, the aloof and distant Marquis Ping An would speak at length about military strategy with Huo Ying Zi. When Huo Ying Zi was in low spirits, he personally sought out her favorite snacks to comfort her. And when Huo Ying Zi threw a tantrum, he abandoned Xia Meng Yan on the eve of her labor, leaving her to face childbirth alone.
Reborn after her death, Xia Meng Yan’s love for him has completely withered. This time, she wants nothing to do with Marquis Ping An. Her only wish is to protect the child in her womb and sever the marriage once and for all.
Yet the once proud Marquis Ping An comes to his senses too late. He kneels at the gate of Xia Manor and begs: “Yan’er, I was wrong. Please look at me.”
[Look at you? Ridiculous. The farther away you are, the better.]
