Yan Tai: A Childhood Sweetheart’s Mistake

Xiao Yun, daughter of the Grand General of Fuyuan and known by the assumed name Xiao Yanzi, and Fu Ertai, son of a Grand Academician, were childhood sweethearts whose fates became entangled after they were separated as children. At eighteen, Xiao Yun returned to the capital under an assumed identity. While helping Ziwei find her father, she unexpectedly entered the palace and, through a twist of fate, was betrothed to Fu Ertai. On their wedding night, they discovered that neither was the person the other loved. Fu Ertai had been forced to marry, while Xiao Yun thought he had forgotten her, so they agreed to divorce in the future.

As they spent their days together after the wedding, the two gradually developed an understanding and feelings for each other. But a misunderstanding shattered their relationship: Xiao Yun mistook Fu Ertai’s childhood friend for the woman he loved. It was not until Xiao Yun’s father returned victorious and revealed her true identity in front of everyone that Fu Ertai realized the “Yun’er” he had never stopped longing for was the very wife he was about to divorce.

Fu Ertai waited for her at home until late at night. The first thing he said was, “Yun’er…”

Xiao Yanzi cut him off. “My name is Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yun was who I was ten years ago.”

Fu Ertai’s eyes reddened. “I’ve been looking for you for ten years.”

Xiao Yanzi smiled. “You’ve been married to me all this time, and you never recognized me.”

Xiao Yanzi looked at his profile and suddenly said, “Actually, I wanted to marry you when I was eight.”

Fu Ertai looked up. “Then do you still… want to now?”

Xiao Yanzi turned her face away. “It’s too late.”

Fu Ertai said softly, “I know. But I can wait, just as I waited for you for ten years.”
