My Husband Is a Former Imperial Son-in-Law

In the blossoming days of spring, while the grass grows and warblers fly, the noble ladies of the capital are in no mood for outings.

For one, they can't stop gossiping about Miss Yang from the eastern part of the city. Originally a minor branch member of the prominent Yang family of Hongnong, she had been engaged to the son of the Grand Chancellor since childhood. Despite the Grand Chancellor’s family's esteemed position, they remained loyal and virtuous, unwavering in their commitment even as many high-born ladies coveted the engagement. However, when the Grand Chancellor’s family was exiled, Miss Yang unilaterally broke off the engagement—earning herself the title of a cold-hearted and faithless woman.

Meanwhile, in the western part of the city, Lord Wei, once the emperor's son-in-law-to-be, had been engaged to the emperor’s beloved legitimate daughter, Princess Xin’an. Before the marriage could take place, Princess Xin’an's brother rebelled, forcing Lord Wei to dissolve the engagement. He, too, became known as a heartless man who abandoned others in their time of need.

The people whispered: both are ruthless and treacherous—marrying either of them would bring ruin to one’s family.

Yet, three months later, Lord Wei proposed to Miss Yang. The public sneered, calling them birds of a feather, destined for a miserable union.

Unexpectedly, as time went on, the "faithless woman" and the "heartless man" became the capital’s model couple, shocking everyone.
