The Moon in My Arms

[Broken Mirror, Not Made Whole]

Everyone in the capital envied the eldest daughter of the Xu family for marrying into such a good family. Her husband was not only handsome and powerful, but also doted on by countless people, and he never took a concubine.

Xu Yanyue thought she lived in a world of sweetness, until she discovered at last that the sweetness was laced with poison.

Her husband had eyes only for someone else. He served that person faithfully and cleared every obstacle from their path. In the end, even his own child became a nameless soul, a witness to his love.

From then on, she smiled even more sweetly and spoke even more gently, all so she could deliver the final blow after Shao Huai had lost everything.

But when the sword pierced his chest, the man ignored his bleeding wound and the subordinates urging him to leave. He stubbornly clutched the hem of her clothes and begged in a low voice, “Yue'er, don't leave me.”

Shao Huai's greatest regret in this life was realizing too late that he loved Xu Yanyue. He cherished her and doted on her with all his heart, but he could not make amends for the mistakes he had made.

His final sight was the woman leaving him to die, walking away without looking back.

When they met again, she stood beside a refined and elegant man, smiling radiantly. Everyone praised them as a perfect couple, while Shao Huai lowered his head, eyes red.

The seventh young miss of the Lin family, Lin Jiao, divorced Lu Siming. Everyone in the capital said she deserved it. Even a good-natured man like Lu Siming couldn't take it anymore. That young lady really did have a terrible personality.

They heard that the seventh miss had returned to the Lin residence and spent her days in tears, unable to eat or drink. Everyone waited for her to go crying back to beg Young Master Lu. Instead, she was whisked away in a grand wedding by Pei Jing, the capital's newest rising star. Everyone was dumbfounded.

In his previous life, Pei Jing lost the use of his legs at the height of his success and became a cripple abandoned by the Pei family. When he was at his lowest, Lin Jiao married him.

That delicate young lady would cry for ages over a scrape, yet took a beating just to steal him a bite of food. She said she never wore rough cloth, yet traded her fine clothes to buy him medicine. Even as she died in his arms, she complained miserably, “It hurts so much.”

After her body had gone cold, Pei Jing went mad. He smashed his useless legs until they were a bloody pulp, then held her as he sank into the lake with her.

When he awoke again, he had not lost his legs on the battlefield. Instead, he had won repeated honors and risen through the ranks. But his girl had married someone else.

If I get another chance, I will give you all the love this world has to offer.
