Tang Jiujiu is the second child in the family. She has an older brother who needs medical treatment and a younger sister who is waiting for food. Looking at her sad father and mother who is crying secretly, she carries a small baggage and sells herself to the sick scholar at the entrance of the village as a child bride.
On the first night at his house, Tang Jiujiu climbed into his quilt shaking his hands and feet, only to be completely wrapped up and placed in the inner room.
The man tucked her into the quilt gently, looked into her eyes and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you from now on."
Tang Jiujiu nodded ignorantly and took the words into his heart.
Yang Qi was a sickly man who could barely make a living by copying books for others. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, but that thin little girl stubbornly supported a family with her thin shoulders.
She added lamp oil for him at night, asked for medicine for his illness, held his hand and expressed her joy, and covered his lonely heart with tears.
So he spent his whole life fulfilling that promise, just because all the hardships and hardships could not hurt her in the slightest.

Many years later, someone once asked Yang Qi, who had become a very popular minister, what was so good about his ordinary wife.
Yang Qi lowered his eyes and smiled: "Probably she is the only flower with a bright face that blooms in my barren land. From now on, everything in the mountains and rivers, the boundless wind and moon, will never be seen again."
