When the young lord of Xuan City takes the throne, the other three cities offer handsome men in an attempt to win over Xuan Ruo, who has just lost her husband and to whom they wish to pledge their alliance.

In the resplendent hall, the woman wears a black crown, her gaze cool and distant.

Her eyes sweep over the group of colorful men and then stop. She curves her lips into a faint smile and points at the lord of Yuan City, who had come to offer someone else in marriage. “I want him.”

*

Everyone laughs at the lord of Yuan City for having no dignity, willingly becoming a man’s husband and a delicate flower in the inner quarters.

But the man in question only smiles. “You just don’t understand.”

A little scene

How do you turn a mistress into a wife?

Yuan Shi leans against Xuan Ruo’s shoulder, his handsome, aloof face pale as he coughs weakly. “There’s no secret. Just dig out your heart and make your beloved pity you.”

In truth, he uses himself as bait.

Sui Ning:

Sweet little princess x scheming, ambitious puppy

Princess Sui Ning is spoiled and innocent, the apple of the emperor’s eye.

She falls in love with Xie Jing when she is young, and humbles herself to the utmost to become his wife.

He calls her overbearing and flamboyant, so Sui Ning learns to be gentle and yielding. He complains that she lacks charm, so she learns the tricks of the pleasure houses. Then he says she isn’t virtuous enough, so she studies the Admonitions for Women, throws away her dignity as a princess, and willingly becomes a laughingstock just to let Xie Jing take a concubine.

He repeatedly promises, “Your Highness, I’ll never betray you. She’ll only ever be a concubine.” But when danger comes, he chooses someone else.

When Sui Ning opens her eyes again, she is back one month after her wedding. The man before her stands protectively in front of his concubine. “Your Highness, she’s already a concubine. Why are you still making things difficult for her?”

Years of love turn to cold ashes.

She looks at Xie Jing with unfamiliar eyes and a cold smile. “Xie Jing, you don’t need to suffer anymore. From now on, she won’t be a concubine.” She will no longer be the Xie family’s wife.

*

Pei Xing, the general who protects the north, is ruthless and has killed countless people. The people of Jiang know him as the Night Rakshasa.

But no one knows that this man harbors a filthy desire.

He wants Princess Sui Ning, and he wants to possess her forever.

A little scene

On the day Sui Ning and Pei Xing marry, Xie Jing barges in.

He excitedly tells everyone that the female physician was sent by Pei Xing, whose ambition is to tear him and Sui Ning apart.

Pei Xing turns pale, and the hand holding Sui Ning’s begins to tremble. Sui Ning slowly removes her veil and gently squeezes his hand. With a serious expression, she says, “Xie Jing, this was never about anyone else. I simply don’t want you anymore.”

*

Pei Xing, how long have you waited for me?

For a very, very long time. At last, you’ve turned around to look at me.

Han Zhu:

At sixteen, Yang Baozhu marries into the Marquis of Xuannan’s household and becomes Song Lan’s wife.

They grew up together and married young. He picks spring peach blossoms, June water lilies, and winter plum blossoms for her. When the whole household blames her for being unable to bear children, he steadfastly stands by her side and tells her, “Don’t be afraid, darling.”

Yang Baozhu thinks they are a perfectly matched couple, in harmony like a zither and lute, until a woman kneels before her with a young child and begs her permission to enter the household as a concubine.

Yang Baozhu is struck as if by lightning. What hurts even more is that her husband, who has always doted on her, now seems like a complete stranger.

He says coldly, “Baozhu, you should know better.”

So he had loved someone else all along. In the end, an old love could never compete with a new one.

In that moment, Yang Baozhu’s heart crumbles to ash.

She leaves behind a divorce agreement and quietly slips out of the marquis’s residence on a snowy day.

She doesn’t know that after she leaves, Song Lan is consumed with regret and stands all night in the falling snow.

From then on, he plunges into an endless hell.

No goddess will ever come to save him again.

*

When they meet again, Song Lan looks haggard, staring fixedly at Yang Baozhu as she chats and laughs with the new Minister of Justice.

He is jealous, crazed with jealousy.

Song Lan steps forward, grabs the woman’s slender wrist, and gazes at her with maddened devotion.

Yang Baozhu calmly pulls her hand free and smiles radiantly.

“Marquis, men and women should keep their distance. Please let go.”

That night, Song Lan, who has always been so restrained and proper, climbs over the wall into the Yang residence like a thief.

He pulls the woman into his arms. The jealousy he felt all day seems ready to burn him to ashes, but in the end, he softens his voice, his eyes pleading, his humility etched to the bone. “Baozhu, please look at me just once more.”

P.S. Angsty tropes, everything is a misunderstanding, and the female lead is an Aquarius. When she’s in love, she becomes a hopeless romantic, but once she sees clearly, she lets go at once. Both leads are chaste. Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium.
