The End
Please support the official version. The official version is the light of the righteous path. This novel is also known as Green Light.
After six years away with no word, her husband Huo Qi suddenly returned, having risen from an unknown soldier to a founding general with a long list of military honors. Jiang Si thought her hardships were finally over, and followed him to the capital with their child.
Only after arriving in the capital did she learn that the general's household already had a Madam General.
Madam General was gentle and virtuous. She had saved Huo Qi's life on the battlefield, and was also the daughter of the current Minister of Revenue. She and the Huo Qi of today were a perfect match.
Jiang Si, on the other hand, came from a humble family, was narrow-minded and unsophisticated, and had been born a farmer's daughter. She simply wasn't worthy of being the mistress of the general's household.
Everyone thought so, even Huo Qi himself.
Until one day, an imperial attendant arrived at the general's residence in the emperor's carriage. In front of Huo Qi, he addressed Jiang Si respectfully:
"His Majesty says the Hanying Hall in the palace has been empty for too long. He asks whether Your Ladyship would like to move in and bring some life to the palace."
Huo Qi's face turned green on the spot.
But there was nothing he could do.
After all, that man was the current emperor.
[What you don't cherish, someone else will]
[It's not that "a woman's worth is defined by a man," it's "if you break up, then break up. The next one will be even sweeter"]
The central idea of this story is the author's favorite kind of bittersweet regret.
Content warnings:
1. The male lead has no prior sexual partners, while the female lead has had one. The male lead graduated top of his class from the School of Proper Conduct for Men.
2. The female lead has a child with her ex-husband. Don't read if that bothers you!
3. There's a little bit of coercive romance, with the emperor taking his subject's wife. Don't read if that bothers you!
4. The male lead is the emperor, but has no harem and no unattainable idealized first love. There's no plotline about him sleeping with women to secure his throne. He simply dotes on the female lead, the kind of devotion that makes her ex-husband regret everything until he spits blood.
5. [Emphasis added] The male lead is not a good person!
6. There's no revenge plot. After the female lead remarries, she lives her own life happily ever after.
Thanks to Lao Jiu for drawing the male lead's character design. Love you, mwah~

[Younger brother steals elder brother's wife + second male lead becomes the male lead + rivalry showdown + fighting over her and taking everything]
Jiang Yanhe had been sensible and well-behaved since childhood, never competing or fighting for anything. In return, her father and brothers favored others, while she was always the one forgotten.
At a lantern festival poetry gathering, she was framed and soaked through with cold water. At her most wretched moment, Pei Rong, the eldest young master of Prince Liang's household, draped a thick cloak over her and came to her rescue.
So when the prince's household sent a marriage contract asking for her hand, Jiang Yanhe gladly accepted.
But after marrying into the family, she learned that Pei Rong already loved someone else. He had married her only because he wanted his new bride to arrive quickly, so he could take his beloved as a concubine and give her unborn child a legitimate status.
Jiang Yanhe thought this was how she would spend the rest of her life, until, six months after the wedding, the second young master, who had been away from home for a long time, returned...
·
The eldest son and daughter-in-law of Prince Liang's household were a loving, harmonious couple who treated each other with courtesy, the very model of marriage in the capital.
Pei Rong had always thought so, too.
His wife was beautiful, virtuous, and gentle, and always put him first.
So he thought that even if he didn't love her, he could still give her the greatest honors and affection.
Even when his wife asked for a divorce, he thought she was simply unable to tolerate his favoritism.
Until one day, he saw Jiang Yanhe run out of his younger brother's bamboo cottage, eyes red and clothes disheveled.
Deep in the bamboo grove, Pei Rong clenched the green bamboo in his palm and snapped it in two.
·
Pei Jian had only ever loved one woman in his life.
That woman was his sister-in-law.
He had never competed with his elder brother before, but for the first time in his life, a mad thought took hold of him.
He would take her for himself and make her his wife.
Even if he had to hide her away.
1. A melodramatic love triangle, female lead has had one partner, male lead has had none.
2. By the time the leads begin to develop feelings for each other, the female lead has already divorced the second male lead.
3. Both the male lead and the second male lead have varying degrees of twisted, obsessive, and possessive tendencies.
4. All the characters have flaws. If you don't like them, please don't flame me.
Theme: Knowing when to cut your losses is a kind of wisdom.
