Wang Chaoyun was born to an official family. She was cheerful by nature, bright and outspoken.
After escorting her father’s and brothers’ coffins home, she observed four years of mourning, then traveled a great distance to Lin’an to marry her betrothed, Xu Zhao.
But when she arrived, she found Xu Zhao preparing to marry someone else, and the bride was her own future sister-in-law!
The scoundrel’s family thought they could take advantage of her, since she had no parents or brothers and was getting on in years. They demoted her from principal wife to co-wife and planned to marry both women on the same day.
Unwilling to swallow such an insult, Wang Chaoyun broke off the engagement on the spot and became a spinster nobody wanted.
With a generous dowry and no friends or family in this unfamiliar land, where could an older woman with a broken engagement turn next?
As it happened, someone recognized her worth!
Chu Zicheng, deputy magistrate of Jiaxing County and a distant kinsman of the imperial family, had a wife, Yaoniang, who was gravely ill. Clinging to life, she searched everywhere for someone she could entrust with her husband and son.
“You want me to become your husband’s second wife? Aren’t you afraid I’ll mistreat your son?” Wang Chaoyun asked.
“I’m not afraid. I trust you!” Yaoniang’s frail hand clasped Wang Chaoyun’s tightly, her gaze sincere and full of hope.
Wang Chaoyun looked at the refined, somewhat world-weary man standing beside her, then at the child, whose eyes brimmed with stubbornness and unease. She gave a solemn nod.
Very good. The heroine Wang Chaoyun is a brave and strategist who can take action but never force her. As a stepmother, the heroine is kind and responsible, and the hero is also a master who handles things clearly. Even when his mother is ill, he does not flirt with women, and he is not frivolous when he is with the heroine. No matter how Chun Niang and Chun Xing seduce, he is always loyal to the heroine. Chun Xing's beheading should be able to scare away the demons of the Xu family and the Sun family. The death of Xu Zhao, a natural disaster caused by God, is like pulling out the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. Xu Fu, Mrs. Xu and Song Wan should not be able to make any big splash! You can see that my breasts are unobstructed ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I only grew them at the end, but overall it's good, five-star praise 👍 👍 👍
This is the first time I read a novel of this type, and it feels more exciting than a short play! Sure enough, as the sisters who have watched it commented, it makes people feel happy! The heroine is a wonderful person, she just gets started without any fuss! It's so exciting and only has more than seventy chapters, but I feel like it's not enough!!!
The heroine is kind and true-hearted, with a clear distinction between love and hate, and a vivid portrayal of the character.
It's good to watch. Although it's an imaginary history, you can still tell that it's set in the early Southern Song Dynasty. The heroine has a fiery temperament. She can do things but never speak. She acts in a fiery manner without holding back.
A very, very beautiful book!
Good-looking, compact, lively and interesting plot
I'd like to give you some encouragement. It's okay to write it with the Northern Song Dynasty as the background, but the ending is a bit rushed. I should be able to write more. The male protagonist has very few scenes throughout the whole process.
It's very good-looking, and the heroine is brave and resourceful in what she does. Crisp and neat. If you can do it, you will never force it. I just feel like my life will be better if I write more honestly.
Like this book very much. It's a pleasure to watch. Good mood! Very excited to look back.
The angle is very new and worth a look!
