Why would Chen Shimei rather die than recognize Qin Xianglian?

For its splendor, Chen Shimei will never recognize Qin Xianglian again. Chen Shimei is the protagonist of "My Beautiful Case". He was originally a poor scholar, and his goal has always been to become famous. Finally, I studied hard at the cold window and was admitted to the top scholar. At that time, the princess liked this new champion very much and wanted to marry Chen Shimei. The emperor asked Chen Shimei about getting married. When Chen Shimei heard that the princess was going to marry him, she hid the fact of her family and was able to get the beauty back.

Qin Xianglian learned that Chen Shimei had won the bid and left his wife, so he went to Beijing to find him. I didn't expect to be assassinated by Chen Shimei one after another. He completely abandoned the mutual affection between husband and wife and was preoccupied with Qin Xianglian's death, regardless of the lives of his two children. Therefore, Qin Xianglian complained to Bao Gong and begged Bao Gong to make decisions for her. Why is Chen Shimei so cruel and refuses to recognize Qin Xianglian?

1. You can't let Xu's identity go. At that time, Chen Shimei was already a father-in-law. He has a princess as his wife and he is also a member of the royal family. At this time to admit Qin Xianglian's identity, he must give up his wealth. And when he faces the emperor's inquiry, he can hide his family's situation. At this moment, in the face of Qin Xianglian's accusation, he will not admit it. What's more, compared with the princess in Qin Xianglian, Chen Shimei would rather choose a princess of noble birth than Qin Xianglian of poor birth.

In other words, Chen Shimei, who became the top scholar, is no longer the poor top scholar Chen Shimei. He was attracted by the wealth, the status of master Xu and his high position. Chen Shimei can rely on the help of the princess and soon become the master here. Why should he admit Qin Xianglian, the wife who denounced her husband at the expense of her future?

2. Avoid the crime of deceiving the monarch. For the sake of the marriage between the princess and Chen Shimei, the emperor specially asked Chen Shimei if she was married. Chen Shimei said it herself, and now she suddenly has an ex-wife, Qin Xianglian. If Chen Shimei admits that this man is his first wife and that he has been married, he is cheating the emperor and committing the crime of cheating the monarch. Chen Shimei won't recognize Qin Xianglian in order not to offend the emperor.

And as long as Chen Shimei doesn't admit it, neither the emperor nor the princess will believe Qin Xianglian's words just by Qin Xianglian's testimony. Even if the emperor is suspicious, Chen Shimei has the help of the princess, and for the sake of the princess, the emperor will choose to trust Chen Shimei. Qin Xianglian can only be a female liar who slanders Xu today. In this way, the princess will not lose her husband, and the royal family will not fall into the embarrassing situation of being cheated.

3. Deny your past. Qin Xianglian is not only Chen Shimei's wife, but also Chen Shimei's past. Chen Shimei used to be a poor scholar. If he hadn't seen the royal wealth, he might not have abandoned his wife. But when he discovered this magnificent world, he knew that his only chance to enter this world came from the princess. Chen Shimei abandoned Qin Xianglian and his children, in fact, he had already decided to bid farewell to the past and enter a new life.

The princess brought him this new life, and he enjoyed it all, so Chen Shimei didn't want to go back to the past. More importantly, he is unwilling to admit his past self. Chen Shimei abandoned his poor and humble self in the past and chose to pursue higher fame and fortune. Generally speaking, Chen Shimei refused to recognize Qin Xianglian because he didn't want to give up all his fame and fortune, and he didn't want to go back to the past.