Abolition of the harem and one wife for life are just doing what ordinary people should do. When these words came out, I suddenly woke up. No matter in the past or now, everyone seemed to take the emperor's wives and concubines as a matter of course. It was a terrible erosion of male power.
Some people just can't stand good men, and they don't know why. They always jump out and throw cold water on it by saying that it's unrealistic. Even if there are monogamous couples recorded in history books, some people jump out and say that they may have sex, and they understand everything. I think the world is such a big place and there are all kinds of people. Maybe there really is someone like the male protagonist of the novel, but we just don't know about it.
He is about to die, the cuckold has been welded to his head for so many years, his wife and children have been separated, and his son no longer recognizes him. He is still thinking about Mr. Wang and whether Mr. Wang hates him. This is not true love. It pissed me off.
Burying such a big cuckold story has always made us look forward to the scumbag's regrets after the truth is exposed. The Shura field where he originally faced off with the Wang family. How long the previous story is buried, the subsequent dramatic conflict should be strong. Result??? That's it??? I never expected that this cuckold stalk would be used to witness true love.
Back then, Huo Qi's father threw Jiang Si away time and again, and Huo Qi found her again and again. They fell in love when they were young and depended on each other. They were such good people and had such a good relationship. Why couldn't Huo Qi seriously look for her again? Why had he changed? How could he marry someone else so quickly? Xiao Chi and Jiang Si were so happy in the end, but when I think about the good eldest brother and Si Si back then, although I don't feel pity, I still feel sad.
I really like the male lead and the female lead! I read a lot of stories about male and female protagonists like this. Absolute fan!
In fact, I don't read much novels about the wife type. I just think that the protagonist will be burdened with a lot of things, especially the female protagonist. Some of them can be entangled (for the sake of the male protagonist) until the end, and it is over in just a few chapters, which is tiring to watch. Maybe it was because of the copywriting that I didn't feel so entangled in this article, so I entered it. Except for the male protagonist's crazy attributes that made me a little confused in the middle, I didn't feel tired at all. I have to say that this has a lot to do with the free and easy personality of the female protagonist (I personally think it is more appropriate to give the female protagonist a time-travel identity). I want to talk more about the male protagonist and the male supporting character. I think the character of the supporting actor is very distinct, in some ways more three-dimensional than the male protagonist, and has a certain kind of "reality". After reading too many novels about the "brainless viciousness" of supporting characters, this kind of supporting role makes people feel a bit heavy. The biggest problem with the male supporting role is that the Virgin White Lotus talks more than she does. She is also a bit too face-conscious and a bit stupidly honest. He also has some advantages, he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic (it would be nice if someone else would not rebel). Against the strong aura of the male protagonist, the male supporting actor is indeed a scumbag, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. I thought, if he had been a blacksmith all his life and could not catch the eye of those noble people, maybe he could be a good husband. But then I thought about it again, this man's ability to appreciate tea is too poor. If the village girl next door takes a fancy to him, she probably won't be able to protect his wife and children based on his affectionate and righteous character. At this time, my imagination started to expand. If he wanted to turn over and become the male protagonist, he would probably have to be reborn and pursue his wife in the crematorium, hahaha. Let's talk about the male protagonist. He has undoubtedly graduated from Durban, and his sense of presence has been strengthened towards the end. At the same time, he also has a dark side: such as killing Wang Yuying (the writing is relatively obscure) and killing the male co-star. He was really bad in this regard. He killed Wang just to force Huo to death and make everyone think that Wang committed suicide. In contrast, even though the male protagonist has experienced the hatred of seizing his wife, he is still loyal to the hero, conquering the north, and rescuing the enemy... As for the male protagonist, although it is not written explicitly, it can be analyzed that he has always had murderous intentions towards the male protagonist, the hero. The male is a scumbag to the female protagonist, but this is not a reason to kill him. Therefore, he is really bad for the heroine. However, he deserves all the good things. It was also a family misfortune. The Queen Mother, Xiao Jue, and Wang Yuying lost themselves in the misfortune, but the male protagonist always stuck to his heart and protected the people he loved. The author's last words touched me. I want everyone to know that these male top students in Durban are ordinary people, and everyone can have happiness.
Speechless. He is so fraternal. Even a cuckold can't stop his love for Wang.
Oh my god, the male protagonist is so virtuous. I love him.
He just changed his mind, you bitch man, why am I so angry when I read the novel?
