Three years into their marriage, the couple could hardly get along. Zhang Hanyin, Princess Consort of Yu, had hoped that joining Prince Yu on his campaign would give them a chance to grow closer.
But when it became clear that all was lost, the good-for-nothing Prince Yu abandoned his wife and fled, leaving Zhang Hanyin alone to defend the city, where she was captured.
After her capture, Zhang Hanyin seemed to vanish from the world. Not a single person in Dongping or the Zhang family cared whether she lived or died, and so she was forced to die that winter.
Just as Zhang Hanyin was at a loss, Xu Huo, commander of Mingde's Rear Cavalry, took pity on her and offered her a new path: go to Lin'an.
And so, the disheartened Zhang Hanyin, sustained by her ancestor's dying wish, reluctantly followed Xu Huo to Lin'an, the capital of Mingde.
But once she arrived, Zhang Hanyin could never have imagined that she, once the honored Princess Consort of Yu, would fall so far as to become a concubine in a general's household. Until then, her life had moved at a snail's pace. But after meeting Xu Huo, it took off: remarriage, childbirth, and falling in love, all in one go.
Yet beneath this seemingly peaceful life, undercurrents churned and danger lurked everywhere.
Behind the high walls of the manor, those who shed their disguises each pursued their own interests. They devoted their entire lives to chasing the highest power.
They met amid a chaotic age and were forced down an extraordinarily perilous path.
As they drew closer, Zhang Hanyin discovered that love, for her and Xu Huo, was a process of saving one another.
But new roads ahead brought old grudges and conflicts, while the roots of past calamities still bound them from behind, threatening to drag her back into the same quagmire she'd once been trapped in.
"A Yin, you've already been abandoned once. I can't..."
"Go, Xu Huo. Go fight for the peace you want..."
The dynasty is divided, and warlords vie for supremacy. The people have suffered through war for far too long.
Who will bring peace to this chaotic age?
A few things to know:
Happy ending. Married first, love later. The alternate historical setting is entirely fictional. Both leads have only ever been with each other. The male lead has wives and concubines, but he's always off at war and barely knows them. They are complete strangers who merely live under the same roof. This is my first attempt at writing a novel, and I'm inexperienced in every respect, so please bear with me.
Please discuss respectfully and read with an open mind. I hope you enjoy the story.
Theme: May the land know peace and prosperity, and may all under heaven live in peace.
When I first saw this article, it was probably still being serialized, so I kept it in my favorites. Fortunately, I was browsing through my collection yesterday and accidentally encountered it again. The author is a newcomer, so the popularity and interaction may be a bit quiet, but the writing style and conception are not perfunctory at all. From the few times the author has something to say, it can be seen that the author himself is also a very patient and responsible person. There is a note in the copy that the male protagonist has a wife and concubines, but they are not familiar with them, and the female protagonist has an ex-husband, but they are just a bitter couple. This setting is currently mainstream as a sweet pet. The male protagonist must be physically and mentally clean and wait for the female protagonist. This website is indeed not very flattering. Especially this combination of a troubled hero x a beautiful woman in distress, it is also easy to write a story about a greasy boss and a self-pitying little doppelganger chasing each other, and misunderstandings come and go. Fortunately, this article is anything but. So I want to leave something behind for this story that is so well written, but unfortunately not enough people have read it, and I also look forward to seeing the author's better and better results one day. Because it's worth it. At the beginning of the story, Yuan, the heroine and her ex-husband are trapped in a city that is about to be breached. After three years of marriage, one married out of love, but the other felt that the other's kindness was charity and made him feel inferior and angry. The wrong person can never respond to a right relationship, and the heroine bears the consequences of her choice. The enemy is facing a formidable enemy and the morale of the army is unstable. As the commander-in-chief, the prince's ex-husband abandons his wife and flees the city. The final farewell was not so much that he wanted to find closure with the heroine, but rather that he found a way to finally pour out the inferiority and injustice he had felt in his heart for the past three years. After all, in the eyes of this scumbag, once he leaves, the heroine will probably die. One person rode away, and the other person drew his bow and was shot. The heroine couldn't take action, but the other party mistakenly thought that she was going to shoot herself to death. They had been married for three years, but he didn't even know how good her archery skills were when she went all out. But from then on, the relationship between husband and wife was broken and they turned against each other. The plot progresses very quickly, the city gate is broken almost instantly, and the male protagonist makes his debut. A high-spirited and high-spirited young general, despite his age, he does not look rugged, but rather handsome. It was not until much later that from the mouths of the heroine and others, the general at that time was somewhat melancholy and desolate, as if he was lonely and incompatible with the world. At the gate of the city, Xu Huo stretched out his hand to the embarrassed, bright and stubborn woman. At that time, he didn't love her, and he couldn't even talk about liking her. But being homeless in a troubled world, he also sympathized with her suffering. Strangers may have kind thoughts, but old friends are as cold as ice. Soon, Wei Wei's past identity was forced to pass away. The scumbag ex-husband needed a dignified ending, so the so-called father and brother got a decent title. Everyone was happy, except for one person who was abandoned in the smoke of war. She can't go back to Yecheng. Xu Huo was probably the only one who was shocked by this indifference and abandonment. Wei Wei's heart had already sobered up after years of disappointment. But she is not a delicate flower of wealth, but a spring grass with strong vitality. People who are abandoned find a new direction for themselves. So, when Xu Huo asked her if she wanted to go to Lin'an, Wei Wei thought of the dying wish of her grandfather who raised her. He wanted to return to his hometown of Jinling and recognize his ancestors. One is out of touch with others, and the other is worried about each other. The two of them chose to