Six months after their wedding, Yan Youyou went to the front lines at her mother-in-law's request to visit her husband. But she had an accident on the way and was left gravely injured and unconscious.
When she woke, she found that a man had saved her. He was exceptionally handsome, refined and noble, with the bearing of an immortal beneath the heavens and the grace of one in a painting.
He stayed in the thatched cottage to care for her, giving her food and water and washing and changing her clothes. He never showed the slightest disgust or impatience.
He often coaxed her to marry him, promising they would work at sunrise and rest at sunset, living as an ordinary, carefree country couple.
But how could Yan Youyou agree? She already had a husband, as well as family and loved ones. So once she had recovered, she asked to leave.
What she never expected was that when she returned to the capital, everyone thought she had died, and her husband had already taken a new wife.
Just as she was feeling hurt and disappointed, the man coaxed her again: "What use is a faithless, heartless man like that? Take this chance to divorce him and marry me. I swear I'll never let you down, not until the day I die."
Yan Youyou had heard this so often that she was nearly sick of it. "Don't go making reckless vows. If you can't keep them, you'll be struck by lightning."
The man gazed at her with deep eyes and smiled leisurely, peerless in his elegance. "I knew you liked me. You can't bear to see me die."
Yan Youyou: "..."
After her divorce, Yan Youyou continued to live in a residence beside Shuanghu Lake.
It was the dead of winter, and snow filled the sky. Yan Youyou received word from home that Teng Ji, a rising star at court, had come to propose.
That very night, he came through the snow, his shoulders covered in white. As soon as he entered, he said he was cold and insisted on holding her hand to warm himself.
Beneath the dim candlelight, Yan Youyou ventured, "Someone proposed to me today. Father thinks highly of him and wants me to marry him."
Hearing this, Teng Ji smiled faintly and asked, "What about you? Do you want to marry him?"
Yan Youyou looked at his teasing eyes. Suddenly feeling a little downcast, she lowered her gaze and pressed her lips together without a word.
"Why have you gone quiet?"
As he spoke, Teng Ji's smiling lips drew close to hers. "If you don't say something soon, I'll kiss you."
[May our love endure like dew upon the grass]
In the spring of the tenth year of the Mingli era, Jiang Wan was in Qixian when she fell into a man's arms and became his lover for two months.
He was refined, gentle, and handsome. He didn't mind that she couldn't cook well or sew neatly. Instead, he taught her to play the zither and paint, giving her intoxicating tenderness and joy.
Sometimes she thought that he was so wonderful, it would be nice to be his woman for the rest of her life.
But she couldn't.
Two months later, after getting what she wanted, she left him a letter of farewell and vanished without a trace.
-
In the spring of the tenth year of the Mingli era, Prince Jin Yan Huai was temporarily staying in Qixian to find a tutor for the young emperor.
On a rainy spring night, Jiang Wan stumbled into his home. Her slender, pale fingers clutched a thin garment that barely covered her shoulders as she wept and begged him to save her.
He thought he couldn't just watch her die, so he saved her and let her stay.
In early May, he had to leave for two days. He planned to take her back to the capital once his business was settled.
But when he returned, she was gone, leaving behind only a letter of farewell.
She wrote that she was going to live with relatives and marry as a proper wife.
She said their two months of fleeting intimacy were her way of repaying him for saving her.
She also said she hoped all would go well for him, and that if they met again, they should be strangers.
At that moment, the merciless letter crumbled to pieces in his hands.
-
He saw her again amid the heavy snow of deepest winter.
She was walking down the main street beside a man who had his arm around her shoulders. The hands he had never managed to teach to play the zither were now resting on her swollen belly.
On the face he had yearned for so long was a smile of pure happiness.
Jealousy made his eyes redden in an instant.
Theme: Live brilliantly in this wonderful world
This ex-husband is really ridiculous. He was set up, and it was also set up by others. You don't want to pick up your wife? You knew clearly that there was a war going on at the border, but you still let her come all the way, and you didn't look for it carefully when something happened. You were only thinking about your career. Others planned your marriage, but did they force you into the bridal chamber? Forcing you not to keep filial piety to your wife, forcing you not to find out her whereabouts? After marriage, do you still want to have the blessing of having two high-status wives?
Why are you abusing the male protagonist? Abuse the second male!!
Hey~ As expected of a younger brother, he is so coquettish and shameless! Still a crossdresser~
Even though Minghua is the county head, she has been disciplined to have low self-esteem. She said that the heroine was lucky enough to marry the prince's cousin for the second time, but she did not mention that Qi Ting's second marriage was to the county head who was granted a marriage by the emperor and the eldest princess's granddaughter. Even though it was the male lead who was in charge, the second male lead still got an advantage and still resented the male lead and the male lead. As a person like the second male lead, he knew in his heart that he was not merciful to the female lead. However, Yi insisted on slandering the heroine when she failed to do so. If the heroine was not determined and the hero was powerful, Qi Ting would have dug her into the trap no matter whether the heroine wanted to remarry or not. It was said that the war was over and the imperial power was about to change. If he was still dishonest, the new emperor would take action. How could a man give up the status, fame and fortune he had obtained?
It's so sweet, it's so sweet, I love this cookie so much, it doesn't have so many relationships and a lengthy plot, I love it so much
My brother is so fierce~I want to see all kinds of gardens, corridors, study rooms, mountains, cruise ships, etc., Kissing, hugging and lifting him up! I can still read a hundred chapters! (Really a hundred chapters)
Hurry up and get them under the covers
Www I like Teng Teng so much?*??(ˊ?ˋ*)??*? What a charming personality!
Haha, who's lips haven't dropped yet?
What!? My dear Da Da! I will never allow you to talk nonsense like this. Where is the hot spring? What about the top of the mountain? What about the cruise ship? I'm still waiting for Yingying and Xiaoyu's sister in women's clothing! Why are you tugging at my heart like this? I'm sick, and I just need your thirty-chapter update to feel better! (Ugh, I'm really sick. Kidney stones made me understand what it means to be afraid of death. It hurt so deep in my heart that I couldn't even express it. I was in pain all night and couldn't go to the hospital.)
