A Woman of the Common Folk

Yu Jiangwan died from a bad fall and became the younger daughter of a couple fleeing famine in ancient times. The good news was that their flight from famine was over. The bad news was that she was married off to a soldier guarding the city. The man was tall, with a face that looked thoroughly unapproachable. Forced to marry her, he resented her. He never looked her in the eye or said more than a word to her, spending his days practicing with weapons in the courtyard. If she watched him for even a moment too long, he would turn a cold face her way. The colder he acted, the more she wanted to look. Not only did she look, she even got hands-on. To her surprise, she discovered that the man was skilled not only with weapons, but in other ways too... Yu Jiangwan was quite pleased with this, but she hadn't expected the man to have such incredible stamina. He wanted her day and night. Terrified, she ran off to start a food stall in the city, keeping him busy with errands to wear down all that boundless energy. He said nothing, but at night he put in even more effort than before. Yu Jiangwan suffered in silence. The days passed, busy and fulfilling, but the good times didn't last. The Xiongnu invaded, and the man left her a divorce letter before joining the army on the battlefield. Day after day, Yu Jiangwan's belly grew, but the man never came back. She wiped away her tears. He dared to abandon her and leave her all alone. Then she didn't want him anymore, either. Zhou Zizheng pursued the Xiongnu with the army. Remembering how the woman in his arms had wept on the night before he left, begging him to come back alive, he survived one close brush with death after another. After the army defeated the Xiongnu, he hurried back day and night. At the courtyard gate, he saw the woman he had missed every day and night. She was holding a child in her arms, her little face tilted up as she smiled tenderly at the man beside her. PS: One-on-one, both leads' first relationship. Updated every night at midnight.