go together for the first time. In the article, it was not until Lin'an City that Wei Wei knew that Xu Huo's arrangement for her was to become his woman, or concubine. When faced with her question, Xu Huo just said lightly, "You didn't ask." Of course Wei Wei lamented the gap from princess to concubine, but she could also see her current situation clearly. Faced with Xu Huo's second choice of concubinage documents, she still chose to accept it, and even entered the role faster than the other party. There were no relatives or friends, and there was no wedding dress from Dahong, but this was Xu Huo's first complete marriage in his life. The previous half time was with his wife Yunyi. They only completed the wedding ceremony and had to leave for the battlefield before they had time to lift the hijab. After that, three concubines were crammed in. Every time they came back from an expedition, there would be one more woman in the house. Only this time, this time it was the woman Xu Huo brought back, his woman. After that, he took her to meet his only elder, who was not his biological mother, but the old enemy of his biological mother, Concubine Zhang, Empress Zhao. The mother of a country was forced to be trapped in a Buddhist temple. The person who still misses her is the biological son of the person who caused her to be here. Who is this kind of intricacy a mockery of? Facing Queen Zhao's inquiry, Xu Huo clearly distinguished his feelings for Wei Wei for the second time. He said it was not because he liked her, but because he was lonely. Then came the separation, one in the general's mansion and the other on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the joy would blossom and bear fruit overnight. Wei Wei's pregnancy was like a pebble falling into the water in the General's Mansion, which was under public criticism. Some people hoped that she would give birth, while others hoped that she would die. Fortunately, Xu Huo, who was victorious, received the letter that was blocked and almost destroyed at the last moment. The short separation made him realize what he missed, and the sudden bloodline gave him a new connection with the world. Everyone tried to influence Wei Wei's life and death, but fortunately Xu Huo arrived before it was too late. Wei Wei was almost burned to death due to premature birth and was weak in bed. Xu Huo shed tears for the first time. Even though he knew who the culprit was, he could only hold back. Even when his biological mother, who had been trying to control his life, forced Weiwei's mother and son to separate, he was unable to comply. When he heard that the decree had been sent back to the general's mansion, he ran all the way and saw the disappointed and sad look in the woman's eyes. He probably didn't need anyone to ask him about his feelings for Wei Wei. I don't know where it started, but he loved her. This plot, which may require repeated torture in other stories, is handled very well by the author. In troubled times, compromise and powerlessness are the norm, and many choices are undesirable. Just as Xu Huo had to accept a bunch of strange women living in his general's palace, Wei Wei also had to accept the transition from princess to concubine. She understood the cruelty of this world, so she tolerated Xu Huo's temporary powerlessness. She doesn't blame or complain about this, she only expresses her attitude. If one day he still can't bring his daughter back to her, then she will do it herself at all costs. At this point, the story really slowly opens the final curtain. They had to fight, and they had to use their swords against others. In this process, Wei Wei struggled, but she was a kind-hearted person after all. Therefore, facing Yunyi who was trapped and unable to escape, and even the death of Mrs. Cao Zang, she feared that one day she and Xu Huo would become unrecognizable and have no bottom line due to power and profit. But she didn't blame Xu Huo, and even apologized for his sadness after briefly questioning his methods. Because she knew that they actually had no choice. Everyone is giving their last performance for the final outcome. The emperor who has always played the role of incompetence and coward shows his ferocious face, the queen who has endured for many years gives up her obsession with death, the dead man who is tortured by his conscience chooses to fight for atonement, and the vain and selfish concubine is still chasing the high and high in her dream. The one who was insulted finally bore the fruit of malice, and the one who was let down many years later only wanted to hear an apology. The powerful ministers retreated, leaving only the duel between the emperor and Xu Huo. On one side is the daughter who was brought into the palace, and on the other is the lover who must leave Lin'an to gain life for the family. For the second time in my life, I faced the choice of being left alone. Fortunately, this time Wei Wei chose to stay by herself, and even more fortunately, this time the man said, I don't want you to be left behind again. That's enough. They said goodbye and went to their respective battlefields, looking forward to an early reunion. Fate finally brought the two people who had been abandoned to a high platform. Xu Huo, who was once driven away by his biological father and became the embarrassed emperor's stepson because of his biological mother, finally said a complete and formal farewell to his native family. His father, who once abandoned him, fought for him out of guilt and helped him win the key battle of the counterattack on Lin'an. However, father and son are on different paths, so they have to take care of each other from now on. His mother, who tried to control him, finally drugged and assassinated the heroine, which completely wiped out his last expectations. The Queen Mother left the palace and never had to see her again. Wei Wei, who had been abandoned, finally returned to Yecheng and fought back. With one strike of the sword, all grudges were wiped out. I won't wait for you to repay the arrow I shot by mistake. This time I will kill you with my sword. They are both lonely because of their past, and they also warm each other because of their loneliness. The ending is rushed but satisfying. On the city tower, the emperor, who already had a house full of children, was still asking her queen, if you had it to do over again, would you choose to follow me? Like many times after falling in love, he asked, "Will you leave me?". And every time, the woman would firmly tell him, no. You don't need to ask often, and you don't need to be anxious. I will prove it to you with every answer, with our six children, with my unwavering commitment and companionship, and with a belief that will not be eroded by suspicion or misunderstanding. I will choose you as you choose me. In troubled times, people leave without asking where they came from. Wherever you and I go is the way back.
