[Rival men fighting for her + master manipulator + revenge at all costs + groveling-after-the-breakup romance]
For the audio version, we recommend choosing the gentle, demure female voice.
Everyone says the young marquis's wife, Lady Wang Cui, is so breathtakingly beautiful she could topple a city. The gentle prince refuses to marry anyone else for her; her childhood friend, the general, serves her devotedly; even a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom offered to exchange ten cities for her... Men go mad over her, while women see her and slam into walls in despair.
But if you ask Wang Er Ya, a peasant woman from Little Leaf Village beneath Qingcheng Mountain, what she thinks, she'll pick up her brush and write: “I am merely a merchant's wife with a little beauty to her name. I cannot speak, and can only support my son and daughter with my embroidery, waiting for my husband, Zeng Lang, to return home. He has three moles beneath his left eye. I would never presume to comment on a young madam whose beauty could topple cities and kingdoms.”
