1. After being cast aside, Lin Cha'an resolved to return to the small border town and take up her old line of work again. But an imperial decree arrived, and she became the Second Prince's principal consort. The whole city of Yulin was abuzz with gossip.
Lin Cha'an was beautiful, always the center of attention whenever she attended a banquet. So were the marks she accidentally let show.
Everyone stared intently, making Lin Cha'an feel ill at ease. She hurriedly covered the evidence of the previous night's passion and ran off with a blush, but others mistook it for a humiliating retreat.
It wasn't until someone mocked her to her face, saying that as a woman marrying for the second time she was lowborn, and that even if she schemed her way into becoming a princess consort, she'd still be unloved and beaten, that Lin Cha'an realized they had been laughing at her all along.
Lin Cha'an blinked, tears falling as she leaned on her maid and sank to the ground. She looked tearfully at the Second Prince. “Brother Hengchuan, it's bad enough that she spoke ill of you, but she even shoved me~”
2. Nie Hengchuan wielded military power and had killed countless people. He had originally wanted to marry a woman who would join him in his wicked ways and keep her in the inner quarters. Who could have guessed that a misunderstanding would lead him to marry a delicate beauty who could only sob, grab hold of him, and beg him to “turn over a new leaf”?
He was puzzled, but he did as she asked.
He used his influence for her and stood up for her. His love of killing gradually turned into standing behind her and watching her “throw her weight around.”
Others advised Nie Hengchuan not to dote on his wife too much. His gaze lowered, and he drew his sword. “Would you prefer to lose a hand or your tongue?”
