After transmigrating to ancient times, Duan Huaiyan went from being a farmer's son to the newly crowned top scholar. At the height of his success, he divorced his husband, Li Changsheng, whom he had treated with mutual respect for the three years they'd been married.
His husband neither argued nor made a scene. He accepted the land deeds, silver, and divorce papers Duan Huaiyan gave him, then left quietly.
A month later,
The imperial edict ordering Duan Huaiyan to marry arrived alongside news of Li Changsheng's death.
Duan Huaiyan opened the wooden box that had been delivered. Inside was a faded wooden hairpin and sheet after sheet of paper covered in his name.
Every stroke, from awkward to practiced, bore the mark of what he had taught him.
That night, somewhere between waking and sleeping, he saw his husband again, asking shyly at his desk, "My husband, could you teach me to read and write?"
*Marriage first, love later, with lighthearted everyday farming*
*There was a misunderstanding about the imperial marriage decree and the divorce, but it will be cleared up*
