Entrusting My Wife

Shen Ai had always lived freely and done as she pleased. If she wanted to cry, she cried. If she wanted to laugh, she laughed. If she wanted something, she made sure to get it.

She wanted to go to Shuozhou. Her fiance, Yan Zizheng, was worried but didn’t dare defy her, so he wrote to his close friend Zhong Yue, the son of the Hedong Military Governor, asking him to escort Shen Ai along the way.

When Shen Ai heard, she tilted her head and thought for a long while before finally dredging up the memory of someone by that name: He was good-looking, but had a nasty temper.

Zhong Yue regarded Yan Zizheng as his lifelong friend, as close as a brother, someone he would trust with his life. But he couldn’t stand Yan Zizheng’s fiancee, Shen Ai.

She was the most spoiled and shameless girl he had ever seen. At the slightest trouble, she burst into tears, and when she was happy, she let herself run wild without restraint.

What was so great about a woman like that?

Only Yan Zizheng would treasure her like a pearl!

Later, at Yan Zizheng’s request, he went to meet Shen Ai and escort her along the way. She was exactly as he’d expected: a little ancestor who made trouble and threw tantrums, her every emotion overflowing from her like a spring stream in flood.

As Zhong Yue waited on her, it gradually became a habit. If he went a day without doing it, he felt uncomfortable all over. A shocking thought began to take root in his heart: Since she wasn’t married yet, why couldn’t he be the one?

He personally handed the broken-engagement letter to Yan Zizheng.

He knew Yan Zizheng wanted him dead. But then, didn’t he feel the same way? After all, as long as Yan Zizheng was alive, Zhong Yue would have to keep his head down and remain a secret lover, with no name or status.
