[Original Heroine Ye Sheng x Obsessive, Resentful Husband Lu Zhuo | Defying Fate]
After transmigrating, I meet Lu Zhuo. I think it's ancient times, only to discover it's a xianxia world, and that I'm forcibly bound to Ye Bingshang's fate.
Ye Bingshang: a mortal among immortals and mortals, a concubine-born daughter among legitimate and illegitimate children, and a woman among men.
In the book, she's made into a human pig; in the drama, she dies after drinking a bowl of poisoned porridge. No matter what, her ending is tragic.
I don't want that fate.
My name is Ye Sheng.
Life, survival, living.
I want to live well.
Rescued after an ambush goes wrong, Lu Zhuo watches her warily. "This woman's origins are unknown. We must observe her carefully."
They marry to bring him good fortune, and he wakes from his coma. Learning of her difficult circumstances, he begins to waver, only to nearly fall into her trap.
Lu Zhuo grows wary again. "She's cunning and deep. I mustn't get close to her."
Though he stays on his guard, he still falls for her step by step.
Until the truth comes out: all the love and resentment she spoke of were lies.
Lu Zhuo's eyes redden with resentment. "You approached me and used me. You never loved me."
He lays aside all his pride and begs her to make peace. "My wife, turn around and look at me."
P.S. This is unfriendly toward Tantai Jin and Ye Xiwu, but only toward the fictional characters, not the actors.
