Su Zhen had a strange dream.
In it, she obeyed her father's orders, broke the marriage agreement her late mother had arranged, and married the Second Prince as his secondary consort.
But when the Second Prince's bloodthirsty nature was revealed and he subjected her to every kind of humiliation, her relatives at the Earl's residence merely stood by and watched.
As flames surged like a sea and the palace buildings crumbled, the only person willing to risk his life to rush in and save her was her former fiance, Duan Rongshi.
Waking from the dream, Su Zhen hurriedly rejected the Second Prince three times in a row:
I'm terribly sorry. I'm not worthy of you. You are far too good for me.
Yet rumors soon spread through the capital that the Second Prince was infatuated with a daughter of the Su family, and that an imperial edict arranging their marriage was imminent.
Su Zhen rolled her eyes and set her sights on her former fiance.
In other people's eyes, Duan Rongshi wielded immense power, was unfathomably scheming, and made a career of persecuting loyal ministers and valiant generals. His reputation could stop children from crying at night, and noble young ladies took care to avoid him.
In Su Zhen's eyes, Duan Rongshi never visited brothels or drank himself into a stupor. He was gentle and easy to talk to, and even had a handsome face, with well-shaped brows, bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing.
Su Zhen: Fine, I'll take him.

When the Duan and Su families held their wedding, everyone thought Su Zhen had gone mad. They were just waiting for this delicate young lady from the Earl's household to be humiliated in every possible way.
They waited and waited, only to see the Su family's young lady cherished in the palm of someone's hand, becoming the most honored woman in all of Great Zhou.

Lin Zhang, however, lowers his eyes and offers her the medicine he brewed himself and personally cooled with his breath. "Wife, drink it while it's hot."
His voice is gentle and solicitous, and his handsome face is faintly red. He truly looks like a young bride kidnapped into marriage.

[Please add my upcoming novel, The Long-Suffering Wife, to your collection!]
*First the heroine suffers, then the hero suffers. The rotten man will chase his wife all the way to the crematorium.
When Ruan Yingxue married Li San, he was a cripple, badly wounded and confined to bed.
For three years, she cared for him day and night, doing everything she could to keep their household going and help him stand again, until he returned to the battlefield and earned great honors.
Li San was appointed to an official post in the capital, and Ruan Yingxue went with him amid everyone's envious looks.
Only when the carriage stopped in front of a grand estate did Ruan Yingxue learn that Li San's real name was Li Zhao, and that he was the third young master of a noble ducal household in the capital, raised in luxury.
The Xu Duke's household was steeped in wealth and privilege, with bells ringing at mealtimes and the finest food on the table. Li Zhao felt perfectly at ease, while Ruan Yingxue could only blush and hide her hands, covered in chilblains, behind her back.
She studied etiquette and manners every day, carefully commenting on tea that had no flavor, and spent her nights reading by lamplight and learning to write. She thought that one day she might become worthy of him, but instead she saw the ducal residence decked out in celebration, with red silk draped everywhere.
Li Zhao was getting married.
The bride was his childhood sweetheart, the one he had always cherished. She carried herself with elegance and came from a family of equal standing. She had rejected marriage proposals for years for his sake.
Grateful for their old affection, Li Zhao would soon marry her and start a family.
As for Ruan Yingxue...
The marriage contract had made it perfectly clear: the man she married was Li San, a villager, not Li Zhao of the Xu Duke's household.
The matchmakers and all the formal rites were in place, and the bride would soon enter the household. Ruan Yingxue packed her belongings, took one last look at the plaque above the Xu Duke's residence, then turned and left without looking back.
That's right. Her husband was named Li San, a villager and military household member. He had nothing to do with Li Zhao of the Xu Duke's household.
Ruan Yingxue decided to consider him dead. Dressed in plain clothes, she traveled through the mountains and rivers, and before long found love again.
The new man was gentle by nature. He didn't mind her rough ways or that she was a widow. The two soon set a wedding date.
But on their wedding night, when he lifted her veil, the man before her was her persistent "late husband."
Theme: Breaking free from the constraints of one's birth family may lead to an entirely different world.
The heroine is really stupid and holy...
The biological father and stepmother are still alive, why are they said to be orphans?
The article is a bit confusing... A lot of things are not explained clearly...
I feel like the heroine is a bit of a virgin. If you want to help, you can help yourself, but you have to count on your husband who has a grudge against you to help.
This is not a writing guide. If the author likes to read, just treat me as a reader and give suggestions. If he doesn't like to read, it's okay to delete this comment. The writing is OK. There is room for improvement in grasping the plot. On the one hand, some plot connections are rather abrupt, such as the marriage of the male and female protagonists in the previous article. The previous plot was that the second prince coveted the female protagonist, which was obviously a big trouble. The reader felt that it took some effort to solve the problem (write a few chapters), but the male and female protagonists got married immediately. On the other hand, the relationship and the plot were inconsistent, and the writing was all over the place without a focus. The first few chapters were still about the local troubles + the struggle in the center of power. In these two chapters, hey, hey, he completely forgot that the male and female protagonists only need to fall in love. They didn't have a good relationship when they were in love. The two of them had two mouths and couldn't speak a word clearly. Or you misunderstood me and I guess you. They got sulky and had an awkward conversation and made up after a few words. If the words are not clear, let's continue next time. Are you adults? If you want to write about feelings, write the feelings well, and if you want to survive the plot, live the plot well, or focus on one line and write another one. You have to write one line clearly... How can you write several chapters of feelings and several chapters of plot? Character creation is a big problem. This article is not long. I have read two-thirds of it. So far, the heroine has not seen any shining points. She has to have a personality or a mind that readers will like, right? There is a problem in the Gu family, but I can't see it. I was led around by the nose. I finally figured it out, thought about it, and then forgot about it. I didn't ask or check, and just stood up and waited for the truth to come to me. Why the male protagonist is so deeply in love with the female protagonist is still not written... Such a complicated past and current entanglements in the court, just wait for the next third to be fully explained? It's hard for me to see. Come on, author, see you soon
? The hostess assumes... The Gu family comes to ask you to plead with the male protagonist, but the male protagonist rejects you. You quickly ventilate it with the Gu family and discuss what to do next. Why do you just treat saving the Gu family as a family matter and go around begging for help yourself? If I were the male protagonist, I would be so angry. I know you have a good relationship with the Gu family, but the problem is that I don't want to think that you have the reputation of being a "guest everywhere" now because of me, and you don't discuss it with me. You really regard the Gu family as your natal family... Besides, you suspect that there may be some conflict between the Gu family and the male protagonist. You talk about yourself, and you don't know how to inquire? Day by day, all I know is "I'm also confused, I don't know what's wrong with him"... The heroine is a little confused...
Um? Didn't his godfather beat him very hard?
The heroine is really stupid.
I'm a bit confused as to whether it's the past life or this life.
I can't express what I'm looking at...
