The Bride Who Brought Good Fortune

I was Pei Yu'an's bride, chosen to bring him good fortune.

I wasn't the one he'd originally been betrothed to. That was my older sister.

But his family was poor, and his mother's notorious reputation preceded her.

My mother looked down on him, and my sister even more so.

In the end, they had no choice but to send me to fob him off.

On our wedding night, he lifted my red veil.

When he saw it was me, he was so furious that he spat up blood.

But in the end, he still didn't send me away.

For seven years, I stayed by his side through his demotion to Qingzhou, living in a thatched hut and sleeping on a plank bed.

When we returned to the capital, Pei Yu'an was getting married again.

This time, the woman he wanted to marry was still my older sister.
