In her previous life, she devoted everything to the man she loved, only to see her older sister enter the household as his co-wife while she herself died alone.
Reborn on the night she was to marry in someone else’s place, Shen Yao put on her wedding dress without hesitation. This time, she would personally bring her beloved, Lu Yuan, and her sister, Shen Yue, the happy marriage they deserved. With her own body, which was just as unlikely to bear children, she would marry Gu Yanzhi, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, who was rumored not to live past twenty-five.
But she didn’t know that the “sacrifice” she imagined was exactly the happy ending the man had painstakingly arranged for her.
Gu Yanzhi was afflicted with a strange, incurable parasite and had little time left. With his last military achievement, he secured an imperial marriage decree to a legitimate daughter of the Shen family, all so he could push her, Shen Yao, the quiet concubine-born girl who had once gathered fallen blossoms beneath a pear tree at a palace banquet, toward the man she loved, Lu Yuan.
Not until their wedding night, when her veil was lifted, did the truth come out.
“You’re not Shen Yue.” He coughed up blood, but a shadowy light burned in his eyes.
She lowered her gaze. “I beg you, my lord, let my sister and Lord Lu marry.”
He smiled, crushing the nuptial wine cup between his pale fingertips.
A mistaken marriage swap, and two candles steeped in aphrodisiac.
As she sank into the effects of the drug, he, fully conscious through the agony, fell into ruin of his own accord.
“Shen Yao, since we’ve made a mistake... we might as well see it through.”
Later, when Lu Yuan asked her with bloodshot eyes why she had betrayed him, she simply stood in silence behind Gu Yanzhi.
The frail, sickly heir tossed his bloodstained handkerchief into the brazier and looked up with a faint smile.
“Lord Lu, she is now my wife.”
Even if he died tomorrow, today he would hold her in his arms.
Very, very, very, very, very beautiful. The writing is exquisite. It's so frustrating. Why can Lu Lu still live a stable life? If he hadn't given out the antidote, would the heroine have died? And this sister is just in love and has no real help to the heroine. Forget it, the bad guys haven't been punished yet [awkward laugh]
I really can't stand it anymore. Can you cure the male protagonist's disease as soon as possible? I cried in the middle of the night and fainted. I read that antidotes are easy to find in other novels. Where are the male protagonist's doctor friends? Why haven't they shown up yet? 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 😢 I want them to be happy
It's very interesting to watch, the psychological description is particularly delicate and real, and the pace is very slow, making people enjoy the emotional sublimation process between the male and female protagonists. The only dissatisfaction is that the update speed is slow. I don't want to follow it anymore. It's fun to go back and watch it again after the update is completed!
The author's writing style combines with my aesthetics. The psychological description is meticulous, and he outlines the inner world of each character in detail. There are hesitations and struggles, decisiveness, love, and regret. It is very good. I just don't know how the author managed to write two works at the same time 🤭🤭
Why is it that the extra chapter has not been updated since the 5th episode? Will it never be updated again?
I feel like it's not enough, so I'll make the extra episode longer [Sending my heart]
Damn, updating two books in a row is quite tiring, but you have to update it too! Let's update more, please update more, model worker~
I like it very much, the descriptions allow people to understand the characters' hearts. Come on and update, the author is great
It's really beautiful… The main thing is that the emotional line is eloquently told, and the process of slowly heating up is very good.
For the time being, I see that the ones in front are all my favorites.
