In the 34th year of Zhihe, Ning'an had a rare heavy snowfall in ten years. The border war was tense, but the prosperous capital was as usual, with singing and dancing.

It was already the hour of Xu, and it had been snowing for a day. The corridor had already accumulated half a meter of snow. Children gathered on the street to build snowmen, and the atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.

Next to a window on the third floor of Qinrui Pavilion, a woman in a silk dress sat. Her slender hands, like mutton-fat jade, reached out of the window and caught a few pieces of goose-feather-like snow.

The snow melted quickly and turned into a pool of water, which made her palms slightly cool.

How can we fight in such a heavy snow...

The figure in armor, standing tall, seemed to be right in front of us.

The woman's crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and her willow eyebrows were tightly furrowed. The right half of her face is like a gift from God, with skin as smooth as gelatin and exquisite facial features. Every part of it is carefully carved, making it so beautiful that it is soul-stirring.

The door was lightly clicked, and the servant's voice came: "Miss Jiang, we are looking for you."

Jiang Yuanyi turned around, and half of her face was covered with scars. A very scary face suddenly came into view, which completely cut off her beautiful appearance, making her look hideous and terrifying.

She promised softly: "Here he comes."

The woman twirled her fingertips slightly, took off the veil hanging next to the bronze mirror, put it on, and went downstairs with her pipa.

Qinrui Pavilion is the brothel with the best business in the capital in recent years. dignitaries and sons from aristocratic families all love to come here to have fun.

The guest rooms on the third floor are specially used to receive distinguished guests. Before Jiang Yuanyi even walked in, she heard a noisy noise inside, a man's deep voice mixed with a woman's tender words.

She lowered her head slightly, and the dancer who had changed her clothes grabbed her hand worriedly and whispered: "They are teasing you again, why did you come here?"

Jiang Yuanyi looked at her, her peach blossom eyes as beautiful as the morning glow seemed to be covered by gray mist: "If I don't come, they will tease you twice as much."

The dancer sighed.

"Miss Jiang, you are so proud. Our Master Chu is still waiting! Don't you want to come to see your former husband?! Hahaha!" A deep and rough voice suddenly sounded, followed by bursts of mocking laughter.

The dancer's eyes were slightly red with anger: "Why would these young masters be like this? They are just seeking revenge for what happened..."

Jiang Yuanyi's eyebrows were indifferent. Yes, they were seeking revenge.

Jiang Yuanyi was once the most famous woman in the capital. She had a stunning beauty and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The annual tea party after she came of age made Jiang Yuanyi famous. Several young masters from aristocratic families came to propose marriage, but Jiang Yuanyi rejected them one by one.

Chu Huan was the most famous young master from aristocratic families in the capital. He was a well-known man of both character and talent. After the tea party, Chu Huan was also impressed by Jiang Yuanyi's beauty. He often asked his servants to send letters to Jiang Yuanyi, and the letters were full of poems expressing his love.

At that time, Jiang's mother was looking for a good man for her daughter. Chu Huan had the best family background, the best character, and happened to be the one her daughter liked the most. Especially compared with Xiao Tuo, the son of a famous military general, he was just what Jiang's mother wanted. This marriage was a natural outcome.

The Jiang family was a merchant family with a low status. Even if she married into the Chu family, the prime minister of the dynasty, as a concubine, it would be a great opportunity to marry high.

In the first few years after her marriage, Chu Huan still maintained the appearance of a humble young man in front of outsiders, and was gentle to Jiang Yuanyi. But one day, Jiang Yuanyi was not feeling well and did not want to sleep with Chu Huan. Chu Huan ignored Jiang Yuanyi's resistance and forced her.

Since then, Chu Huan was too lazy to pretend in front of Jiang Yuanyi, and his lustful and greedy appearance was undoubtedly revealed.

At that time, it was the time to seize the throne. The court was full of twists and turns. Jiang Yuanyi could feel the turbulent atmosphere in the capital even in her inner chambers, and Chu Huan became more and more violent towards her. He often came back late at night, broke open her door, and had sex with her, and then the next day, sent someone to deliver contraceptive soup.

In the 33rd year of Zhihe, the sixth prince Liu Yi was made the crown prince, and the Chu family became more and more powerful, becoming the greatest contributor to assisting the crown prince. And the small Jiang family, at some point, also participated in the struggle for the throne, and the one standing on the side of the third prince Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi lost power, and the Jiang family fell.

More than 30 people in the family were all exiled.

Jiang Yuanyi heard this and cried and begged Chu Huan to save her parents and brother. Chu Huan looked at her coldly and said, "The struggle for succession often leads to the destruction of the family."

Jiang Yuanyi knelt down and begged him, kowtowed repeatedly, but Chu Huan grabbed her chin, his gentle eyes full of coldness, "The crown prince doesn't want you to have an easy life, what can I do?"

Jiang Yuanyi knelt at his door for two days and two nights, but it didn't work. Jiang Yuanyi gave up and stopped begging him. She changed into a servant's clothes and prepared to go find Jiang's father and mother, but was caught by another favorite concubine of Chu Huan, Liu Ruyan. Jiang Yuanyi was tied up and brought back to the Chu family. Liu Ruyan blocked her mouth and scratched her left face with a knife.

Jiang Yuanyi's servant Xiaoqing asked Chu Huan to seek justice. Chu Huan came over with an impatient look on his face, looking at Jiang Yuanyi, whose face was covered in blood, with disgust.

He sat on a rosewood chair with carved silk flowers. He turned to look at his wife beside him with a cold and harsh expression, and said, "Sell her away."

Jiang Yuanyi raised her head in disbelief, and every word she said was tearful: "Chu Huan, you treat me like this! Why did you marry me in the first place?"

