Thank you for supporting the official version. - Zhou Youwu has been having nightmares lately. The cold, handsome emperor lifts the son she had struggled to raise into a chubby, healthy boy with one hand. In a chilly voice, he says, "How dare you let my son call someone else Father?" He tosses the sobbing child aside and leans over her, covering her like a mountain of jade. She is abruptly reminded of that unsettled, drifting night. Zhou Youwu quickly wakes in fright. Before she can wipe the cold sweat from her brow, her maid rushes in from outside, beaming. "Congratulations, my lady! His Majesty has just sent an imperial decree. He wants to welcome you into the palace as a Noble Consort!" Zhou Youwu: "Huh?" After Zhou Youwu, once the most celebrated beauty in the capital, divorced her husband, the noble ladies began visiting friends far more often. After much excited chatter, they reached a consensus: How could a divorced woman possibly find a good match? They should just sit back and wait to see her fall into the mud, miserable and wretched. Delighted, they began playing cards. A little maid hurried in. "The eldest daughter of the Zhou family has been made a Noble Consort!" Noble Lady A said bitterly, "His Majesty must only care about her looks! How long can a woman who relies on her beauty stay in favor? Just wait and see!" The ladies rallied and resumed their card game. Before long, the little maid returned with a mournful look. "Her son with her former husband, that little burden, has been made Crown Prince!" Noble Lady B: "How could His Majesty be so foolish? That wicked consort had better watch out for a memorial from the censors!" The ladies rallied once more and resumed their card game. The little maid announced woodenly, "Noble Consort Zhou is going to be Empress." The ladies flipped the table over. Forget this, we're done playing.

A... man?! Hearing her stir, the man lowered his eyes, his tone casual. "Why are you awake so early today?" The light inside the bed curtains was dim, yet his face appeared perfectly clear to her. His features were as exquisite as cold jade, his expression as serene as autumn waters. Ruan Zhaozhi kept her face cold while the little person in her heart clutched its head and screamed. It was Li Xingtan. The man she'd secretly loved for three years. But... why were they lying in the same bed?! The truth was far stranger than she'd imagined. What do you do when you wake up and discover you've been married to your unrequited love for three years? Ruan Zhaozhi looked solemn. Weren't their families sworn enemies? · When she made some discreet inquiries, her father and brothers, who had once cursed the youngest son of the Li family for three hours without repeating themselves or taking a breath, coldly spat out four words: "A disgrace to our family!" Li Xingtan was perfectly composed. He said this was true love at last. But Ruan Zhaozhi couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Did he really like her? That night, Li Xingtan entered the room and started taking off his clothes. Ruan Zhaozhi looked straight ahead. "What are you standing there for?" Li Xingtan calmly took off his bloodstained undershirt, his tone a little displeased. "Those sword wounds were all from your beloved. In fairness, you should help me apply the medicine." Ruan Zhaozhi froze. When had she... acquired a second beloved? · Li Xingtan noticed that his wife had been acting strangely lately. "Did you forget something?" Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Li Xingtan smiled faintly, and his snow-white undershirt slipped to the floor. Ruan Zhaozhi stole a glance without changing her expression. "We still need to do it thirty-six more times to clear the remaining poison. Have you forgotten, my lady?" Li Xingtan lay down and invited her, "My lady, take the top." Ruan Zhaozhi took a deep breath. She had to be on top again? Theme: Stand on your own feet and strive bravely, and you'll earn the life you dream of.
