In her previous life, Yu Yan hated Chu Cunque.
Chu Cunque was taciturn, a notorious killing machine in the Great Yong Dynasty.
Yu Yan disliked his silence and the blood that stained his hands.
In their two years of marriage, she never once looked him in the eye.
Only after they divorced, on the day she was abducted by bandits and left to die, did Yu Yan see that the former husband she had hated most had come for her, covered in blood, solely to save her.
When she opened her eyes again, Yu Yan was back several years earlier, before her divorce from Chu Cunque.
She wanted to treat him better.
**
In this second life, Yu Yan finally begins to understand Chu Cunque.
She learns that when she hated him, he hid out of sight so she wouldn't have to see him and could live more comfortably.
She learns that even when the rain and wind beat him until his spine bent, he still protected the ceramic doll she had given him thoughtlessly.
She also learns that the feelings Chu Cunque had harbored as a young man were sealed away in a box alongside that ceramic doll.
**
After learning that Yu Yan hated him, Chu Cunque quietly kept his distance.
After marrying her, he even promised that when the time came, they would divorce.
But from the day he returned to the capital, Yu Yan seemed to change.
When she looked at him, her eyes were no longer filled with hatred.
Chu Cunque thought that no matter how Yu Yan changed, he would always treat her as a younger sister. Just a younger sister.
But when the young woman finally tentatively asked about their divorce, he was like a lone wolf abandoned by everyone.
He changed his mind.
In this life, Chu Cunque has killed many people and rarely given in to anyone.
Only before Yu Yan does he lower his head and wait for her love.

Check out my upcoming story, The Spring Oriole Sings
Wei Xun is the heir to the Duke of Yan, a celebrated military hero and favorite of the emperor. Many young women in Yongjing are enamored with him.
Jiang Ying calls him "Cousin." Living so close to him, she is the subject of rumors that she moved into the duke's residence to get close to Wei Xun. In truth, she is always careful and restrained there, never daring to cross a line.
The only time she ever crossed that line was when her benefactor was at death's door. To obtain medicine for them, Jiang Ying agreed to help the legitimate daughter of the Minister's residence, who had loved Wei Xun in vain, drug him.
But Jiang Ying never imagined that the minister's daughter and Wei Xun would fail to consummate their union, while she would accidentally bring the trouble upon herself and suffer the consequences.
Afterward, Wei Xun grabbed Jiang Ying by the throat and threw her off the bed, nearly strangling her to death.
Jiang Ying thought that Wei Xun hated being manipulated and must despise her now. If she ever appeared before him again, the consequences would be worse than being strangled.
*
Wei Xun did indeed think that way.
The only reason he hadn't driven Jiang Ying out of the duke's residence was that he still felt some affection for her as a cousin.
If Jiang Ying dared to scheme against him again, there would be no place for her in the duke's residence.
*
Not long afterward, the minister's daughter brought the medicine Jiang Ying's benefactor needed and asked her for help one more time.
Remembering the meaningful look Wei Xun had given her in the night, Jiang Ying agreed and told the woman where Wei Xun would be.
Everyone who knew the truth said Jiang Ying had finally offended Wei Xun for good, and that she would have no more easy days in Yongjing.
Jiang Ying expected as much. Not long after drugging him, she boarded a boat home to Jiangzhou to find her benefactor.
But no one knew that later, in Jiangzhou, beneath a dark night and swaying gauze curtains, Wei Xun would lean close to Jiang Ying's ear, his eyes dark and his voice hoarse. "Was it worth scheming against me again and again for his sake?"
Theme: Stay optimistic and keep moving forward, no matter your circumstances
Wuwuwuwu, I cried to death. The male protagonist in the previous life was so lonely and distressed. He tortured me to death. Is there any sweet extra story? 😭
"After Yu Yan was taken to the Ministry of Punishment, it was..." This is a big bug for the author~
"I thought it was a snake." Catch a big bug for the author~ Imaginary and conciliatory snake
"One" is a big thorn in the side of the author~
Ahhhhh, such pure love!!! I haven't seen such a beautiful story in Jinjiang for a long time (wiping away tears). I like this kind of love that is gradual and steady. The male protagonist is really restrained and his love for the female protagonist is too forbearing. The female protagonist is also very smart. In the end, she bravely expressed her feelings. Hehe, I read it in one go after two days. It's so good. I hope the extra chapter will be sweet and that Yu Yan and Chu Cunque will always be happy!!! Finished with flowers~

Extra extra! Add sugar, add sugar!
Do you like this kind of pure emotion of self-restraint and propriety? Come to Jinjiang and leave the first comment for me???
This male protagonist is really good, and so is the female protagonist? Can the extra story be sweeter and have more chapters?
For me, this book ranks in the top five this year.
