She thought this was a chance to escape the dark room that had imprisoned her for eighteen years, so she was willing to marry him. She thought her husband liked her sister, and that he would like her too, so she tried to win him over. But all she got was his repeated rejection. She thought he didn’t like her because she wasn’t her sister. But he treated her very well, giving her respect and dignity, but never sharing her bed. Xie Ci was hurriedly summoned home by his mother. He thought she was gravely ill and needed him by her side, but when he returned, he found she wanted him to marry his younger brother’s wife. He was unwilling. It would be a deception and disrespectful to her, but he couldn’t withstand his mother’s threats, so he agreed. After the wedding, he couldn’t touch her. He strictly observed propriety, telling himself she was his younger brother’s wife, someone he could neither touch nor sleep with. But he couldn’t resist the way the young woman sweetly called him “husband” every day. Her voice went straight to his heart. Later, he thought, why should he hold back? She was his wife, his little wife, the one who had worshipped heaven and earth with him, shared nuptial wine, and promised to spend the rest of her life with him. Why shouldn’t he touch her? So he broke his vow, fell in love, and could no longer restrain himself. The two of them naturally ended up together. Later... “Let go of me, you lecher! Let go!” Xie Ci’s eyes reddened as he grabbed her hand and frantically asked, “A Li, you might not recognize me, but how can you not recognize your husband’s kiss?”