The little monument is here~ Let me tell you, the third time I have to start preparing for some exams, so the small monument will disappear for a while. Sorry for not receiving your feedback in time. However, there are enough manuscripts stored, so please rest assured that it will not affect your viewing. Special circumstances will be explained. This first book is a story that Xiaobei wanted to write many years ago. So no matter what, it will be finished. Maybe due to plot reasons, there will be more twists and turns emotionally. If you have friends who don't like it, you can pay attention to the pre-received sweet articles. I hope you can grow up with me and meet each other by fate. Thank you very much. I wish you all a happy life.
It's okay for a male protagonist to have a concubine, but not a wife. Otherwise, the female protagonist will always be humble.
Hello everyone! Put a preview here of "The Chic Daily Life of a Lady" I like to write ancient proverbs, you can click into the column to have a look~ The whole family consists of two and a half, the pretty general daughter The whole house is full of people from a dignified family. The Earl of Pingkang's Palace is one of the few high-end palaces in Tokyo. Speaking of the two rooms of the Cui family, the upper and lower generations together can actually make up a total of five tables. But such a prosperous and prosperous high gate has become a place that noble ladies avoid. In Tokyo, people with higher family status than the Cui family are unwilling to marry their daughters. The Cui family doesn't look down on anyone with a lower family status than the Cui family. Not to mention finding someone who is a good match. In this way, the marriage of Cui Zhiyun, the only legitimate son of the Cui family, was delayed again and again. But Cui Zhiyun was focused on Imperial College, and he always let things like this come naturally. It even feels dispensable. But seeing the concubine and the second wife marrying brides one by one, Mrs. Cui, who had always refused to wrong her son by marrying at a low price, could no longer sit still. She picked and picked among the high-ranking families in Tokyo City, and finally handed the Geng Tie to the door of the Huainan Jiedu Envoy, who dared not even refuse the marriage proposal from the county government. This difficult-to-eat Taishi family has become Mrs. Cui's last hope. If it fails, she can only accept her fate. Unexpectedly, the matchmaker walked away with a frown, but returned with a smile. Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the Cui family, the matchmaker took a sip of tea and then slowly took out Tai Shizheng's Geng Tie, put it on the table and said loudly: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the eldest lady. The marriage between our husband and Lady Zheng - the Taishi family has agreed!" "Yes... Yes?" That day, everyone in the Cui family forgot their joy and looked at each other. No one believed or dared to believe that this marriage really happened. And then, until the wedding night. Cui Zhiyun stood by the bed and looked at everything in front of him like a dream, and finally asked the person in front of him what he had always wanted to ask. "There are thousands of good people in Tokyo, why did my wife choose me?" Hearing this, Tai Shizheng lifted up a corner of his hijab and saw his handsome husband. He smiled brightly and said, "Oh? This - I've heard that my husband's house is lively. I'll marry him and have a look." From then on, Taishi Zheng was like a harpoon in the melon field, scurrying everywhere in the Cui family. Double C, HE. Marriage first, love later, the law of true fragrance, parents are short-lived, and they are always oriented.
The heroine is really responsible and upright
Considering the environment in which the heroine has lived since she was a child, and the fact that she has spent several years in the palace, I don't know why she is so simple-minded. In the first chapter, the heroine gave me the impression that she was well-educated and very strategic. However, the more I read, the more I discovered that the heroine has no great IQ, is not good at strategy, and is not good at fighting in a house. Just like an optimistic person with a pleasant temperament
Finished spreading flowers! It looks like it's pre-ordered, so I'm waiting for the new one~
What's the meaning? Is that her aunt or her mother??
I'm really looking forward to how the male protagonist will feel when he finds out that the female protagonist has a baby, haha
When did the male protagonist know that he had a baby?
