Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of eighteen. Li Rong saw the opportunity to avoid calamities in Pei Wenxuan’s family background, while Pei Wenxuan was attracted to princess Li Rong’s status for a chance at a better life. It was a political marriage, devoid of any true affection.
Later on, she became obsessed with music and revelry, and he had someone in his heart but never entered their home. After thirty years of marriage, apart from power, there was nothing else between them.
Finally, manipulated by others, they died under each other’s schemes, which was not surprising.
However, when she woke up, she found herself back at the age of eighteen, the most challenging time for the two of them.
So Pei Wenxuan went to find Li Rong.
“Your Highness, do you think this marriage should happen again?”
“Sure…”
“Then I have to get rid of your ‘guest’ first.”
“Do you think this princess will let your lover stay?!”
After a moment of silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again, “How about we endure each other for a while? When we hold great power in two years, we can divorce, settling scores and grievances. What does the princess think?”
Li Rong hesitated for a moment, then said, “Fine, let’s make do for now.”
Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong dominated the court. He watched as Li Rong wrote a letter of divorce at home, and after thinking it over, Pei Wenxuan finally entered the study.
“The children are already grown. How about enduring it for a bit longer?”
