Blurb:

Wen Jin was reborn, with no foreknowledge and no idea what would happen in the future.

She only knew that if she didn't marry the treacherous eunuch of the Eastern Depot, she and her mother would die miserably...

So, trembling with fear, she accepted the imperial decree and was carried into the gloomy, terrifying Eastern Depot, spending every day thinking about how to stay alive.

The Chancellor's Little Runaway Wife: Blurb

Left Chancellor Fu Chengyun grew up in a brothel. With his dark disposition, he trampled countless corpses on his way to power, and everyone in the capital avoided him.

Lin Yu married him of her own free will.

While visiting relatives in Jiangnan, she wandered into a brothel and saw him dressed in red like fire, amid a shower of falling blossoms. Though trapped, he could not be robbed of his elegance. She remembered his glance and smile for many years.

After they married, Lin Yu did everything she could to please him, hoping to warm his heart. After all, not every love is returned.

But in the end, her devotion had been misplaced.

One day, she overheard him talking to someone in his study.

"Lin Yu is in love with me. It's only a child. If I ask, she'll agree to raise him."

Only then did she learn that Fu Chengyun had a son, and needed her to make the child legitimate. He had also known about her feelings for him all along.

To Fu Chengyun, her wholehearted love was simply a way to control her. With her feelings trampled like that, Lin Yu's heart died.

After ten months of feigning affection, she made the child legitimate. She honored her feelings for him, and buried their past.

The day she left was rainy. Alone, she hid from the gossip, miserable and soaked, too timid even to cry openly.

Fu Chengyun stood among the crowd, clutching the divorce agreement he'd torn to pieces, staring fixedly at her.

An attendant asked him, "Should I bring Madam an umbrella?"

Fu Chengyun laughed coldly. "Has she asked me for one?"

The calculating Chancellor Fu had finally miscalculated.

Lin Yu didn't ask him for anything. Her departure only drove him to obsession.

I see through the clouds and mist, and know how deeply you love me.

Later, Lin Yu looked at the person standing with an umbrella.

"What are you doing here?"

"Begging you."

Theme: There may be pain, but you'll meet someone who makes it hurt no longer.
