Content warning: non-C + melodrama + [the husband chases his wife after the breakup] + [the second male lead wins]
Lan Qian suddenly transmigrates into the novel she was recently reading, as a noble young lady who had jumped into a river to end her life.
Why would she do that? Good heavens, what woman wouldn't want to die rather than marry Prince Duan?!
Having watched far too many melodramatic period dramas, Lan Qian gets a taste for acting and decides to play the role of a sweet, delicate, virtuous wife and mother.
She spends all afternoon preparing a meal, but her husband doesn't even look at it before throwing it away behind her back.
She has a pair of wedding rings custom-made, but her husband tosses them into a corner of the room.
She waits up late into the night for her husband to come home so she can reproach him, but he acts as if she isn't there.
It's a good script, but after all this time, she's the only one acting out the whole play. Lan Qian starts to get bored.
She decides to quit.
Later, Yun Yuanjin watches with his own eyes as she marries someone else, and sees how she and her husband treat each other with loving devotion.
She brings her husband mung bean soup to beat the summer heat. She puts a purple crystal bracelet, a symbol of enduring love, on his wrist. She playfully chides him for coming home late. He watches the two of them dote on each other.
What he once dismissed as worthless has now become something he can never reach.
Not bad, I think it's good
Come on!!!!
