Matters between men and women always sparked endless speculation.
The matter between Xue Xingyao and Shen Mingji had created a huge stir.
Some envied Xue Xingyao's good fortune. As a young lady, she was the pampered daughter of the Duke Mansion, raised in the lap of luxury, never having suffered a single day of hardship.
Her first husband had been the impeccably noble Chen Shujing, heir to a renowned noble family. His reputation preceded him, and he was the man many a maiden dreamed of marrying.
Now, even as a divorced woman, she had managed to captivate Shen Mingji.
Even when the Duke Mansion fell some years ago, she hadn't suffered much, for she had the Empress's support.
And then there was Chen Shujing, who had come to the Capital City to try and win her back...
Anyone else who suffered such a calamity would have seen their life ruined. Yet, Xue Xingyao only seemed to flourish, and even the Xue Family basked in her reflected glory.
