Meizhu thinks of herself as thrifty and good at running a household, kind to others, and attentive to her husband. And yet somehow, she has become a resentful wife.
Before marriage, she was gentle and well-mannered. After marriage, she became anxious and full of sorrow.
She can only blame herself for having been blind, for failing to judge people clearly and marrying the wrong man.
But to understand how it all began, we have to start at the beginning.
Coming soon: A Girl in Love
#You are the moonlight above my head, and the cinnabar mark in my heart#
In the spring of the tenth year of Xining, Zhang Huaichun first met Zheng Chun.
The rain poured beneath the eaves, and the wind was bitterly cold. A thin layer of frost seemed to cloud the young man's eyes, making him even colder than the early spring wind and rain.
From then on, the boy lived in her home, and in her heart.
Her parents wanted him to marry into their family. She knew he was unwilling, but with nowhere else to go, he had no choice but to agree.
On their wedding night, she asked if he was happy. He lowered his eyes and wrote: "I have married a Zhang girl, and I am happy without regret."
At that moment, the frost in the young man's eyes melted away, replaced by tenderness.
Yet years later, the young man who had shared her life and stood by her through everything still left her.
She put on a bridal gown once more, this time for a political marriage to a country in the Western Regions.
With the imperial edict before her, she dared not disobey. Thus began her journey west to marry into a foreign land.
By candlelight, the man before her was handsome and poised, with features unmistakably like those of the old acquaintance who had once lived next door.
She heard him say, "Elder sister, long time no see."
Coming soon: The Painter's Tale 2
[Blurb 1]
At his first-birthday celebration, he followed the clear, lovely sound of a bell and saw its owner.
He saw her smile, and her laughter was even lovelier than the bell.
So he left all the treasures before him behind and reached out for her instead (this refers to the first-birthday tradition of choosing an object).
Everyone said he had chosen misfortune, a wicked and sinister spirit.
But he always believed he had chosen good fortune, a celestial goddess.
[Blurb 2]
West Lake has famous mountains, but no recluses; ancient temples, but no eminent monks; beauties, but no captivating ladies; flower-viewing days, but no moonlit nights.
Luckily, it still has you.
*The female lead has a split personality. Please beware if that's not your thing~
Theme: The little things of family life are the true flavor of life.
Dear author, I stayed up all night last night to read it [ burst into tears ] Is Jiang Sheng sent by the emperor to deliberately confuse Meizhu? Why was there no news from him in the next four years?
This book is well written, but I really don't like Meizhu's character. It's too coy and entangled. I feel that she has been living in self-entanglement, constant guilt and self-healing her whole life. At the same time, I understand her quite a bit. Although I understand her, I still don't like her. So tired. It can only be said that she and her husband are very compatible. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't know how to do it from beginning to end, and he has always been very tolerant of her and has no temper at all. I see Meizhu's temperament and it makes me lose my temper, haha, so you are such a good gentleman.
I really love this article and have read it several times. The girl's thoughts are very delicately written and the writing style is good. It's a very simple love, but there are so many twists and turns behind it, worrying about gains and losses. It's really great!
This sister is really... Well, willing to fight and suffer
The husband actually has a ten-year-old child. Alas, this bond cannot be severed, because the husband is not a ruthless and unrighteous person. If he were ruthless and unrighteous, Meizhu would not fall in love with him. But this constant affection is a thorn in Meizhu's heart, and I still understand her mood very well. But there is nothing you can do. Who let fate put you in front of Xiao Wan and Zhou Ming? They have been stuck in Meizhu for a long time now. Is it because of their arrival that Mr. Went to Chang'an?
Very true... Good writing
It's over. In retrospect, this novel doesn't have many characters or thrilling plots. It's just a down-and-out young man who mistakenly entered Baishui Township, married a girl from Baishui Township, and began a stumbling married life. It actually wrote more than 300,000 words. I actually finished reading it, and I thought it was quite interesting, haha.
Meizhu's words are all false.
I don't know what to say. Meizhu is always afraid of being abandoned by her husband, but the fact is that her husband is the one who is always abandoned by her. This jealousy is endless. When I saw my husband being jealous, she said that he was being unreasonable. I thought at the time that only the state officials were allowed to set fires and the people were not allowed to light lamps. Ha, I didn't expect that the next sentence was really like this. She has done many such things.
Meizhu feels so frustrated! What does this man mean? Don't say anything to others, just keep people guessing. I felt like I was suffocating. Also, you haven't updated for a long time, come on!
