*A dual-rebirth pursuit of the wife, with a divorce request from the start. The heroine is clear-headed and won't bottle things up; the hero suffers, and the revenge for her past life is immensely satisfying.
Tang Yao was born into a marquis's household. Beautiful and of distinguished family, she had been married to Yu Qingxun for eleven years. They were a perfectly matched couple, deeply in love, with children together, and envied by countless noblewomen in the capital.
No one knew that one day she would be imprisoned in her courtyard and die in silence, while both her children would meet untimely deaths as well.
It was all because Yu Qingxun brought an adopted daughter into the household.
He treated the girl as his own, protecting and caring for her at every turn, even more than he did his own children.
Tang Yao died with resentment in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day the adopted girl first entered the Duke's residence.
This time, her children were still alive, and none of it had happened yet.
She would no longer endure it, nor deceive herself by believing he had any feelings for her.
She firmly demanded a divorce and never looked back.
*
Rumor had it in the capital that Duke Yu Qingxun adored his wife, Tang Yao, so much that he defied his mother for her and never touched a maid or took a concubine.
Yu Qingxun, however, didn't think much of it.
He loved Tang Yao's body, her beauty, and her gentleness and thoughtfulness, but he had never believed he loved her as a person.
Romance was nothing but a burden to him.
He married her only because his parents commanded it, indulged her because she was delicate and charming, and cherished her because of their children.
As for love, there had never been any.
He never imagined that one day Tang Yao would ask for a divorce!
And he never imagined that after he refused, she would dare to take him to court, willing to endure a beating rather than hold her tongue as she declared their marriage over!
He couldn't understand why she was so resolute, nor why it hurt so much when she said she didn't love him.
*
Later, the powerful Duke Yu, unable to win her heart, wanted to marry into her family and was even willing to become her kept man.
Tang Yao only smiled faintly. "You once said love was useless, Duke. Please show some self-respect."
Later still, with humble love in his heart and asking for nothing in return, he was content to be her devoted servant.
Reader's notes:
1. A pursuit of the wife after a divorce, dual rebirth, same male lead, happy ending.
2. The male lead is sexually and emotionally inexperienced and observes proper conduct. In her previous life, the heroine had limited knowledge of his perspective. In both her past and present lives, the male lead loves her and their children. There is another reason behind the adopted daughter's storyline.
3. This is a fictional setting. The political maneuvering is simple and serves the plot.
4. The blurb only showcases the premise and dramatic plot points. If it's not for you, don't read it. Please don't read the blurb and then make up and spread rumors about events that don't exist in the story. Thank you!

Blurb:
Before she died, Chi Jiao thought, In my next life, I never want to meet Sheng Jingshi again. I never want to love him or marry him.
But after she died, she didn't reincarnate. Instead, she returned to a family banquet when she was sixteen. Her father was asking whether Sheng Jingshi was married. The handsome top scholar, only twenty years old, hadn't answered yet when Chi Jiao blurted out first, "I won't marry him!"
Sheng Jingshi, who was about to seize the opportunity to propose, froze with a smile on his face.
After the banquet, her mother took her aside to ask why.
Chi Jiao warily looked around and lowered her voice. "It's not that I think he's beneath me. It's that he can't do it!"
Chi's mother: "What can't he do?"
Chi Jiao: "He can't perform in bed!"
Even though Sheng Jingshi was handsome and brilliant, and had passed all three imperial examinations at the age of twenty, going on to become the youngest chancellor in the Three Departments of Great Zhou, he still couldn't do it! She had been married to him for eighteen years. They should have had children and grandchildren by now, but she died alone. If that didn't mean he couldn't do it, what did?
A man who can't perform is no good!
Sheng Jingshi, who happened to overhear from the shadows: ??!!!
-
Sheng Jingshi died three years after his wife passed away.
Looking back on his life before he died, he had been worthy of the people of the realm, his parents, and his mentors, but he had deeply let down the wife he loved.
When he opened his eyes again, Sheng Jingshi had returned to the age of twenty.
The regrets of the past had not yet happened, and his wife was still waiting for him to come and propose.
Sheng Jingshi headed to the Chi family full of anticipation, only to hear Chi Jiao refuse him on the spot.
Sheng Jingshi couldn't understand why the wife who had cherished him like a pearl in their previous life now ignored him and wanted to marry someone else.
Until he accidentally heard her spreading rumors that he couldn't perform.
Sheng Jingshi could take no more. He pinned Chi Jiao against a wall and demanded, "How can't I do it?"
Chi Jiao had no proof but spoke with confidence. "You can't have children. That's not good enough."
Sheng Jingshi: ?

This is truly the most powerful ancient saying about chasing a wife that I have ever seen, and it is truly a masterpiece. The author's brushwork is delicate, and the characterization of the characters is as penetrating as Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. I feel that the characters of the male and female protagonists are very vivid, especially the emotional lines between the two, which are like the ups and downs of a rushing river, and the tenderness of a gurgling stream. The love-hate entanglement between the two is very logical. From the misunderstanding in the past life to the reconciliation in this life, the male protagonist went from an invincible young general to the powerful minister Tuogu. He realized that his blind arrogance led to the death of his wife and daughter in his previous life, and then regretted, blamed himself, and could not forgive himself in this life. The logic is too strong. From marrying thousands of miles away for love to giving up on the male protagonist after rebirth, and starting from the divorce in Jingzhao Mansion, the heroine's character becomes more and more vivid. She can not only confine herself to the family home and love, but she can also master the laws of the Jin Dynasty at her fingertips. She is not afraid to refute Wang's nonsense in court when faced with danger. She can cook delicious food, know calligraphy, gallop a horse, and can point out to the point that the husband is unkind to his wife. Why is the husband above his wife? The heroine's sense of subjectivity is not weak. Perhaps in distant Yunzhou, when the sun sets in the west, not only is the sunset reflected by the setting sun, but the heroine's heart as hot as the sun is also floating in the wind. From the author's description of the plot line, we can also see that the author is thoughtful and has a high level of historical literacy. I really admire him. I hope the author can keep updating.
Where are the Empress Dowager and the little emperor? There is no explanation, is it a bit embarrassing?
It was well written, with a few jumps in the middle. Well, I don't know how to put it. I like the characters of the male and female protagonists very much, but when she later agreed to try it out with Yu, I didn't want to watch it. I personally think she shouldn't be like this. She said so decisively that she didn't love her anymore. How could someone who would rather be punished than divorce her husband agree to try it because she couldn't bear to see her brother sad? She is such a good person, but she knows that nothing will happen between her and Yu. She agrees and refuses. Isn't that giving people hope and then giving them despair? I was very confused and didn't want to see her deceiving herself and dating her younger brother, so I skipped some chapters, but overall it was still very interesting.
No extras? What happened to the little emperor?
So delicious! It would be nice if there were more cookie extras
I just like watching scenes where male silver sheds tears [Cat Head]
Really good-looking, I brushed it up
Where are the little emperor and the empress dowager?
Ah? Actually, I don't really want them to be emperors.
This book is not very sweet, it is well written, but I feel that the happiness of the male and female protagonists is lacking.
