Old Tales of Xilitun

Neighboring Completed Novel: The Emperor's Man [Book Transmigration]

Twenty years ago, the patriarchs of the Ye and Li families arranged a betrothal for their unborn children.

Twenty years later, the Ye family had become wealthy and influential in Yuzhou City, while the Li family were still farmers in Xilitun.

Li's mother brought the betrothal agreement to the Ye family. Ye Zhien, the adopted son, married into the Li family in place of his older sister, Ye Xiaojia.

He entered the Li household full of resolve and disappointment, only to encounter Li Da, a rough-and-tumble man.

He was poor, unrefined, and uneducated, but the one person who was kind to him without expecting anything in return.

They married in their twenties and spent nearly half a lifetime together. They made it through the hard times, but they were no longer the people they had been at the beginning.

The book says that loving someone means your heart beating and breath catching ten thousand times. It also means lowering your head and sighing ten thousand times.

Many years later, Ye Zhien was left guarding a cold, empty house, longing for the little Li family courtyard in Xilitun.
