In order to avoid being exterminated, Yi Zhu found a down-and-out scholar who came from out of town and failed to find a bride to pretend to be a couple.
The two huddled in a small room and depended on each other. Yi Zhu gave out money to support him in continuing his studies and asked him to pay her back ten times after he got the honors.
Two years later, he passed the exam and took her to the capital.
They were no longer trapped in that cramped room, and his world became vast.
He gave her more money than he promised, and the two of them no longer had to count the days until the rice grains passed, or worry about the rain collapsing the earthen wall, and they could live a life of luxury and fine food that they had never dared to imagine before.
Slowly, the number of meetings became less and less, and the quarrels became more and more frequent.
Yi Zhu sadly found that they seemed to have changed.
She even felt a little strange to herself.
It was a fake marriage in the first place, so maybe it shouldn't have become real.
She doesn't like her current life, nor does she like herself now. She wants to go back with ten times the money.
Conception:.
