(Warning: this story has a pocket dimension.)
A muscular figure raced through the mountains like a leopard, where he came across a pitiful, filthy little girl.
The moment he saw her bright, clear eyes, she found her way into his heart.
Ahem, he did happen to need a wife.
Heh, the man was attracted by her looks... no, it was love at first sight.
Meanwhile, the little girl, lying on the ground and barely clinging to life, begged for help through her tears. "Mister, please, save... save me..."
Oh, Mama, what kind of life was this? She had been born into this world, sold at the age of six, then endured eleven years of hardship in her master's household, always careful and diligent, before finally finding a chance to buy her freedom.
Surviving in ancient times was just too hard.
After a grueling month-long journey home, she encountered bandits. In her panic, she fled into the mountains and lost her way.
At death's door, she met a man and thought he was her salvation.
A little over a month after their wedding, the man left for military service.
Six months later, news came that he had died.
Three years after that, the man returned victorious.
For more than three years, she struggled to keep the whole family afloat.
Everyone thought her hardships had finally paid off, but the man remembered every member of his family except her.
She was exhausted, and fed up.
In low spirits, she began to think about leaving. After their divorce, she wanted nothing more than to live a good life, but the man started pursuing her again.
And he wasn't the only one who wanted to pursue her.
Where would she go from here...?
