Married first, fall in love later + past and present lives
Xu Huan was deceived, and both she and her unborn child died.
Not long after their wedding, the man shed his gentle facade. But she couldn't divorce him on the grounds of their private marital affairs, so she could only grow cold toward him and find him several concubines. That did help, but in the end she still couldn't escape her fate, dying in the third month of spring.
Given another chance, Xu Huan is disgusted just looking at his face. But that bastard is still thinking of her, and in three months he'll ask the emperor to arrange their marriage again. This time, she'd rather marry a beggar off the street... Hmm... No, a beggar won't do. They're ugly and smelly.
After looking around, Xu Huan turns to Wei Xiang of the Jingyang Guard and proposes a match. He's handsome, comes from a high-ranking family, and has a son.
Perfect. She gets to be a mother without the pain of childbirth, and she couldn't be happier.
At first, Wei Xiang has no interest in a mere young girl. But then he hears that she praised his gentle temperament and decides she has a discerning eye.
Remembering the foolish things she did as a child, he decides he'd better not marry such a silly princess consort after all.
Later... he realizes that only a princess consort like her is worthy of him. Let none of those other trash come near!
P.S. The male lead is not a virgin.
I honestly couldn't think of a reason he would be one.
I haven't updated it for several days. I finally updated it with only one chapter. It's so hard for me.
