Yunniang had once wondered: if she had fallen off that cliff and Feng Zhi hadn't saved her, perhaps she would have died somewhere in the wilderness.
Seeing that she had no family and was as beautiful as a celestial being, Feng Zhi offered to marry her. Yunniang agreed. When Feng Zhi passed the highest imperial examination, he sent a sedan chair to bring her to Shuntian Prefecture. Only then did she discover that Feng Zhi already had another wife.
She had been meant to be his proper wife, but instead became a concubine. In the stillness of the night, Feng Zhi comforted her. "It's all right. We love each other. What's the difference between being the proper wife and not?"
Yunniang didn't understand. She'd somehow gone from wife to concubine, only to discover that he had lied to her again.
There really was such a huge difference between a wife and a concubine...
Feng Zhi's proper wife, a woman everyone praised for her virtue and gentleness, clenched her teeth in private and told her, "You're just a concubine. You're no different from a servant. Your master can beat and scold you, dispose of you however he likes, and it's perfectly reasonable for him to sell you."
When a buyer came to the door, Yunniang fled in the middle of the night. She accidentally fell into the water, and when she opened her eyes again, she discovered she had become the most honored woman in the land: the emperor's only younger sister.
Everyone said it had only been a nightmare.
Until that man appeared before her, running after the princess's carriage in a wretched state, all the way down Gulou Street. At last, he fell to his knees in despair amid the dust kicked up by her phoenix carriage, tears streaming down his face.
Only then did she realize it hadn't been a dream. It was a painful past she could never bear to remember.
Fortunately, she had woken from that dream.
* The male lead is Feng Zhi. He has no connection to the heroine's former husband. The heroine will marry someone later in the story. Both leads have had no other partners.
* The male lead loves only the heroine from the start. He is devoted to her throughout, both body and soul.
Note: Discussion and criticism of the plot are welcome, but personal attacks, insults, profanity, and political topics will most likely be deleted. I hope that the first time I meet you all, you will be at your most lovely and radiant.

Blurb:
When Li Yao was fifteen, she married Zhao Qi, the man who had saved her life. She stayed by his side as he rose from having nothing to becoming emperor, growing from a pampered young lady into a wife who had weathered every storm with him.
The first thing Zhao Qi did after ascending the throne was bring Qian Wenxiang into the palace. The two of them were boating when they both fell into the water. Zhao Qi saved only Qian Wenxiang, forgetting that Li Yao was nearly drowning. The reason was simple: Qian Wenxiang was carrying his only child.
Li Yao really wanted to ask him: Big brother, do you still remember the little girl who got lost and whom you took home twenty years ago?
It wasn't until she met Zhao Xu, now a prisoner, in the Cold Palace that she learned the truth. The moment Zhao Xu saw Li Yao, he smiled. "It's you, little sister. You've grown so much."
It turned out that years ago, the person who had carried her around, asking every household whose child she was, and who had sat beneath the eaves with her in the rain, sighing sadly because he couldn't find her parents, wasn't Zhao Qi. It was Zhao Xu.
On the day she learned that Zhao Xu had taken poison and killed himself, she stood atop the city wall. The howling wind whipped her crimson dress, making her look as if she might ascend to heaven at any moment. Zhao Qi ran toward the wall like a madman, shouting without a care for his dignity, "If you dare jump from there, I'll kill the Li family and have them buried with you!"
She leaped from the wall.
When she opened her eyes, she was back on the day she had first married. Zhao Qi was kneeling before her like a dog, explaining why he had married Qian Wenxiang.
Li Yao listened with a smile, then turned and left. She was going to find her big brother.
Theme: People should love themselves
This kind of thing also appears in novels. In reality, a little girl can run as far as she wants when she encounters such a mean-mouthed boy.
Feng Zhi is too cheap. If the heroine does not regain her status as a princess, she will always be a concubine, and the child will be a concubine. The hero still claims to love the heroine, and Liu Yi is also an army general. Even if he does not accept the child, he will not be a deserter and abandon his own country.
I think the reason why the male protagonist regretted it was not because he suddenly felt that he loved the female protagonist. It's more because the heroine now has a distinguished status and wants to climb high.
The Prince Consort is forced to be "cowardly"
The emperor is really unworthy. The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel for the queen. Don't give him a child, just take a motherless prince and raise him well, and just become the queen mother.
This emperor is so off-putting, Yue, Emperor, you don't have to doubt it, it's not that your vision has become high, it's that you have a bad vision when you fall in love with your concubine.
The heroine didn't recover her memory, so she gave the heroine's child such a stallion emperor
I quite like Feng Ying, but I have no interest in the story between her and this emperor. It feels like it was just lumped together.
Overall, I felt lonely watching it. The emperor behind him is really mean.
It is smooth, the plot and characters are novel, not cookie-cutter, not industrial sugar, and suitable for lovers of gore. It's a bit short, so I can expand on it. This is the first time I've seen this wonderful relationship between Feng Shuangyu and the male protagonist. The title Sister Yu is very appropriate.
