Jiang Ning and Lu Changqing grew up together, and she was only waiting for his mourning period to end before he came to ask for her hand and honor the betrothal between their families.
But instead, he showed up with his mistress and forced a child on her.
So Jiang Ning turned to Lu Changqing’s third uncle and said, “I want to marry you instead. Let’s make the betrothal with the Lu family ours.”
Everyone in the capital knew Jiang Ning was devoted to Lu Changqing, but he had never once taken her seriously.
So how had Lu Changqing’s little shadow suddenly become engaged to Lu Heng, the chancellor and regent?
Lu Heng was as pure as snow and elegant as a plum blossom, a man of incomparable beauty, yet cold and detached. At twenty-seven, he was still unmarried. Why would he choose Jiang Ning, whose family was nothing special?
Lu Changqing didn’t believe it either. He assumed Jiang Ning was only trying to make him jealous, so he kept testing her.
Watching his third uncle and Jiang Ning clasp hands and whisper intimately, Lu Changqing’s eyes nearly burst with rage.
Jiang Ning thought her engagement to Lu Heng was a matter of mutual convenience, but after they became engaged, things between them grew increasingly complicated.
When her family wanted to punish her for taking her half-brother to court, one word from him brought her to the Lu household and spared her a beating.
When she publicly sought a divorce on behalf of her late mother and her father and grandmother accused her of being unfilial, he stood up for her.
On their wedding night, Lu Heng whispered against her ear, “You don’t need to stand on tiptoe, my lady. I’ll bend down for you.”
Pure historical domestic drama (no rebirth, no golden finger, no transmigration) + sweet romance + heroine’s perspective, marriage before love + regretful pursuit, heroine never turns back + mutually devoted + ten-year age gap
It's a bland and sweet story, which may be a bit frustrating at first, but as a native, the heroine is already very powerful. Later on, the relationship between the two of them got better and better. Especially since both of them had long mouths, they quickly confessed their feelings and told each other about their childhood events, which felt very comfortable.
It's very good-looking, fast-paced, sweet in emotion, and the young male protagonist is great! Feel free to rush.
Marrying different people has different endings. Choosing the right person is important.
It's very good. It's rare to find a good ancient book.
The author is great and very good-looking. Please maintain the standard and don't stop updating.
