His family was shattered, and only his mother and his new sister-in-law remained to help him hold the Wei family together. His mother said his new sister-in-law had it hard. Her husband had died just after their wedding. Once he became successful, he had to find her a good match. Back then, he said, “All right.” When Wei Yun was twenty, Gu Chusheng, Minister of Rites, came to ask for Chu Yu’s hand in marriage. Wei Yun went to the Gu family’s residence with a knife in hand. He said, “Now that you’ve entered the Wei family, you’ll belong to the Wei family for the rest of your life.” Gu Chusheng sneered. “Your brother is dead. Whose woman is she?” Wei Yun gripped his knife and replied, word by word, “Mine. Wei Yun’s.” [Chu Yu’s version] In her previous life, Chu Yu did everything for Gu Chusheng. She fled an imperial marriage and traveled a thousand li, but in the end, she still died of illness in a foreign land. Reborn at fifteen, Chu Yu was in the middle of running away from her wedding. She resolutely turned back and married into the Wei family. She knew the entire Wei family would die in battle, leaving only fourteen-year-old Wei Yun to shoulder the burden of the prominent household alone. She also knew Wei Yun would hold the Wei family together and become the future Prince of Zhenbei, a man with power over the court who had the final say in everything. So she thought: She would stay by Wei Yun’s side through the hardest days, then become the Wei family’s one and only lady of the house. But she never expected that she would truly become the Wei family’s one and only “lady of the house.” Author’s Weibo: Jinjiang Mo Shubai Updates, red-packet events, the author’s daily life, discussions about the story… You can find it all on Weibo… Follow me.

[Next historical romance], Sword Seeking a Thousand Mountains As Hua Xiangwan crossed east to Yunlai, her master told her: “Because your cultivation method is compatible with his, you must lure a Dao Lord from the Heavenly Sword Sect back to the Western Lands to advance quickly. But remember, you can only lure the Passionate Sword cultivators. Do not choose the Heart-Questioning Sword.” “Although Dao Lords who cultivate the Heart-Questioning Sword are powerful, they’re foolish and don’t understand love or hate.” But the first person she saw upon arriving in Yunlai was Xie Changji, a cultivator of the Heart-Questioning Sword. Like a moth to a flame, she knew Xie Changji was untouched by worldly passions, yet still risked her life for him and gave all she had without regret. But even after they became husband and wife, when her meridians were destroyed and she was covered in blood, all he could do was say hoarsely, “I’m sorry.” So she killed herself in front of him to escape, destroying the identity of “Wanwan” and becoming once more the carefree young mistress of the Hehuan Palace. She left Xie Changji alone in the border between life and death, guarding a solitary grave. They parted for two hundred years. Two hundred years later, the Demon Lord of the Western Lands was critically ill, and a power struggle broke out among the Three Palaces. To stabilize the situation and advance her cultivation quickly, Hua Xiangwan had no choice but to return to Yunlai and ask the Heavenly Sword Sect for a marriage alliance. Everyone said Hua Xiangwan was clutching at straws. The Heavenly Sword Sect would never let her take a Dao Lord who was too powerful back to the Western Lands, and her half-ruined golden core wouldn’t let her improve her cultivation much anyway. But on the day of the wedding, everyone received the news: Xie Changji, Yunlai’s strongest fighter, had emerged from the border between life and death, broken through his heart’s fetters to change his path, cultivated the Passionate Sword, and taken up residence in the Hehuan Palace! As soon as the news spread, the enemy forces surrounding the Hehuan Palace hurriedly retreated, Hua Xiangwan’s former lovers fled in every direction, and even Hua Xiangwan herself carried her mount and ran off on her wedding night.
