At the height of their passion, Shen Youli rested her head on Luo Mingrong's lap and asked if he could please not become a monk.
Luo Mingrong merely said, "You came for ten thousand taels, Miss Shen. Besides having my child, is it also your task to make this humble monk return to secular life?"
"Miss Shen, what will it take for you to set me free?"
His icy words doused her like a bucket of cold water, snapping her awake.
If Luo Mingrong hadn't said it, Shen Youli would have forgotten.
The Luo family had promised that if she bore a child for the "Jade-Faced Bodhisattva," she would receive ten thousand taels of silver.
Ten thousand taels was enough to make her forget her shame, climb into his arms, loop her arms around his neck and coyly tease him, using her own body as bait.
Enough to force Luo Mingrong to bow his head and become a husband with her in the mountains.
She bore two children in three years, and seven years passed in a flash.
Luo Mingrong was still the same Luo Mingrong, quietly keeping vigil before the Buddha, cold of heart and feeling.
After witnessing him nearly lose his life saving the county princess, Shen Youli felt utterly ashamed. At last, she found peace and severed all ties with him.
Male lead's perspective:
Somewhere along the way, Luo Mingrong's boundless Buddhist wisdom turned into one thought, repeated again and again: Miss Shen.
Miss Shen is greedy;
Miss Shen has many nasty habits;
Miss Shen hasn't been willing to see him for four years.
Later, Miss Shen decided to leave. As she went, she left him with one cruel sentence: "Three years of pretending to love you in exchange for ten thousand taels of silver. Quite a bargain."
If she thought it was such a bargain, then she ought to stay with him for the rest of her life.
Miss Shen would never escape him in this lifetime.
Bonus scene:
Outside the bedroom, two children pounded on the tightly shut door.
"Father, we haven't seen Mother for three days. When is she getting up?"
Luo Mingrong came out in his robe, then closed the bedroom door tightly again, hiding the chaos inside.
"Be good. Your mother is exhausted. She needs a few more days of rest."
P.S. The male lead is a lay Buddhist disciple early on, a monk in the middle (with no romantic development during this stage), and returns to secular life later.
One-on-one, both leads are sexually inexperienced. Neither lead is a strong female or male character. A love-hate romance, old-school melodrama, and a cool, aloof Buddhist monk who bows his head for love.
Coming soon: The Last Spring
Pei Zhuyi, the emperor's maternal uncle, died on the battlefield. When news reached the capital, a pale hand braced against a doorframe as a heavily pregnant woman walked out of his prison.
After carrying the child for ten months, Ying Zhiwei hid the baby she had just given birth to, entered the marquis's residence as an unmarried woman, and schemed desperately to marry the youngest son of the Ming family.
"Cousin." On the capital's Magpie Bridge, she waved her embroidered handkerchief with a graceful, enticing gesture, looking touchingly lovely.
When Ming Hong saw the woman he loved, his eyes lit up. "Third Lady Ying."
The tall man beside him turned around at the same time. His handsome face was like a nightmare, and Ying Zhiwei nearly ran for her life.
The demon who had imprisoned her had returned from hell.
Pei Zhuyi had lost all his memories. He thought she was merely a helpless, delicate young woman, a cousin staying at the Ming residence with nowhere else to go.
Suppressing his stirring feelings, he politely greeted her. "Good day, Third Lady Ying."
Ying Zhiwei's murderous intent surged.
Later, Pei Zhuyi finally remembered that he had set out to vie for the world only because Third Lady Ying had once said she wanted to be empress.
His ways hadn't changed. He still treated the boudoir of an unmarried woman as if it were his own, coming and going as he pleased. He trapped Ying Zhiwei at the foot of the bed and forcibly shoved the empress's golden seal into her hand.
"You can use it to crack walnuts, just don't throw it at my face."
A bird will return to the lake where it once drowned;
fireflies, too, will flee forever through the distant, pitch-black night.
Theme: Take responsibility and learn to make choices.
Damn, why don't you focus on writing sweet emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists in the future? Che's writing is really good, and the emotions in the front are so delicate. Stop writing about machinations and cruelty. The first half is so beautiful, was the second half written by the same person? Oh my god, it's a total meltdown. There are too many drugs in the plot that really fail to highlight the charm of the personality. The relationship between the male and female protagonists cannot be just based on bloodshed. Zhou's writing is broken, and the characters of the male and female protagonists are also broken. Moreover, this is a romance novel! ! Later, the male and female protagonists have a misunderstanding about the child. This part was really not written well! ! I also inserted the second male lead and I almost went crazy. Isn't this adding chaos to chaos? I remember that the male protagonist became a lay disciple in part because of his child, and the female protagonist is just like a child. Who else remembers that this is a romance? [Split]
The first half is so beautiful, but the rest is really hard to describe... I feel sorry for my money...
Very well written! ! ! ! ! ! And Dada is really good at writing about cars hahahahahahahahahaha. Although there are some misunderstandings and twists and turns between the two, the writing pace is also very fast, and the pull between the male and female protagonists is also very interesting. However, in the later period, the male protagonist has been morbidly entangled in the fact that the female protagonist loves her children more than him. I can only say that she deserves it. ! (?????????) Come on!
The author is good at writing about husband and wife affairs, the color is not vulgar, and he has a certain background. There are just a few typos in the article, and it would be better if the content could be more engaging.
It looks great. It's my first time to have a character like this. I really like it.
When will DaDa's new article be published [poor]
My wife's driving skills are really amazing [Cai Dog]
Will Chae'er stage an elopement in the future? When the time comes, she will do it like this. She has already rehearsed her lines.
A very well-paced article. Start from the point of greatest interest to the reader at the beginning, rather than just flashbacks or memories. Except for the later part of the plot that seemed a little anxious, there were almost no chapters that made me feel bored. The hidden plot of each character's identity was well laid out in the early stages. The transition of characters and plot was particularly good and so attractive that I read the entire book in half a day. The description of emotions is very delicate. It does not focus too much on the emotions of the male protagonist or the female protagonist. It only highlights the male protagonist/female protagonist. Instead, it makes them both flesh and blood, and their emotional dramas are gradually added up. Especially the combination of spirituality and rouge is very charming and in line with the times. You can see the author's cultural charm and cooking skills. Really enjoyed this book, it gave me a great afternoon.
