Her husband passed the imperial examinations, rising from an obscure scholar in the countryside to a high-ranking official serving the emperor.
But after the initial joy had passed, Zhou Yunsui gradually grew weary of being despised and rejected by her husband's family. They called her a barren hen and expected her to wait on them hand and foot. While they lived like immortals, she grew ever more haggard, no longer the most beautiful flower in Nanyang.
She packed her bags, said goodbye to her husband, who was intent on finding himself a noblewoman, and leisurely ran off with her daughter.
At first, Lu Jiashi only knocked on the door of the new family in town to earn some money. The distinguished head of the academy humbly took a position as tutor to a six-year-old girl.
Later, though, he felt that fate had destined him to climb into Zhou Yunsui's bed, bow down to her, and willingly become that student's father!
# Zhou An'an (weeping noodles): Have you ever considered how emotionally devastating it is for someone as young, pitiful, and innocent as me to have to eat dog food every day?
# Truly, once a teacher, forever a father #
A heart betrayed, at last free to be wanton * Pure, devoted, thoughtful, and deeply loving
