Dying Together on Our Wedding Night

The second daughter of the Yun family had suddenly changed her ways lately. When delicacies from land and sea were set before her, she said she had no appetite. When fashionable clothes and jewelry were laid out for her, she sighed and shook her head. Even when gold, silver, and jewels were brought before her, she couldn't muster the slightest interest.

Her parents were worried sick. Their youngest daughter had always loved food and fun, and been a little miser!

Since being reborn, Yun Ying had only two thoughts in her heart: I want to die, I want to die, I want to die.

The question she asked her maid most often was: How can I die, how can I die, how can I die?

What she said to her parents most often was: Let me die, let me die, let me die.

Then her gentle and considerate elder sister returned to the residence. Remembering how, in her previous life, her sister had married into the Xie family and been tormented by Xie Xuan until she died of depression in less than a year, Yun Ying made up her mind: she still wanted to die, but she would die in the Xie household, preferably taking Xie Xuan with her.

Much later, Xie Xuan gave her a booklet listing all kinds of ways to die. None of them seemed very dignified. As Yun Ying frowned and fretted over it, she asked Xie Xuan which way he would choose. Xie Xuan leaned close to her ear and chuckled. "I choose..." His voice was low and husky as he enunciated each word: "To die of pleasure."

Xie Xuan was the legitimate son of the Xie family head, a man of noble character and high standing. Yet from childhood, he had suffered from a strange affliction. At night, he was restless and irritable, enduring pain like a knife grinding into his bones. He had tried countless ways to cure it, all to no avail, and feared he would be tormented by it for the rest of his life. Until he discovered that his new wife could ease his suffering...

But now that she no longer wanted to kill herself, why was she always thinking about divorcing him?

He kept wondering how to "keep" her. Then, one night, after the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, she once again opened his robes, and Xie Xuan suddenly felt that he had been worrying too much all along.
