Child Bride

When I was five, a terrible drought struck, and the crops yielded nothing. My father sold me to the Jiang family to be a child bride for the eldest madam’s unborn young master. Having a place to live was already a blessing to me. But I never expected the eldest madam to die in childbirth, and the young master and I were sent to the countryside, forgotten for more than a decade. Later, when upheaval struck the household, we were brought back to the Jiang family. But the vast gap in our status forced Jiang Shengnian and me apart. I thought I had endured every hardship for Jiang Shengnian, but he thought I was a coward who cared only about saving my own skin. Later, for the sake of his future, Jiang Shengnian married another woman. I returned to the countryside and lived out my days alone. We never saw each other again.
