Ruo: I refuse.
In her previous life, Yun Ruo spent her days yielding and compromising, only to be branded a jealous wife, a wicked woman, and a wanton. In the end, she drowned in a well.
If that's how it is, then she'll live up to the name! What womanly virtue? What wifely obedience? Yun Ruo refuses!
She answers only to her own heart.
Excerpt:
“The general is cursed by fate, bringing death to his family and wives. And I happen to be scorned by the world as a wicked woman. If the general marries me, he can even do the people a favor. A fine deed all around.” Yun Ruo stopped Shen Li and lowered her eyes, taking a gamble.
Shen Li sized up the delicate beauty before him. Cursed by fate, he had lost both parents, and even his betrothed had died of illness. He had thought he would spend this life alone, carrying his curse onto the battlefield until he died.
But now, it seemed he had met a woman with an even stronger fate than his.
Yun Ruo: I'm hard to kill. Heaven itself couldn't finish me off. A little curse is nothing. I can handle it, right?
Shen Li: My wife speaks the truth.
The message: May we live as our true selves, free from constraints.
