The Mu family was an illustrious clan, renowned throughout Jinling. When Xu Xianchun married Mu Rongxiu, everyone said she was beneath him.
Four years into the marriage, she still had no children. Her husband grew to despise her, and her in-laws mocked her. In the entire Mu family, only her younger brother-in-law, Mu Rongjing, occasionally spoke up in her defense.
For years, Xu Xianchun had trodden carefully in the Mu household, enduring one humiliation after another. Then Mu Rongxiu secretly took a mistress, and even her mother-in-law defended her son and blamed her. The usually gentle and virtuous Xu Xianchun finally couldn't take it anymore.
That night, with the stars and moon hanging low and frost biting the air, she walked barefoot into Mu Rongjing's study. Her tear-reddened eyes held a trace of pleading.
The man in fine robes sat at his desk, his expression cool and his gaze dark. The hand holding his book, with its long, distinct knuckles, gripped it with restrained force.
“Sister-in-law, you've come to the wrong place.”
Xu Xianchun clutched her skirt, overwhelmed with shame. In the end, she turned and left, her eyes red.
Books scattered across the desk. She was pulled into a broad, warm embrace.
A hoarse, low voice sounded beside her ear: “I've changed my mind.”
“Since you've come, stay.”

The Mu family's second young master, Mu Rongjing, was as bright and refined as the moon, gentle as jade, well-versed in the classics, and gifted with the ability to govern the world.
Only the new bride his elder brother had just brought home became a tormenting dream that kept him awake at night.
Her willow waist and hibiscus face, her melodious voice, calling his name again and again beneath the red canopy.
But when he awoke, she stood quietly beside Mu Rongxiu, beautiful as snow and gentle as water.
He watched with indifference, waiting for her to grow weary of the cold treatment and humiliation, and beg him for help.
At last, she came to him in the dead of night, her beautiful eyes full of alarm and longing.
She asked whether he could give her a child.
The book in Mu Rongjing's hands crumpled. His heart was thrown into utter chaos.
Reader's guide:
. The leads do not get intimate early on. Their romance begins after they are no longer bound by the relationship between sister-in-law and brother-in-law [highlighted]
. The female lead is not a virgin; the male lead is younger
. An ancient setting. Neither lead is perfect, and their growth and change take time
. The female lead is healthy; Mu Rongxiu is the one who cannot have children
. Official titles, place names, and so on are all fictional, very fictional
. My writing is limited. If you don't like it, please click away. Personal attacks are not welcome

Coming soon: The Wrong Marriage. Please add it to your favorites~
When Si Ying was seventeen, her stepmother forced her into an engagement and married her off to the seriously ill third young master of the Shen family, hoping the marriage would bring him good fortune.
But when the bridal sedan reached the entrance, before they could even hold the wedding ceremony, bandits struck and the groom vanished.
A helpless young woman, she lived alone in the enormous residence, passing her days in fear and uncertainty.
Then, half a year later, her sickly husband, whom she had never met, returned.
Her husband recovered his health and became refined and elegant, as radiant as moonlight.
He treated her with the utmost tenderness.
Si Ying gradually fell for him and settled into her little life with peace of mind.
Then, another six months later, her parents-in-law returned with a slender young man. He said he was her husband.
Si Ying was dumbfounded.
This was her husband?
Then who was the man inside, who had called her his wife for half a year?

Shen Shiqing was demoted from his official post amid a struggle over succession. Disheartened, he returned to his old family home in Jiangzhou. The moment he stepped inside, a delicate young woman called him her husband.
Still tipsy, he answered her husbandly call as if possessed, and fell into a life of tender comfort.
Just as he realized something was wrong and tried to let go,
his frail, sickly cousin returned, declaring that he wanted to marry Si Ying again.
Shen Shiqing sneered.
How could he hand over the wife he had married and shared a wedding night with?

Inspired by the hot-selling couple edited by Station B, I downloaded Jinjiang for the first time and spent money to read 58 chapters. It was a hot-selling story throughout the whole process, so good! Update too slowly
I actually really like this book, but why is it not updated? I cried.
The author's credibility is so bad.
Hello, author, I like your article very much. I like Xianchun's tenacity and bravery, I like Rongjing's forbearance and affection, and I like their previously taboo and passionate emotions. So I really hope that their story will have a result. No matter it is good or bad, I hope to accompany them to the end. It is very understandable that Dada suffered from illness and the changes in the third dimension, and I sincerely hope that Dada can recover as soon as possible and live a stable life. In fact, as a reader, as far as I am concerned, I can understand the author's suspension of updates due to creative bottlenecks and life changes, whether it is half a month or a month. After reading many readers' comments, it turns out that everyone is actually willing to wait. What everyone is afraid of is that their expectations will be dashed and their waiting will be fruitless. Regardless of whether you ask for leave or have not updated, when the agreed time comes, you must remember to come up and inform them, send a letter, and there is nothing you can do to prevent everyone from worrying. I hope my support can be a great motivation for the author, and I wish you a smooth and safe life.
There is no author with the lowest credibility. I have abandoned the article. Goodbye.
Every day seems to be very long, I really regret it! I shouldn't have watched clips from Station B, I shouldn't have seen Hot Sales, I shouldn't have found Yangliu Yao, they were all hot-selling couples. The sister-in-law of Station B made a mistake and caused me trouble?
I still solved v, but it hasn't been updated yet, alas...
The writing is so-so. I cut it to read because of the popularity of site B. I also spent money to buy the chapters, but I ended up being fed up with the fact that it hasn't been updated...
Silence fell. I never thought that the author's reputation would become so bad. If I don't write, I can get a refund. I just can't bear the money, so I still keep writing, but I don't want to write. If you feel unwell, please refund your money and lock your account first, and come back when you feel better.
Are you still writing this article? I don't want to wait any longer, so I just give up.
