Hate Jin Ci

During a late spring banquet, Su Wan Ting, the legitimate daughter of the Su family, clutched the peace talisman she had personally embroidered, watching her beloved Xiao Ci and her cousin chatting and laughing. This admiration, from the very beginning, was misplaced.

The common scholar Xiao Ci suffered a family misfortune. Su Wan Ting used the full influence of the Su family as leverage, exchanging it for a joyless marriage.

Five years into the marriage, she shed the pampered delicacy of a legitimate daughter, dutifully attending to her in-laws morning and evening, smoothing paths and building connections, only to receive his cold indifference and the accusation, "You’re forcing me with your kindness."

When Concubine Liu entered the household and her father was unjustly imprisoned, Xiao Ci's heartlessness completely crushed her. With the Su family's downfall, Su Wan Ting faked her "death from illness," changed her name to A Wan, and went south to Jiangnan.

Unexpectedly, during a famine relief mission in the northwest, Xiao Ci and A Wan unexpectedly reunited. At this time, his career had suffered setbacks, and she had long since shed her former glamour, becoming resilient and independent.

Undercurrents of famine surged, and corrupt officials wreaked havoc. The two were forced to collaborate on investigating the case. During their interactions, Xiao Ci finally saw the true feelings she had deeply hidden in the past, and regret began to grow within him.

When the Su family's grievances were finally redressed, Xiao Ci bowed in repentance. A Wan looked at the land reborn after the disaster, and also at the man before her who had finally awakened, and softly said, "The old Su Wan Ting is dead. A Wan is willing to give you another chance."
