With her father's and brother's futures and lives in the hands of General Zhendom, Su Lingde was forced to take the general's daughter's place and marry into the Prince of Weizhou's household as a bride meant to bring him good fortune.
Her family was anxious, the people of her hometown outraged, and the influential nobles of Yingtian City all laughed at her.
Who would have thought that the Prince of Weizhou, once so gifted and favored by the emperor, would end up marrying a little good-luck bride from some backwater place? Tsk, tsk.
Su Lingde herself took it all in stride. Life always finds a way forward.
Even if her husband was bedridden and kept saying he didn't want to live, she could see the light in his eyes, strikingly handsome beneath his pallor.
So there was nothing to be afraid of!
On a night of raging wind and rain, when the Prince of Weizhou was once again at death's door, Su Lingde held his hand. "Drink another half bowl of medicine. Once you're better, I'll take you to see the flowers. The wildflowers in the valley outside Zhiye City bloom toward the sun. They're beautiful!"
Even he, a man the imperial physicians had given up on, struggled through that crisis once more.
When he woke, his first question was, "Are the flowers prettier than you?"
With red-rimmed eyes, Su Lingde answered firmly, "They're prettier than me. I'm not lying. Hurry up and get better."
Later, once the Prince of Weizhou held power, he finally made it to the flower-filled valley outside Zhiye City. There he saw a vast sea of wildflowers growing toward the sun, brilliant as rosy clouds.
"Look, aren't they beautiful? I wasn't lying!" Her lively laughter was just like it had been when she was a girl.
But he shook his head earnestly. "You were lying. Who said they're prettier than you?"

**[Currently serializing: Taking Your Side]**
Jiang Yueyao lost her parents when she was young and was left dependent on her maternal grandparents, the Sun family.
The Sun family believed she was a jinx and drove her and her wet nurse out to remote Tiaoshan Mountain to fend for themselves.
The mountain was desolate and run-down, and life there was miserable.
But then she met a young man in the mountains.
He had no parents, no name, and no surname. He called himself by his birth order: "Eleven."
*
Eleven was wonderful in every way.
He was handsome and skilled at martial arts. He could repair houses, tirelessly gather spices for her, and hunt to make delicious meals for her wet nurse... There was only one thing he lacked: he knew nothing of worldly manners or romance, so he was always doing strange things--
After Eleven lifted her onto a high branch, Jiang Yueyao chided herself softly. Nervously holding his arm, she carefully opened her eyes.
The young man gazed at her with clear eyes. "I saw something today, and I don't quite understand what it's called."
He leaned down and lightly brushed her lips with his, as fleeting as a dragonfly.
A thousand lanterns shone like daylight, and stars fell like rain.
Hidden behind the dazzling display, she blushed in secret.
*
Jiang Yueyao hoped to make a name for herself through perfumery. She wanted to become strong enough to stand up for him and her wet nurse, so they could all live together in peace.
At the time, she had no idea that the martial world was home to Hidden Blade Pavilion, known as the number one assassins' organization.
And Eleven was its sharpest, most ruthless blade.
Theme: Cherish life and live it well.
I finished reading this book in one go. Ling Ling is Ashu's salvation, and Ashu deserves her deep love. Ling Ling was forced to do so at first, but she knew Ashu was a gentle and kind person from the first time she saw Ashu helping her out. Ling Ling's quality of never giving up and never despairing was like the warm winter sun, which illuminated Ashu's rest of his life, giving him care and hope of life, and the two of them lived happily ever after. Maybe Ling Ling is just an ordinary woman whose status is not worth mentioning, but her love for life, her love for her family, her love for her neighbors, ordinary people, and the fireworks of the world make her worthy of being loved. Ashu is smart and tough. Love gives him hope in life, and love gives him the courage to love the world. The trust between them as husband and wife is extremely precious, and their mutual confidence in each other is extremely precious and sincere. Of course, the writing style is not bad, but there are still some small details that have not been highlighted (maybe there is no need to do so, haha). As a romance novel, it is still very interesting. Anyway, I quite like it, hehe.
Why on earth am I still reading this article? Maybe it's because I'm bored. . . Bar
Congratulations on the completion! When I first read the extra, I couldn't figure out the name for a long time hhhh
Hahahahahaha, the prince is really unconventional.
Die, die, take it upon yourself
Then you die hahahahahaha
Finished spreading flowers! So cool! So is the emperor the son of the regent or a subcontractor?
The large text is very beautiful! !
From Queen Qingmei! First of all, I have to say that Mrs. Instant never disappoints anyone. This article is also sweet (crying)
Even if their journey was not smooth, they were successful in the end, and I love them so much!
I don't know why such a beautiful article doesn't get so much attention! ! It has many advantages, but only one disadvantage—it's too short! !
