Zhao Jianiang had been fostered in her cousin's house since she was a child. Her dowry was only a cabinet of books, two boxes of clothes and three hundred taels of silver, plus the constant glare from her cousin all the time.
But she was lucky, and was introduced by a matchmaker to Pei Shiliu Lang, the sixth concubine of the Pei family, the leading official family in Hangzhou.
On the day they met, Zhao Jianiang met her husband and a handsome, gentle and polite man. It was only after serving tea on the second day of their marriage that she found out that the man was the legitimate son of Pei's family, her eldest uncle, Pei Dalang.
Jianiang was fascinated by her eldest uncle's charm.
In the following years, the eldest uncle had a smooth career, protected his people, was fair and shrewd, and took great care of his family. Zhao Jianiang couldn't help but think that it would be nice if her husband was like the eldest uncle.
Unfortunately, Jianiang's husband is unmotivated, lazy, gambles, soft-tempered, and dislikes her for having a daughter. Her mother-in-law is mean, stingy, vulgar and disgusting.
Zhao Jianiang didn't want to live like this all her life, so she tried every means to reconcile, but her eldest brother tried to dissuade her, but she didn't change her mind: It would have been better if she had married her eldest brother.
Unexpectedly, her husband died unexpectedly and her mother-in-law forced her to become a widow.
At this time, Pei Dalang didn't want to endure it anymore and asked her, will you marry me?
PS: 1. The male and female protagonists are in love and stop with etiquette. They get along before marriage and there is no cheating.
2. The male protagonist and female protagonist are natives, no time travel
3. Both the male and female protagonists have been married, so if you mind, please don't join in, okay?
Intention: Live seriously and follow your own path!
