Su Jin only learns after marrying into the Liu family just how much Liu Zhiyuan despises her.

Because of her, he had to turn his back on the white moonlight he'd cherished for years.

During their three years of marriage, Su Jin is dutiful to her parents-in-law, works hard, and manages the sprawling Liu household. Liu Zhiyuan doesn't even touch the tip of her finger.

Three years later, Liu Zhiyuan passes the palace examination and returns home in glory. The first thing he does is divorce her and marry his white moonlight.

"Since you've looked after my parents for years, and your family has no one to rely on, I should at least leave you some dignity. Ask for a divorce yourself."

But why would the Su family have no one to rely on?

Bai Yan taps his fingers against the edge of the table. His fourth brother died young, and Bai Yan promised him he would look after Su Jin. He thought she'd married well. When he returned from a victorious campaign, he traveled a thousand miles to see her, only to end up having to stand up for her.

The more Bai Yan thinks about it, the angrier he gets.

The Marquis of Pingyang is famous in the capital for taking his loved ones' side. He flips the table. "If you're divorcing her, hurry up. This marquis is waiting to marry her!"

Later, in troubled times, the Marquis of Pingyang, commanding a mighty army, climbs to the most honored position in the world with his sword in hand.

Su Jin becomes the most honored woman in the realm.

He holds her in the palm of his hand and gives her days of spring sunshine.

I would offer you the colors of youth and place spring in your palm.

Warning: The male and female leads knew each other before, but the heroine doesn't recognize the hero. The hero wants her to have no choice but to marry him, so he resorts to extreme measures.

Things to know before reading:

1. The male lead isn't perfect. He's a complicated, flesh-and-blood person who can be unreasonable and is a chauvinist. The heroine is his white moonlight.

2. The author works hard and hopes you'll add her to your favorites.

3. The setting is very loosely based on history, with no research. No personal attacks, please. If you drop the story, there's no need to tell me. May good people have peaceful lives~

4. The leads aren't related by blood. Their relationship progresses quickly, but the author thinks it makes sense.

5. To those concerned about certain warnings: please don't make assumptions without reading the whole story. Thank you.

Blurb 1:

Before the new emperor ascends the throne, he shows no interest in women. His ministers worry about the continuation of the imperial line.

Later, the new emperor is attacked during the ceremony to worship heaven. After waking from a two-month coma, he suddenly orders that Chu Luo, an overlooked concubine-born daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an, be brought to the palace to attend him.

Only when this daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an enters the palace do the ministers understand: it isn't that His Majesty was slow to fall in love. His standards were simply too high. Compared to her, none of the other noble ladies could catch his eye...

But the eunuch attending the emperor remembers that on the day Chu Luo entered the palace, before she'd even lifted her veil, His Majesty told her to close her eyes, then happily wrote the words "His Majesty's darling" on her forehead.

Blurb 2:

Chu Luo has had skin like ice and jade and a striking beauty since childhood, which makes her deeply unpopular with her grandmother, who values respectable birth and dignified looks.

Chu Luo is always careful and proper, never competing or fighting for anything. She wants to make a good impression on her grandmother and secure a good marriage in the future. But as she grows older, no amount of caution, modesty, or proper behavior can hide her increasingly radiant and alluring face...

One day, Chu Luo has just lost her beloved pony and cried her eyes swollen when an imperial decree summons her to the palace. Seeing the young, handsome new emperor sitting in the hall, his face stern and imposing, Chu Luo doesn't dare raise her head. She's afraid her looks will displease him.

The new emperor doesn't look at her. In a cool voice, he says, "Come here."

On the night she attends him, Chu Luo is soaked with sweat and utterly exhausted, sprawled on the dragon bed. Emperor Wen bites the base of her ear. "From now on, I'll be good to only you!"

Chu Luo: Okay~

The old madam and the women of the marquis's household all think Chu Luo is too flirtatious, suited to being a favored concubine, but that relying on beauty to please a man can't last. No matter how intense the emperor's favor, surely he'll tire of her eventually. But they wait and wait, until Chu Luo becomes the only woman in the emperor's harem, and then until the new emperor makes her empress...

Silly version of the blurb:

Not long after Emperor Wen ascends the throne, he's attacked while worshipping heaven and falls off a cliff. He thinks he's dead, but when he opens his eyes, he finds he's still "alive"! Only now he's living inside a little pony, the horse of Chu Luo, a concubine-born daughter of the Marquis of Jian'an!

Even worse, his owner is having a rough time, so the horse gets bullied too! Emperor Wen is furious. Even if I'm a horse, I'm still the heavenly steed of destiny. Chu Luo, could you try a little harder?

Chu Luo bites her lip. "I must be possessed. My pony died the day before yesterday, and before it died, it used its hooves to write that I should marry it..."

Emperor Wen: "Damn it, you're the one who's possessed me!"
