Around this time, after his sixteenth birthday, Shen Shi went to the Prime Minister's residence and unexpectedly met Lin Yu'er's half-sister.
The same scenario, the same formula: Shen Shi falls in love at first sight once again with Lin Yu'er's younger sister, Lin Han'er.
However, the reason why Shen Shi fell in love with Lin Han'er at first sight was quite bizarre.
The reason was that the other person looked like his deceased sister.
Empress Wang gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Shen Shi's older sister was three years older than him and unfortunately died of smallpox when he was ten years old.
The siblings have a very good relationship. Whenever Shen Shi sees Lin Han'er, who looks just like his sister, he can't help but want to pay attention to her.
Then he was attracted by Lin Han'er's every move and naturally fell in love with her.
Shen Shi resorted to his old tricks again, frequently trying to win over Lin Han'er.
But the truth eventually came out, and his infidelity was soon discovered by Lin Yu'er.
Unable to bear the thought of her beloved falling in love with her younger sister, Lin Yu'er wants to annul the engagement. Shen Shi, who has already fallen for someone else, naturally also wants to annul the engagement.
However, the marriage was arranged by the Emperor himself, and Shen Shi was not as favored as the Crown Prince, so it was not something he could simply break off.
Left with no other choice, the wedding had to be postponed again and again.
After two years of this, Shen Shi still married Lin Yu'er, and the two remained a couple in name only.
Later, the Shen family dynasty collapsed, and Shen Shi was imprisoned. The servants who served him were dismissed one by one, and only Lin Yu'er stayed by his side.
During his confinement, he was so overwhelmed with despair that he contemplated suicide, but in the end, it was Lin Yu'er's strong will to live that moved him.
Shen Shi never expected that Lin Yu'er, who grew up in seclusion, would be so strong. Even though she had permanently lost her freedom, she could still find joy in her own company.
Through their time together, Shen Shi fell in love with Lin Yu'er again, this time for her indomitable spirit.
However, he had betrayed Lin Yu'er's true feelings. The stubborn Lin Yu'er had long been disheartened and refused to give Shen Shi another chance. The two could never be reconciled.
