The System said: Villains are all very dangerous, so no one wants to bind with it. Thus, the major task-taker, Wan Ge, bound with it because it looked good.
Then she saw a handsome and timid ...
She was extremely panicked when she woke up, but she had also experienced a lot in her own world, and she quickly calmed down after realizing that something was wrong.
She transmigrated right after the original owner fell into the water, so she could use that as an excuse to say she didn't remember anything, and then slowly learn about the original owner's story.
However, she might not recognize the people the original owner had met before.
She only learned about some things because a maidservant reminded her.
In that era, it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, so when she got close to Xuan Yu, the maid did not remind her that Xuan Yu had a fiancée.
It wouldn't be unreasonable for Jiang Jintang to be Xuan Yu's concubine or equal wife, given that imperial power is supreme and Jiang Jintang is, after all, just the daughter of a civil official.
Jiang Jintang only discovered that Xuan Yu had a fiancée after she gradually got to know him and learned about his various circumstances.
When Jiang Jintang first asked him if he had someone he liked, he said no without hesitation, so she didn't think about it. But when she found out that he actually had a fiancée, she was furious and went straight to his house.
But just before meeting the other person, he regained his senses for a moment, so his tone wasn't arrogant, but he did manage to find out what was going on.
Xuan Yu immediately remembered what the other party had said: she would never want a man who was fickle.
Xuan Yu could not tell him the truth, so he could only helplessly say that he and Wan Ge were childhood sweethearts, but he had no feelings for Wan Ge and only liked Jiang Jintang.
Wan Ge was chosen by their father when they were young. He had no romantic feelings for Wan Ge, only brotherly and sisterly affection for her.
Xuan Yu also said that even if the emperor bestowed the marriage upon him, he would still break off the engagement because he had met the woman he loved most.
Jiang Jintang had very mixed feelings at that time, because breaking off the engagement meant disobeying the imperial edict. Even if he was a prince and wouldn't die, he would definitely be severely punished.
Just recently, she heard about their annulment of the engagement. Xuan Yu really did annul the engagement for him, so she went to see Xuan Yu again.
Xuan Yu naturally expressed his love for her again, and looking into his affectionate eyes, Jiang Jintang had no doubts whatsoever.
…
“Miss Jiang, there’s no need to apologize. For someone as ungrateful as the Third Prince, I should thank you for helping me escape this misery.”
"How can you say that about him? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?" When Jiang Jintang heard Wan Ge say that the other party was an ungrateful person, she stood up and slammed one hand on the table.
Wan Ge calmly took a sip of tea and smiled sarcastically: "Miss Jiang likes him so much, could it be that he told you that he only likes you and only wants to marry you?"
"What do you want to say?" Jiang Jintang certainly didn't believe what Wan Ge was saying, but she was also curious to know what the other party could come up with.
"Before my father had his accident, he told me the same thing, that we childhood sweethearts have always been in love, and that he would only ever love me, both in the past and in the future. He also said he was looking forward to us fulfilling our marriage vows." As Wan Ge spoke, she also mentioned the letters Xuan Yu had given her during her mourning period.
From his initial concern for her mother's passing to his later sweet words expressing his anticipation of marriage, the handwriting was Xuan Yu's. The letter wasn't stamped with his personal seal, but Jiang Jintang was very familiar with that distinctive peach blossom seal.
