(Face-slapping + male rivalry + regret arc + secret crush comes true)
He was treated as a bastard child. The day he was buried alive and bullied, his sister-in-law dug him out, gave him a name, dressed him in new clothes, and told him to live for himself. She helped him set out on the road to achievement and success.
Qu Yueqing is a “widow” with a child. After marrying for a second time, she cooks and keeps house for the Lou family, supports a poor scholar in his studies, and helps her younger brother-in-law embark on a military career.
Later, the poor scholar earns his title. On the day he returns home, the house is decked out with lanterns and banners to welcome the new top scholar.
But... he doesn’t come back alone. He brings a woman and a child with him.
The woman approaches her warmly and politely. “Sister, you worked so hard to support my husband. I’m deeply grateful...”
After learning the reason, Qu Yueqing refuses to become a co-wife and willingly steps aside.
When the top scholar tries to divorce her, Qu Yueqing smiles faintly and agrees.
Just then, her younger brother-in-law, a celebrated war hero, rides home on a fine steed.
He sees the sister-in-law who rescued him, gave him a name, and gave him hope, being handed divorce papers by her faithless husband.
His eyes darken. Hand on his sword, he walks up to Qu Yueqing, drops to his knees, and bows his head. “Sister-in-law, Su Qing has finally earned military honors and received the emperor’s favor. I’ve come especially to take you to the capital to enjoy a life of comfort!”
A four-horse carriage stops at the Lou family’s gate, and Qu Yueqing climbs aboard, setting off toward a life of wealth and status.
Just like that, she goes from being his wife to being my wife. Su Qing is willing to humble himself for love.
She is his goddess, and he will kneel before her for all eternity.
Not bad, very pretty
