Duan Muqing gave a weak, forced smile.

He and Jiang Tian had good times together, but those times are gone forever.

The publicity surrounding Jiang Tian and Yun Jing's wedding was overwhelming.

It's rare for a big star to marry young, so Yun Jing and Jiang Tian discussed it before announcing her name.

Given his influence, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Tian's name was exposed. Moreover, Jiang Tian had also considered commercial factors; she wouldn't pass up free publicity.

Soon, Jiang Tian's identity became widely known, and her business dealings in the United States came to light.

Fans initially thought that Yun Jing's marriage to Jiang Tian was a case of Jiang Tian marrying up, but after seeing Jiang Tian's exceptional business acumen and her business empire, their enthusiasm waned.

Maybe... their idol is a gigolo.

Sometimes fans don't hate it when their idols are in relationships, but rather they hate that the people they date are not good enough for them.

Clearly, Jiang Tian is not someone that just anyone can get; Yun Jing has really hit the jackpot.

Their wedding went very smoothly. At Jiang Tian's request, it wasn't a grand affair; the focus was on a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Duan Muqing and Zhou Yuncheng were both present.

Cheng Xiuyuan was also there.

No one knew that Cheng Xiuyuan had also been thinking about Jiang Tian for two years.

In the two years that followed, everyone else changed, and Cheng Xiuyuan changed too.

He secretly fell in love with someone named Jiang Tian.

He knew a lot about that person, and he knew best that the person hated him.

Shen Qingshu couldn't make it in the capital, and her family gradually grew impatient with her. Before she left, she tried to pester him, but he strongly rejected her.

She called him a heartless man, saying he could like someone and then dislike them just like that.

Cheng Xiuyuan took the blame.

Even he couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with Jiang Tian.

That woman had never given him a kind look.

He didn't even have many opportunities to communicate with her.

He always seems to be an observer; liking something is always a matter for him alone.

Of all their stories, Cheng Xiuyuan was the only one who never had a name.

Jiang Tian and Yun Jing are very happy after their marriage.

Having weathered the rain, Yun Jing understands even better how to manage a marriage to ensure its longevity.

The two had almost no conflicts after marriage.

For Yun Jing, having a wife is better than anything else.

Duan Muqing and Zhou Yuncheng never married.

Their relationship with Jiang Tian did not become tense.

Many people even advised them to settle down and start a family as soon as possible.

However, both of them were deeply opposed to finding a wife.

They're adults now, and the naive days of thinking love conquers all are long gone, but they've lost interest in it.

If you've met the best before but missed them, finding someone else won't make things better for them.

Watching Jiang Tian rise step by step is more meaningful than establishing a conventional marriage.

Jiang Tian gave birth to a daughter who inherited her business empire.

She eventually died peacefully in her sleep.

[The Next World: The Abandoned Woman Who Remains Alone by the Lamp]

Jiang Tian's role in this time-traveling story is that of an abandoned woman.

She was originally the daughter of an imperial censor, of noble birth and with excellent upbringing. When she came of age, she married Xu Jingxiu, a general of the current dynasty.

Originally, this was a good match, but in this world, Jiang Tian was nothing more than a supporting character.

The true protagonist is Emperor Yan Heng of this dynasty.
