With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beautiful yet tearful mother, and her young brother, Xiao Jiuyue rolled up her sleeves and started making money. Before she knew it, she had become the richest person in the entire country.
Some remarked: "No matter how rich, she's still just a lowly merchant." Xiao Jiuyue opened granaries to assist disaster victims, cleared her father and brother's names, returned to Shengjing, and rebuilt the Xiao family's glory.
Yet others gossiped: "Doing business so openly, a woman whose engagement was broken, no one would want to marry her. In the end, won't she just become a concubine?"
Jun Lie retorted: "Who's spouting nonsense!" He braved wind and snow to bring her warmth from a thousand miles away; when floods struck, he risked his life to protect her. After finally melting her ice-cold heart, how could he bear to let her be a concubine?
Jun Lie seized the opportunity to propose: "Yue'er, marry me and slap them in the face!" Xiao Jiuyue transformed, becoming a prince's consort!
Everyone mocked her, saying she relied on her looks, and secretly put in countless efforts to become a prince's consort, speculating she might be divorced at any moment.
Divorced? Jun Lie delightedly embraced his beloved: "In this life, divorce is impossible!"
