Lovesickness to the Bone

Pei Jinxuan, the emperor of Western Liang, and Mu Shiyu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jingyuan, were childhood sweethearts who had been engraved in each other's lives since childhood. Three years ago, the Mu family's father and son died in the battlefield, and their mother left with them. Mu Shiyu was left to guard the Duke's palace alone to pay filial piety to her family. Pei Jinxuan set up an empty harem for her and only hoped that the filial piety period would be over, so that she could be together for the rest of her life. The three-year period of filial piety was about to expire, and the border war broke out again. Under the city gate, Pei Jinxuan, wearing armor, caressed Mu Shiyu's elegant face. His tone was gentle as before: "When I come back, I will marry you as my queen." Mu Shiyu took off the jade pendant from her neck that kept her safe and tied it solemnly around his neck: "I'll wait for you." He kissed her forehead lightly and turned around to lead the troops to the battlefield. A year later, news of the victory reached the imperial city, and Pei Jinxuan returned with a great victory. But Mu Shiyu was waiting in front of the city gate not only for him in triumph but also for the woman named Wei Wanrong beside him.
