Clouds Drift Down, Peach Blossoms Drunk on a Few Branches

[Male lead undecided]

Su Youyun was once the pampered daughter of the Grand Preceptor.

An imperial decree of marriage bound her to Pei Shiqing, a ruthless young general known for his decisive violence.

On their wedding night, she listened to the drunken Pei Shiqing call out another person's name again and again, wiping his brow for him until dawn.

Three years into their marriage, the Su and Pei families became sworn enemies amid a political factional struggle.

Overnight, the husband who had treated her with respect became a merciless demon.

Four years of groveling and keeping her head down earned her nothing but Pei Shiqing's repeated humiliation.

At least, at last, she heard him casually say, "I'm tired of you," and received a letter of divorce.

She quietly left the Pei residence with her two maidservants.

Unexpectedly, Pei Shiqing suddenly appeared again.

He cornered her in an alley, gripped her chin, and fixed her with a turbulent, repressed intensity she had never seen before. His voice was hoarse.

"You've been away from me for only a few days, and you're already flirting with another man?"

What Su Youyun didn't know was that the man before her wasn't from this time. Pei Shiqing had been reborn, carrying his regrets with him.

His breathing was heavy. The knuckles of the hand pressed against the wall had gone white as he tightly encircled Su Youyun, who was trembling and desperate to escape. His restraint held a rare tenderness.

"Yunyun, I won't let you run away again."
