Synopsis

Xue Ling and Cui Yu had been betrothed since childhood and grew up together. She was peerlessly beautiful, and he was a refined gentleman. They were a perfect match.

After their wedding, her in-laws were kind and generous, and her sister-in-law was good-hearted. Everyone envied Xue Ling.

But only Xue Ling knew that in their three years of marriage, Cui Yu treated her lovingly in public but coldly in private, and had never touched her.

Xue Ling couldn’t understand why, until the day Cui Yu brought a woman before his parents and Xue Ling, then begged them to let the woman into the family. Only then did Xue Ling realize that Cui Yu had never loved her.

On the first and fifteenth of every month, Xue Ling went to Pujia Temple outside the city to burn incense and pray. That day, as she made her way down the mountain, a violent storm broke out, and her carriage became stuck in a muddy rut.

A plain carriage approached from the other direction and stopped beside hers. The Crown Prince leaned out and held out a hand, asking if she would ride with him.

Xue Ling looked into the Crown Prince’s unfathomable eyes. Thinking of how Cui Yu had stood protectively in front of that woman the day before, his face full of tender devotion, she lowered her beautiful eyes and raised her delicate hand.

The rain fell heavily later that day. The self-controlled, proper Crown Prince pinned Xue Ling beneath him, and she could no longer hear a single drop of rain.

After Xue Ling divorced Cui Yu, everyone laughed at her for being foolish. But not long afterward, an imperial edict arrived at the Xue residence, and Xue Ling, returned to her family after the divorce, became the Crown Princess.

Cui Yu had thought he felt nothing for Xue Ling but the affection one has for a sister. Only when she left the Cui residence with her dowry without looking back did he begin to regret it.

It's great! I hope the prince and the female lead get together soon, so the scumbag guy can suffer.

The female protagonist's inner emotions are described delicately and vividly! Moreover, her trust and reliance on her husband, her childhood sweetheart, reveals her simple side, showing that she is a timid and honest beauty.

It's great. The female lead plays hard to get, feigning resistance and attraction, which makes the male lead swoon. It's something everyone should learn from.

The author excels at describing character details, which always allows me to fill in the blanks in my mind, haha. Plus, the prince is portrayed as adorably serious, with a touch of humor. I absolutely love the scenes where the male and female leads interact!

Why do I feel that the Crown Prince was being a bit unreasonable? In ancient times, women rarely had the freedom to choose their own partners. She liked the Crown Prince, but it wasn't yet at the point of marriage.

Actually, it's quite good. The prince's methods are a bit forceful, but he's straightforward and dares to express his love. The only downside is that he didn't rescue the female lead in time when the fire broke out, leaving her with a scar. The plot is a little angsty, with the female lead's hesitation and the male lead's unwillingness to compromise.

I think it's great, so why is the rating so low? The pacing is a bit slow, but the author's writing is truly delicate; all the descriptions are plausible and logical, and the portrayal of a man pursuing a woman is very thorough, including his actions and inner thoughts. It's excellent! I've added it to my favorites!

I've finished reading it. It's not bad, but it would be even better if the author could explain when the Crown Prince falls in love with the female lead. A monologue from the Crown Prince would be helpful; otherwise, it feels a bit empty.

Go, go, go! The female lead is going to become strong!

There's absolutely no sign of the woman having any feelings left; it would be better if they just parted ways amicably.
