Three years into her widowhood, Bai Yange was attacked at a temple and spent one wild night with a man.
After that night, she suddenly felt there was no point in remaining a widow and began planning to return to her family and remarry.
Before she could leave, her late husband's younger brother, who had spent years away from home, returned.
At their first meeting, he looked down on her.
Not long after, she discovered she might be pregnant.
If the scandal of a widow's pregnancy came to light, her good days would be over.
Just then, her mother-in-law wanted Lu Jingshen to continue the main family line on behalf of the elder branch, producing an heir for her late husband.
Bai Yange figured that having her second brother-in-law play the part of the convenient father might not be a bad idea.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times she threw herself at him and tried to tempt him, her second brother-in-law remained unmoved. Word was, he already had someone he loved.
Fine. If this path was blocked, she'd take another.
She'd stop being a widow, run back to her family, and find another man to take responsibility for the child.
By then, Bai Yange had returned to her family and married a new husband.
But that second brother-in-law came chasing after her, standing outside her courtyard wall day after day.
Lu Jingshen had been framed and spent a wild night at a temple, but because he'd been poisoned, he couldn't remember what the woman looked like.
He had also been in disguise at the time.
When he returned to the old family home and saw his widowed sister-in-law, he fell for her all over again.
He was a prince living in exile, concealing his identity with his great ambitions still unfulfilled. How could he indulge in romance?
When his mother decided he should continue the main family line on behalf of the elder branch, he firmly refused.
Even when his sister-in-law gave him an opening, he held back again and again.
But his sister-in-law didn't want to hold back. She ran away to her family.
When he finally rode at full speed to catch up with her, she was standing with her belly round,
watching the moon in the courtyard with her newlywed husband, smiling and chatting happily.
He stood outside the wall and listened all night.
