Her family was ruined and she was forced to become a child bride. She thought she would live a miserable life, but unexpectedly, a young man from a poor family doted on her and became his favorite!
After three years of sleeping, Su Wanhe woke up, only to be greeted by the destruction of her family. My grandfather, father and brother were killed in a shipwreck, and all the land and house at home were sold off, leaving them helpless.
In desperation, her grandmother sent her to the Shen family as a child bride.
She had long been prepared to face the loess and work hard, thinking that she would only live a miserable life in the future. But when she stepped into that poor courtyard, she was held in the hand of a lonely young man.
The young Shen Yanci's parents died young, and he was alone. He had a cold and taciturn temperament, but he had a lot of things hidden in his heart. He studied hard and hoped to be born in the imperial examination.
While Su Wanhe was in charge of the household affairs, using his cooking skills to make delicious meals from coarse grains, and keeping the courtyard in order, he also met a reclusive master by chance and learned the art of physical defense.
Year after year, she accompanied Shen Yanci through the long road of imperial examination, which was full of difficulties and dangers, and experienced the turmoil in the court and the treacherous world.
I watched with my own eyes as he rose step by step from a poor man in civilian clothes to dominate the government and the public.
High-ranking officials and dignitaries came to woo him one after another. The temptations of wealth and splendor were constant, and some even forced him to marry another noble girl.
But Su Wanhe and Shen Yanci were always sober and self-aware, not greedy for power or glory.
Through ups and downs and adversity, the two of them tried their best to protect each other and keep their hard-won sincerity together year after year.
