I Chose the Man My Ex Dreads

Shen Yunuan, legitimate daughter of the Minister’s Manor, was engaged to Xiao Yan, heir of Marquis Ningyuan. To curry favor with her half-sister Shen Ruying, Xiao Yan lost the polo match on purpose, surrendering the Nine-Phoenix Hairpin, her late mother’s keepsake meant for her. He even absurdly asked for Shen Ruying to marry first and relegate Shen Yunuan to a lesser status. Heartbroken, Shen Yunuan ended the betrothal. Following her mother’s last words, she married Jiang Yuanzhou, heir of Duke Qi who won the hairpin, in grand ceremony. Xiao Yan lived in deep remorse after marriage, suffering family strife and dying on the frontier. Shen Yunuan and Jiang Yuanzhou lived happily ever after.
