Blurb: The Bai family had an illegitimate daughter with snow-white skin and breathtaking beauty, her bones as delicate as jade. Because she was so alluring, she could never be the proper wife of a prestigious household, so plenty of dissolute young men wanted to take her as a concubine. She died with regrets, then was reborn at a time when everything could still be changed. His Highness Prince Ning guarded the frontier and had won countless military honors. After he was seriously wounded and brought back to the capital, people said there was no hope for him. The emperor arranged a marriage between the Bai family and Prince Ning to bring him good luck. Her legitimate elder sister thought he was as good as dead and had fallen from favor, so Bai Wan willingly climbed into the bridal sedan in her place. On their wedding night, beneath the red bridal curtains. The bride had a slender waist, dark brows, red lips, and a stunning appearance. She was a rare beauty. The groom... The groom was still breathing. The burly man lay motionless on the bed. Bai Wan held a damp cloth, at a loss. They had told her to wipe Prince Ning down, but he was so big. Where was she supposed to start? The first push did nothing. The second push barely budged him. Bai Wan took a deep breath, planted one foot behind the man's waist, braced both hands against his shoulders, and pushed with all her might. At last, she rolled him over. His head hit the wall with a thud. He seemed to be sleeping even more deeply. Bai Wan: ∠( °口°)/ I'm doomed!! To save her own life, she clung to this golden thigh, the victorious hero of her previous life, and cared for him diligently day and night. At last, Prince Ning awoke. His eyes were deep and startlingly bright, reflecting the woman's alluring face. It was her. Every day, she squeezed his chest and touched his body, and at night she would lean close to his ear and brainwash him, saying, "See how well I've been taking care of you?" Well? He had two lumps on his head. And she called that good? Xie Qingchuan sneered inwardly, grabbed the hand still wandering over his body, clamped her slender wrists in his grip, and yanked them away angrily. Bai Wan lost her balance and fell hard against his solid chest, forced to tip her head back. She met his deep, sharp black eyes and trembled in bewilderment. Theme: Even when the road is difficult, still choose to run toward a better life.
