I'm planning to start this one next~
A young lady of humble birth comes to stay with the marquis's household. Beautiful as a hibiscus, slender and graceful, she's as delicate and sweet as a creeping vine, the sort of girl people can't help but pity. Before long, she wins the young heir's heart.
How dare a cousin from some backwater who came here to curry favor covet the position of future mistress of the marquis's household? What shameless nerve!
All at once, A Wan innocently became the target of everyone's scorn.
The heir claimed he would marry no one but her, then turned around and got engaged to someone else. Just as everyone prepared to laugh at her, the Chief Grand Secretary, the most powerful and ruthless man in the empire, personally came to ask for her hand in marriage?!
Everyone was stunned!
A Wan was stunned, too!
Lately, Chu Chen had been having vivid dreams, all full of unspeakably sensual scenes. It wasn't until he met A Wan that he realized the woman in his dreams was her.
Along with the dreams came frequent heart trouble and difficulty breathing. Then one day, he took A Wan's hand and was startled to find his symptoms suddenly disappear.
It couldn't be a coincidence.
Then Chu Chen remembered that in his previous life, A Wan had been a canary he kept. But he hadn't known that she wasn't as fragile as a creeping vine, and that she would choose the most decisive way to leave him.
Chu Chen's heart twisted with pain, but it was too late.
If there were another life, he would cherish her in the palm of his hand and never let her cry. If he failed, he would deserve to suffer the torment of his heart condition.
In this life, A Wan is both his poison and his cure.
[Extra Scene]:
A Wan's eyes turned red, quickly filling with tears. They looked ready to spill at any moment.
Chu Chen frowned at once, his voice unconsciously threatening. "Don't cry!"
A Wan froze, fighting back her tears, feeling utterly wronged.
Chu Chen sighed inwardly, pulled her into his arms, and softened his voice to comfort her. "It's all right. If you want to cry, cry in your husband's arms."
1. In his previous life, the hero took A Wan by force. He was arrogant and didn't know how to cherish her. He's a bit of a scoundrel, but he's repented. Please think twice if that bothers you.
2. All the men A Wan meets are terrible prospects, except the hero. His previous-life self doesn't count.
3. As is customary, one-on-one romance, both inexperienced.
