Cui Lingyi fell into his wife's dream and watched helplessly as she passionately embraced a young gentleman. He hated that man with all his heart, and was relieved it was only a dream. Until the day he finally saw the man's face clearly.
Full blurb
On their wedding night, before Cui Lingyi had even finished the wedding rites, he lifted the bed curtains and got up. "Madam Liu, from now on, let us each behave ourselves. Don't expect any affection between husband and wife."
Liu Yunshang stopped in the middle of loosening her sash and said nothing.
Cui Lingyi had never wanted to marry her in the first place. Seeing her so meek and obedient only made her seem even more dull and boring.
That is, until one night when he accidentally entered her dream.
There were no rules and no restraints in the dream. His wife wore a loose, thin robe and leaned against a carved couch, a faint blush at the corners of her eyes. She hooked a finger into the sash of the man before her, her voice soft and sweet. "Husband."
Then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
The proper and restrained she was in real life, the more vivid she became in her dreams. Every smile and frown was a blaze of dazzling springtime.
Cui Lingyi was furious night after night. He summoned the Imperial Preceptor, set up arrays, and even resorted to forbidden arts, yet he still could not make out the young gentleman's face.
Liu Yunshang also thought it was nothing more than a fleeting dream.
Later, she followed her husband to the capital to seek refuge with the Cui family patriarch.
At a family banquet, amid the clinking of cups and lively conversation, a figure entered with measured steps.
As if drawn by some unseen force, Liu Yunshang looked up. The man's features were clear and handsome, his manner cool, dignified, and noble.
He happened to look over too. Across the splendor of the banquet hall, their eyes suddenly met.
Her face turned deathly pale, then flushed red.
He was the man she had embraced night after night in her dreams: Cui Mingxuan, the Cui family patriarch and Chief Grand Secretary.
A flicker of bewilderment crossed Cui Mingxuan's eyes, then a blazing light suddenly ignited within them.
Cui Lingyi took it all in.
That night, back at home, he pinned her beside the bed. "Liu Yunshang, I am your husband. He's not someone you can set your sights on."
Liu Yunshang suddenly smiled. "Do you know that he would ask whether I wanted it first?"
Cui Lingyi froze.
Later, a letter of separation was placed on his desk.
"I cannot share my husband with another woman."
