Drowned for Wrongful Death, the Eldest Daughter Reborn Marries the Emperor
Shen Yuan was abandoned in the wilderness at birth and suffered greatly for eighteen years. The only light in her life was a weak scholar. He taught her to read and write, and she gathered herbs to sell to fund his pursuit of fame.
She thought they would stay together like this for life.
