Hong Can'er was beautiful, but her life was as precarious as a drifting duckweed. Her parents died young, her inheritance was seized, and her jealous cousin and aunt forced her into a bridal sedan to marry the third son of the Wei family in a neighboring village, who had supposedly “died in battle” seven years earlier. On their wedding day, her cruel mother-in-law tossed her a bag of moldy rice and drove her to a deserted old house to fend for herself.
“If there’s no way back, then I might as well live life to the fullest!”
She took up the spinning wheel, reclaimed the wasteland, and planted vegetables. She cursed the heavens in front of her late husband's memorial tablet, unaware that…
Her supposedly “long-dead” husband was hiding nearby, watching her every move with a burning gaze…
Wei Zhuoran had served in the army for seven years and won countless honors, but had returned home under an assumed name to investigate a conspiracy in the ranks. Just after getting back to the village, he was shocked to learn that he had “gotten married” and acquired a little wife who dared to clutch his memorial tablet and curse him.
“This girl is rather interesting.”
He watched coldly as she repaired the house, worked the land, and bickered with the villagers. He watched her chatter to his memorial tablet every night. Then, one evening, she dug up the hunting knife he had hidden in his youth. Tears fell onto its rusty blade as she whispered, “Wei Sanlang, if only you were alive…”
**At last, he strode through the moonlight and pushed open the door, **
“Madam, your husband isn't dead yet. You're crying too soon.”
