Chu Ning sat in prison, covered in wounds and blood, holding a letter of divorce.
He was waiting for the emperor's decree sentencing him for treason.
His life had been absurd and laughable. A prodigy who rose to fame in his youth, he had wielded a silver spear to defeat the tribes of the northern frontier and earned the title of God of War. In the end, he was falsely accused of treason and selling out his country.
Yet the first thing he received was not an imperial decree of punishment, but a letter from the Xu family severing ties with him.
His husband, Xu Chengxuan, had refused to share his bed for three years because of his beloved. The Xu family coveted the Chu family's wealth, finding fault with him at every turn and trying to drive him out.
Even as he lay dying, no one came to see him.
But he never expected that
On that pitch-black, despairing night, Xie Heng, a powerful court official, stood before him in black, looking down at him.
“I can clear your name.”
“Just marry me.”
*
Xu Chengxuan thought Chu Ning would be heartbroken and unable to eat or sleep after leaving him. He never expected Chu Ning to show up the very next day to demand his dowry, nearly bankrupting him.
By the seventh day, Chu Ning was riding in the same carriage as the powerful official Xie Heng.
By the fifteenth day, the son of a high-ranking minister was proposing to him in the street.
Half a year later, he was pregnant and leading troops to rout the northern frontier.
Only at the very end did Xu Chengxuan realize that the beloved he had once met only briefly was the former wife he had divorced.
*
Chu Ning thought he and Xie Heng were only putting on an act, and that Xie Heng would abandon him sooner or later. The one thing he never expected was to accidentally get pregnant. Determined to keep the baby, Chu Ning, who had never once deserted a battlefield, fled in a panic.
But
Ahhh! Why are his ex-husband, his current partner, and a whole crowd of admirers all chasing after him?!
*
In the eyes of others, Xie Heng was proper and dignified, a young prodigy who held immense power at court.
What they didn't know was that he was petty and vindictive. Less than two days after Chu Ning was released from prison, Xie Heng had already filled a thick ledger, noting down everyone who had bullied his precious wife so he could settle the score with each of them.
Xie Heng: I know you bullied my precious Chu Chu. I'll get even with you.
I'll just keep our marriage a secret from you all.
That's right, I'm doing it for fun.
And one more thing
Xie Heng had never failed to obtain anything he set his sights on. That included the beloved moonlight in his heart. Even if he had to use every means at his disposal, even if his hands were drenched in blood and he had to cross a field of thorns and chase him to the ends of the earth
He would keep Chu Ning by his side.
Reader's Guide:
1. A scheming, vindictive, powerful official, a Qianjun gong, and a gentle, resilient, straight Qunjun shou.
2. The shou never shared a bed with his ex-husband. The ex-husband is impotent.
3. Historical ABO setting, with the author's personal rules: Qianjun are Alphas, Qunjun are Omegas, and they can have children.
4. Marriage first, love later. Sweet, indulgent fluff, with a pregnancy escape.
Theme: Pursue your ideals and persevere
Suddenly it occurred to me, where is the mark? I have such a big mark.
Xie Heng is so good at playing, so it's hard for Chu Chu╰(*?`*)╯
Happy birthday~
You two should be at the flower market
I feel like the emperor is so tired. Xiao Xie is still young. You need to take care of your dragon body.
As soon as we arrived, we competed with the child for milk. Xie Heng was born in the wrong place. I suggested that he and Chu Chu move to Haitang Doge.
I wish the author could turn into a typewriter
When will you open the next book?
The ending is so beautiful!!!
It feels so immersive. We are a perfect match hahaha
Hehehehehe, it's really good. I want to see the process of King Xie Heng not going to court early, hehehehe
