Did My Husband Die Today?

After years of hardship, her husband, Pei Yuangui, finally came first in the imperial examinations and won the title of top scholar.

On the day his name appeared on the honors list, Cen Yu was happily dressing in her room when her husband sent someone to force a cup of poison down her throat. She and the child in her womb died without ever understanding why.

After death, Cen Yu became a vengeful ghost, drifting at Pei Yuangui's side and watching him marry the Seventh Princess, become prime minister, and live happily ever after.

It made Cen Yu hate him so much she nearly went mad.

In this new life, Cen Yu has yet to meet Pei Yuangui.

She is twelve, at the beginning of her youth, with romance just about to bloom.

She is still the apple of her family's eye. Her family has not yet been destroyed, and she has no need to use an old debt of gratitude to force Pei Yuangui to marry her.

Pei Yuangui has a secret.

Since childhood, he has been in love with Cen Yu, his master's precious daughter. But she is like a carefree bird in the sky, charming and lovely, while he is a trapped beast struggling to find a way forward on the ground. They are worlds apart, and she can only ever be a dream.

During a bandit attack, Cen Yu saved his life.

Pei Yuangui suppressed his vague affection and, following the etiquette of a gentleman, bowed deeply to her.