Chu Huan waved his hand lightly, and after everyone had left, he walked up to her, his eyes pondering: "You are the daughter of a small merchant with a humble status. It is a great blessing for you to serve me these years."

He glanced at her bloody left face with disgust: "The only thing you are valuable about is your looks. In your current state, what qualifications do you have to stay in my house?"

Jiang Yuanyi was soon sold to a brothel by a matchmaker. The brothel's madam had received favors from Jiang's father, and did not force Jiang Yuanyi to sell herself. She only allowed her to accompany singing and dancing.

Several months passed peacefully like this, and someone spread the news of her being here. The young masters of noble families who had been rejected by her came to see her miserable state and humiliated her with words.

Jiang Yuanyi was not someone who would allow herself to be bullied. She dealt with them with a few words, and the humiliation could not cause any harm to her.

But half a month ago, a group of young masters of noble families came together again, including Chu Huan.

Chu Huan looked at him with gloomy eyes, raised his lips, and smiled annoyingly: "I heard that the abandoned woman I divorced has become a famous official prostitute in the capital after not seeing her for a few months."

He pulled off the gauze covering her face.

After being shocked, the young masters of noble families laughed even more wantonly, and all kinds of humiliating words could not stop.

A deep and dignified voice suddenly rang out: "Enough!"

Jiang Yuanyi looked up and saw him standing in the corridor in the deep moonlight, wearing a helmet and armor. He exuded the aura of a veteran of the battlefield, and frightened the group of young masters of the noble families into being speechless.

"General Xiao." Chu Huan sneered and said.

Xiao Tuo walked in with his belt in one hand and his sword in the other.

"I'll book this shop tonight, you guys..." He raised his chin and said, "Get out."

After the group of people left, Jiang Yuanyi put on a veil and poured wine for him with a normal expression.

But he grabbed her hand and called her in a low voice: "Yuanyi."

Jiang Yuanyi's nose was tingling. She wanted to break free, but she didn't have the strength to move. She raised her head and looked at him.

The handsome and resolute man had red eyes at this time. With trembling fingertips, he took off her veil, and his dry and warm palm gently stroked the disfigured side of her face, his voice trembling: "At the beginning, I should have taken you away directly."

Jiang Yuanyi didn't say anything. She was blinded by greed. She could only blame herself and hate herself.

He held her hands tightly and looked at him: "Yuanyi, will you marry me?"

Jiang Yuanyi felt like thunder had exploded. She looked at him in disbelief, and her eyes were instantly wet.

Xiao Tuo is no longer the dissolute playboy in the past. He is a general respected by the people, who has fought for the country and has made countless military achievements. How could he be a stain on his upright life?

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head and refused.

Xiao Tuo smiled and touched her head: "You have rejected me for the third time, but this time, I will not listen."

Jiang Yuanyi looked at him.

His eyes were firm and gentle: "I am returning to Beijing to report on my work. The situation on the border is tense. I have to hurry over tomorrow. When I win this battle, I will come back to marry you."

...

...

"Jiang Yuanyi." A familiar voice sounded, as frightening as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

Jiang Yuanyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she came back to her senses and went in with the dancer.

She sat down on the side of the stage, straightened her clothes, and lightly swept with her fingertips, and music as soft as flowing water sounded.

A loud noise suddenly rang out, accompanied by the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

Jiang Yuanyi raised her head and saw Chu Huan sitting opposite her with a gloomy look in his eyes. The other young masters of noble families chattered a few words and left with the girls.

The accompanying musicians and dancers stopped awkwardly.

Chu Huan said coldly: "You get out." Jiang

Yuanyi walked out with them, but was suddenly strangled by the waist from behind. The door blew up a gust of wind and slammed shut.

Jiang Yuanyi was thrown to the ground by Chu Huan before she could scream.

The purple gauze on her face made her eyebrows and eyes more delicate and charming. Chu Huan walked over and pinched her chin fiercely: "Beg me, beg me and I will take you back."

Jiang Yuanyi looked at Chu Huan with a sneer and said nothing.

Chu Huan ripped her clothes roughly: "How many people have slept with you?!"

Jiang Yuanyi cried and hid from him, pulled off a red hairpin and stabbed it into his neck fiercely. Chu Huan reacted quickly, grabbed her hand, and gritted his teeth: "Who are you keeping your virginity for? Ah?!"

Chu Huan pinched her waist and helped her up, smiling: "For Xiao Tuo?"

Jiang Yuanyi's face changed slightly.

Chu Huan looked at her tearful eyes: "That fool is willing to marry a slut like you. But, he can't marry you."

Jiang Yuanyi said in a faint voice: "I know I am not worthy of him."

Chu Huan looked at Jiang Yuanyi, sneered and said: "He is dead"

General Xiao, who had fought for the country for many years, was shot through the chest by an enemy's arrow in the coldest month of the empire and fell on the ice and snow.

The tears in Jiang Yuanyi's eyes finally burst out. She reached into her sleeves, slowly took out a pill, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Chu Huan reached out and slowly took off her clothes. Looking at the woman's skin on her shoulders and neck, which was still as delicate as jade, his eyes were gloomy: "Beg me, and I will take you back."

A drop of blood suddenly dripped on his hand. Chu Huan raised his eyes with a slightly surprised look, and saw Jiang Yuanyi taking off the veil, with bright red blood flowing from the corners of her mouth. The intact half of her face was as charming as a fairy in the dark night.

Chu Huan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he pinched her delicate chin: "What did you eat?!"

Jiang Yuanyi looked at him: "The thing I regret most in this life is marrying you."

"If there is an afterlife, I never want to see you again."
