Synopsis

[Also known as: Temptation: My Lord Only Wants to Keep His Beauty Hidden Away]

[Marriage first, love later + husband’s long road to winning her back + sweet and angsty] “That young lady from the Wen family is eighteen, gentle and charming, poised and virtuous, well-read and gracious! She and Lord Shen would be a match made in heaven, a pair of birds in the sky and entwined branches on earth, devoted to each other and growing old hand in hand!”

Shen Heng'an stared in disbelief at Wen Xiaowan, who looked as if she were having a fit of madness or as though her soul had left her body. Remembering how the matchmaker had once praised her to the skies, he could only sigh and rub his forehead.

Later, Shen Heng'an would lie awake night after night, thinking that perhaps he had already fallen for her the moment he pulled her from the lotus pond.

And when he lost her, he finally understood: the heart she had filled completely had left with her long ago.

[A few little shards of angst in the middle.]
