When the second young master of the Yan family returned to the capital, he heard that his wife had fallen ill from sorrow because they had no children, and was likely to die young. He hurried home, but his elder brother woke him up. Only then did he realize it had all been a nightmare.
Then he discovered, to his shock, that he had woken from the dream and returned to his youth.
After recalling the nightmare and calmly thinking it over, the second young master decided to marry his wife early and work hard to get her pregnant.
He had finally managed to cheer up his young wife when she suddenly changed her attitude, avoiding him and even choosing another husband.
How could he allow that?
Watching a matchmaker leave his father-in-law's residence with his wife's birth details in hand and a delighted smile on her face, the second young master acted without hesitation. That night, he climbed over the wall into the Xu family courtyard.
Looking at the frightened young woman on the bed, the young man held a slender finger to his lips. "Shh."
Meeting those dewy almond eyes, he leaned down and gave her a light kiss, coaxing her softly. "Marry me. I'm handsome, and I can give you a beautiful baby."
"Really. I'm not lying."
The fifth young lady of the Xu family came from a scholarly household. Quiet and unassuming, she was a perfect match for the second young master of the General's Mansion, Yan Er. It was a marriage made in heaven.
That was what Xu Qingwei thought at first, too.
Until one day, she had a dream in which she saw her life from another perspective: as a child, she was taciturn and unpopular with her elders; as a young woman, she spent every day with her paintings; after years of marriage, she had no children and eventually died young, consumed by sorrow and regret.
Not long afterward, her husband married someone else and had a child the following year.
One day, she woke up and remembered the dream, her heart aching with sadness. She shook the man sleeping beside her and asked, "If I were to die one day, would you marry someone else?"
The man yawned lazily. "No."
He leaned over, wrapped an arm around her waist, and dragged her into the covers, suddenly very serious. "The child is already so big. Don't say such unlucky things."

A silly beauty × A cool, stern gentleman | Marriage before love | Winning back one's wife after marriage
The Wen family had been an eminent clan for generations, and Wen Minghe had been doted on by her elders since childhood. People said she was spoiled into being arrogant, overbearing, extravagant, and tyrannical. But she only wanted what she wanted.
For example, the eldest son of the He family, He Lingqiu.
Even though he was already the consort the princess had chosen, Wen Minghe thought he was exceptionally handsome and declared that she would marry no one else. Her elders indulged her out of affection, pressuring the He family to send the betrothal gifts and propose marriage, so she got her wish.
But on the day of the wedding, just as her bridal sedan reached the He residence, the entire Wen family was imprisoned for forming a faction for personal gain.
Before she and He Lingqiu could even drink their nuptial wine, the He family hurriedly drove her, their bride of barely half a day, out of the residence, coldly watching as soldiers dragged her into a dark, freezing prison.
Wen Minghe was a pampered young lady and couldn't endure the cruel torture and interrogation in prison. Before long, she died in her cell.
After drawing her last resentful breath, she hazily saw the bridal chamber draped in red silk and realized that she had returned to her wedding night with He Lingqiu.
She didn't want to die. She wanted to live.
Fortunately, she knew full well how much He Lingqiu loathed and disregarded her. She had prepared in advance to force herself on him. Before the bad news could arrive, she used every trick she knew and finally coaxed him into drinking the drugged nuptial wine.
After their night together, Wen Minghe still didn't dare let her guard down.
With the Wen family imprisoned, she was a helpless, friendless young woman. The He family had reluctantly accepted her as their daughter-in-law for now, but in the end, they would never tolerate her.
She wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible and make He Lingqiu willingly become her protector.
She wanted to live a safe, peaceful life, as content and fortunate as she'd been during her first seventeen years.

When He Lingqiu learned that the once-glorious Wen family had suddenly fallen, he was lying amid rumpled, intimate red bedding, with the soft, smooth body of a young woman curled obediently in his arms.
With the marriage already consummated, he could only force down his anger and disgust, keep her in the residence, and warn her to behave herself.
But the young woman didn't give up her usual arrogance and domineering ways. She stirred up trouble everywhere and repeatedly made shameless advances, clinging to him with every trick she could think of.
He Lingqiu was fed up with her crude, laughable schemes. At last, he snapped and warned her coldly, "Didn't the illustrious Wen family teach you anything about propriety, shame, and feminine modesty?"
His words worked immediately. That very night, Wen Minghe reined herself in and became perfectly obedient and quiet. She even avoided him for days, acting meek and placid, but He Lingqiu couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
Only when he saw her sneak out of the residence to meet someone in secret did he realize that she had been seeing someone behind his back and was trying to find another protector.
When the young man found the divorce agreement she had hurriedly drafted and secretly hidden, his face darkened. He crushed the thin sheet of paper into a wrinkled ball in his hand.
