Marrying into a Great Family

Lu Lin was a handsome young master of the Minister’s household, as graceful as a jade tree. He should have had a happy marriage, but on the year he came of age, a country girl showed up at his door with a token. Only then did his grandfather remember that he had once arranged a marriage for his grandson. At his grandfather’s instruction, Lu Lin married the country girl. He naturally didn’t like her. In fact, he loathed her, and after three years of marriage, there was no affection between them at all. He had thought she’d never give up the wealth and status she’d worked so hard to gain. Yet when he told her he wanted to take his teacher’s daughter as a second wife, she replied that they should divorce. Though surprised, he felt relieved and agreed. She took the divorce papers and left, never appearing before him again. * Four years later, Lu Lin’s career had stalled, and he was demoted from the capital to become a county magistrate in Anlu. There, he met Shi Wan, a woman physician known as the “Little Medical Immortal.” Only then did he remember that he had been married to her for three years, and that Anlu was her hometown. But she was nothing like the shallow, ignorant, and scheming woman in his memory. She was beautiful, intelligent, and kind, and the smile that often graced her face stirred his heart like a spring breeze. He decided the little town wasn’t so bad after all, and even thought of taking her back to the capital. After pondering it for a long time, he confessed his feelings to her. She smiled faintly as she dried the herbs beside her, and casually replied, “Lord Lu comes from a distinguished family. Our stations are too different. We’re not suited for each other.” * Seven years ago, Shi Wan had foolishly dreamed of loving someone. He was a young nobleman, while she was merely a country girl from the mountains. She knew they were worlds apart, but still took a chance and married the man who was beyond her reach. She was young then, and thought that her wholehearted love would surely be returned. Only after reality left her utterly battered did she recognize her own foolishness. Her dream hadn’t been a dream at all, but a joke.

He was still unmarried. The year he turned thirty, his mother arranged a marriage for him. He didn’t see his fiancée until the betrothal gifts were delivered. She was dressed particularly brightly, her scarlet skirt cinched tightly at the waist. He lowered his gaze, surprised that his mother had chosen someone like this. But the marriage was already arranged, so he had no choice but to let it go. After they married, he discovered that although his wife was young and charming, she was also gentle and well-mannered. Their daily intimacy gradually made them feel like newlyweds, perfectly in tune with each other. Then one day, a nephew from the extended family visited. When he saw Wen Ji’an’s wife, he looked shocked and dejected, while she drank several extra cups of wine. That night, her face flushed from drink, she clung to the wine jar and refused to let go. She said bitterly, “I finally got to see this day. I became his aunt by marriage, and it’ll drive him mad!” Wen Ji’an’s expression darkened.
