A Flawless Plan

Xue Shengnan's eyes reddened slightly. She maintained her weak demeanor, "I'll follow whatever Father decides."

Hearing this, Lord Xue's expression softened a bit. Yet, looking at Xue Shengnan's beautiful face, a sense of frustration churned within him. He had high hopes for this daughter, but she had turned out to be mediocre. When selecting the consort for the Royal Heir, she failed to leave any impression on Empress Xie due to her lack of talents.

The other noble families also found her unsatisfactory, forcing Lord Xue to choose Song Zihan as her husband. Though his family background was modest, Song Zihan was the second-ranked scholar in the imperial examinations and had great potential. But now, just before the wedding, Song Zihan had been gravely harmed.

Lord Xue now thought his daughter wasn't blessed with good fortune but was rather a bringer of misfortune.

"Enough," he said, standing up. "Stop looking so tearful. I'll find you another good match."
