After the Sick Little Uncle Set His Sights on Me

Yan Chun was the wife Xue Qinglin had brought home in an eight-bearer bridal sedan, marrying her properly with a matchmaker and a formal proposal.

Yet on their wedding night, the groom vanished without a trace, leaving her alone to sit in their empty room until dawn.

Only later did she learn that Xue Qinglin had spent the entire night tending to someone else, never once sparing a thought for his new bride.

It turned out he had already had a beloved in his heart, while she had given him her whole heart with complete sincerity.

Their marriage had been nothing more than a reluctant arrangement dictated by competing interests.

From then on, Yan Chun did only what was expected of a young madam. She helped manage the Xue family household and took good care of Xue Liang, the unloved third young master of the family.

But she never imagined that at her remarriage banquet, this third young master, now a powerful minister, would arrive with the icy chill of wind and snow, step over the red silk and trample the bridal sash as he made his way to her.

He knelt before her, lifted her bridal veil, and gazed at her with a look both feverish and tender:

"Long time no see, sister-in-law."

Her kindness and care had ultimately helped him climb, one step at a time, to a position no one else could reach.

They had also become the gilded cage that held her captive.
