Even a Paralyzed War God Can Still Wed

Jiang Pan had an enviable betrothal to the third son of the Cui family, a prestigious family from among the Five Surnames and Seven Clans, famed throughout the capital. Then her father was demoted over political reforms, and the Cui family immediately found an excuse to break off the engagement. The very day the Cui family ended the betrothal, the Wei family from the south of the city came to propose. The Wei family's second son, Wei Yan, was a celebrated god of war in the northwest, striking such fear into the Turks that they trembled at the sound of his name. With him stationed there, the people of the northwest lived in peace and prosperity. But who could have expected that Wei Yan would fall from his horse and wake up paralyzed, unable to speak or move? So the elders of the Wei family unanimously decided to find Wei Yan a young, beautiful bride to bring him good luck. Perhaps consummating the marriage on their wedding night would cure him. Jiang Pan had become the laughingstock of Chang'an after the Cui family broke off the engagement, just as the Wei family came to propose. Everyone envied her good fortune, while waiting to see her make an even bigger fool of herself. "Just you wait. Either Wei Yan will be paralyzed for life, or, once he recovers, he'll divorce her. That's the most respect he can show her." Jiang Pan listened to the mean gossip around town and secretly nodded. That was what she thought, too. On their wedding night, Jiang Pan looked at the God of War lying in bed, able to move nothing but his eyes. She was secretly relieved. Being married to a paralyzed man wasn't so bad. At least she wouldn't have to do those things from the little book with him. They looked terrifying. Just as she was congratulating herself on a comfortable life, a low, hoarse voice spoke slowly beside her in the middle of the night: "Do... it... yourself." Jiang Pan turned around in terror and stared at the man in bed in disbelief: "...!!!" He was paralyzed, and he could still consummate the marriage?! Later, Wei Yan recovered. Everyone in Chang'an waited for them to divorce. They waited and waited, until Jiang Pan had given birth to two children, and they still hadn't divorced. On a sweltering summer night, Jiang Pan shoved the muscular man away. "Let's get a divorce. I want to divorce you." She really couldn't take it anymore. That man was like a wolf, insatiable. Wei Yan pulled her into his arms and kissed her. "Calm down, my lady. We'll go to the Jing Mountain villa to escape the heat tomorrow." - A sweet, marriage-first, love-later story.
