The Strategist's Wife

In the twenty-eighth year of Yongkang,

the lost imperial grandson was brought back by the emperor and placed on the throne.

His first act after ascending the throne was to defy the whole world and forcibly marry a minister's divorced wife.

*

When he first met her,

Ran Suwen was the eldest daughter-in-law of a minister appointed to guide the young emperor.

When he saw her again,

Ran Suwen had retreated to a cold, quiet temple, keeping company with a lone lamp.

But whether Ran Suwen was living in a grand mansion

or in a dilapidated temple,

the hand she held out to Shi Qiandu was always so warm. She said, "I'll hold your hand."

The mad, violent young wolf clamped his teeth around her sleeve and followed the beautiful, kind, frail, sickly woman step by step, as if he'd become a well-behaved puppy.

*

When she first met the boy, he was fleeing for his life.

Ran Suwen took him to her husband's family home, the Xu residence, where he spent the night.

The next time she saw him, he'd killed seven people in one night.

He collapsed outside the temple where she kept vigil, and she dragged him inside.

He'd been so pitiful and unlucky both times they met that Ran Suwen came to think of him as her own younger brother.

People often said he was vicious and terrifying,

but watching him behave so obediently in front of her, Ran Suwen simply couldn't believe it.

She never imagined that one day he'd return with the imperial guards and take her hand, saying, "Susu-jie, come home with me."

He rarely smiled, but that day his smile was radiant.

His bewitchingly beautiful face and dark eyes fixed on Ran Suwen, like a hungry wolf about to pounce.
