A gloomy, frail young master vs. a sunny, cheerful child bride
The eldest young master of the Song family was born frail. Though devastatingly handsome and exceptionally clever, his very brilliance proved a burden, and his weak health kept him confined to a separate residence.
Madam Zhou chose Jixiang, a healthy girl whose birth chart was a good match for his, to become his child bride and bring him good fortune.
Perhaps Jixiang really did bring good luck. Song Yu’s health improved day by day. He passed the palace examination in third place, and a commandery princess fell in love with him at first sight.
“Your health is good now, Yulang. You don’t need her anymore.”
The princess arrived in a sedan chair and looked down at her from on high.
Jixiang had noticed her young master growing increasingly distant lately, and knew the princess was right. Besides, Song Yu’s health was improving by the day, and at night she was finding him increasingly hard to handle.
She packed her things and prepared to leave, but when she entered her new home, she saw a familiar figure inside.
Song Yu smiled at her as gently as ever.
Jixiang broke out in a cold sweat.
“Jixiang, you’re so disobedient. You’ve been mine for ages, yet you still dare think about running away.”
He walked toward her step by step and drew her into his arms, gentle and tender, just as he had countless times before.
“It’s all right. Your big brother will teach you.”
