The blurb for this novel is at the very bottom. Coming next: The Frail, Helpless Blind Girl. Please add it to your collection╭* Yuan Yingti, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an, was born into a noble family, but unfortunately, she's blind. Rumor has it she has the beauty of an immortal, with a face so captivating that she's a rare beauty in this world. One day, a few ruffians in a teahouse make a bet: whoever loses has to go to the Marquis's residence in person and see just how beautiful Yuan Yingti is. At the end of the wager, the ruffian seated at the head of the table loses. His surname is Xie, and his given name is Zhi. He's blessed with a handsome face. Amid everyone's teasing, he honors his bet and sneaks into the Marquis's residence that day, disguised as a stable hand. But on that very day, disaster strikes the Marquis's residence. An imperial edict arrives, bringing ruin to the entire family. Soldiers storm the residence, looting and killing. Xie Zhi hides in the stables and is about to leave when a beauty comes stumbling toward him from afar. The beauty is blind, and truly breathtaking. She stumbles into him and grips his arm tightly. "Are you the stable hand A Nu? Nanny told me to find you. She said you could get me out of here." Xie Zhi lowers his head and looks at the nameplate at his waist. The two characters A Nu are carved into it. Oh, so the stable hand whose clothes he just stole after knocking him unconscious is called A Nu. The beauty trembles with fear, frail and delicate, the sort anyone would pity. Xie Zhi watches her for a moment, then puts her in a carriage and takes her out of the Marquis's residence. An imperial edict leaves Yuan Yingti's family destroyed. She escapes with the stable hand and hides in a small town. The town is picturesque, its hills and waters lovely and flowers blooming everywhere. The strong stable hand carries water and cooks for her, washes her clothes and her hair, and serves the pampered young lady until she's completely content. The stable hand doesn't talk much, but he's very clean. He often takes cold showers over and over in the middle of the night. Yuan Yingti likes him very much and often praises him as a good person. Taking advantage of Yuan Yingti's blindness, Xie Zhi shamelessly watches her every day. The longer they live together, the more he realizes that, though the young lady seems to have been pampered all her life, she's actually timid and obedient, and never resists. It's as if she's constantly tempting him... as if he can do anything he wants to her. How could a lecher like him resist such temptation? Xie Zhi pulls open his collar and slips beneath her bed curtains on a sweltering night. The blurb for this novel: Su Wu transmigrates into an old-fashioned, angst-ridden novel about a man forcibly claiming a woman. The male lead is a young emperor. He kills the heroine's husband and abducts her to keep her by his side. As a result, the heroine's good name is ruined, and she ends up abandoned by everyone and dying of grief. And Su Wu has transmigrated into the poor heroine. She also has a System with her, which tells her: "You can only go home after completing the story's plot." Su Wu: "..." So, in order to go home, she diligently follows the original plot and completes her tasks. But later, she discovers that the plot is going strangely off course. For example, why is her cannon-fodder husband, who is supposed to be killed by the male lead, still alive? And why does he keep stopping her from following the plot? What she doesn't know is that her cannon-fodder husband has been possessed by a soul from another life. The one who came through is none other than the male lead from the book she'd just finished tormenting. In short, the male lead has been reborn in another body! Zhao Xuanying has been reborn. By a stroke of fate, he is no longer an emperor. He has been reborn in the body of Su Wu's husband, Zhao Changyan. He has regained Su Wu without a single hardship. She was the obsession that haunted his desolate first half of life. In this life, he swears to protect her and hopes only to live in peace by her side. But later, he discovers that the wife who had been so steadfastly devoted to her "husband" is thinking about other men after their marriage. Not just one, either. His handsome eyes narrow with scorn. He can't bear to restrain his little wife, but every man she thinks about will have to die. Reader's guide: 1.
