(The rating has only just come in, and it’ll go up later) [Beautiful, delicate young widow X restrained, proper Duke of Jun]
Luo Lingyu was breathtakingly beautiful. Orphaned young, she went to live with her aunt and uncle at the age of ten.
At sixteen, she married into the third branch of the Pei family, the foremost aristocratic clan.
At twenty, she died at the Pei family’s old residence in Qingzhou.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back three years earlier. Just as she was planning to escape this cage, her mother-in-law demanded that she provide an heir for the third branch.
This time, she had nowhere to run. In the end, she agreed.
*
The male lead’s perspective: The Pei family’s main branch had few heirs. Pei Xianli was the head of the century-old clan, the Grand Preceptor to the Emperor, and a first-rank Duke of Jun.
Though he was in his thirties, he had no children. To continue the family line for both branches, he reluctantly agreed after the Old Madam’s repeated lectures.
No one knew that the Pei Duke had long been plotting to win over his younger brother’s widowed wife.
In countless nights that followed, Luo Lingyu would bitterly regret ever provoking him.
The heroine is not a virgin, but the hero is. His frail first wife died young, and they never consummated their marriage!
The male supporting character is still alive!
This is super good! I can't wait to see what happens after the female lead's husband comes back—a real drama unfolds! Will this book be a 1v2 story? Looking forward to it! [You see][Staring]
I clicked in by chance, but I ended up completely engrossed and kept asking for more updates. The author's writing is delicate, meticulously portraying the ambiguous, almost indifferent, feelings between the two characters. It's a great read, I love it. Currently, some plot points have been omitted, but the main storyline is quite clear, making it something to look forward to.
I really like the male lead. His ruthless methods, self-control, discipline, and dignified personality are all perfectly suited to being manipulated by the female lead, even though she doesn't yet know she can influence the head of a family. It's just that it's a serialized book 😢 One or two chapters a day is so frustrating!
So good!!! I can't get enough of it! I'm really looking forward to more updates from the author, hehe!
From the very first page, I thought the writing was quite good—a slow-paced, flowing ancient romance. The story is quite interesting: one is a powerful, widower who doesn't understand love, and the other is a gentle, delicate, yet resilient widow who makes you want to protect her. Watching how the relationship between the male and female leads develop step by step is quite engaging.
It's really good! I can't wait for the second male lead's return and the ensuing chaos! Haha.
I especially loved the author's portrayal of the characters' inner states: the helplessness of a widow clinging to her chastity, the constraints of a noble family's ancestral line, and the restrained yet surging love of adults—all unfolded layer by layer with remarkable realism.
The author's writing is excellent, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it a worthwhile read.
This story has a really novel premise, it's a pity. It's not your fault, author, you need to cheer up!!! The person who reported you was just jealous!!! The rating is pretty good for such a short time; the later parts of the story are really interesting!
This book, *Encounter*, is so good! It's just that it's been published too early! It's only just begun! It's really good! The writing is very mature, and the characters are very likable. I've read almost all of the author's books, and the male and female leads in this one are the most popular. I'm just here to boost the ratings, and I really hope the author won't abandon this one!
