[Marriage first, love later. Aloof, ruthless man x sweet, gentle young lady]
Yan Baiwei is beautiful as the moon, gentle and serene, but she is an unloved concubine-born daughter. When the emperor issues an imperial decree arranging her marriage, she is made to take the place of the bride and marry Ling Pei, the youngest son of the Duke of Lingguo.
The man became famous after winning a battle as a young soldier. At the start of the year, he also conquered Gaul, which had long threatened the Great Yong Dynasty, and his reputation soared. Unfortunately, he has always been cold and distant. It is also rumored that he was injured down there while fighting on the battlefield and can no longer perform as a man. This is why the daughters of many noble families are unwilling to marry him. Who would want to marry him only to live as a widow?
Yan Baiwei has always been careful and meek. How could she dare complain? After the wedding, she has only one thought: she may not be good at anything else, but she can cook pretty well. As long as she takes good care of her husband and holds on to her status as the Duke of Lingguo's third daughter-in-law, her birth mother and little sister should no longer be bullied by the Yan family. So be it if she has to live as a widow.
But the Duke's household is no easy place to live. And there are plenty of people outside waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Later, the cold and distant man's childhood sweetheart returns to the capital, saying she doesn't care whether he can perform as a man. The whole capital starts saying that Ling Pei is going to divorce her. Yan Baiwei thinks that if she lives frugally, the money she has saved over the past six months should be enough to support her mother and sister for a while. She can find a way to earn more later. Fine, let him divorce her.
So obedient is she that she has even prepared the divorce papers.
Unexpectedly, the day before she is to leave, Ling Pei does something unprecedented. He personally takes a jade bracelet and puts it on her wrist in front of everyone, then takes her hand. "A divorce? Who agreed to that?"
[Bonus scene]
One night, Yan Baiwei suddenly remembers the rumor that Ling Pei was unable to perform as a man. Rubbing her sore legs, she looks at the man beside her and wonders: how on earth did that rumor get started?
Dual virgins, one-on-one romance.
Set in a fictional world.
The heroine is not a naive, innocent girl.

A Prestigious Marriage
At a poetry banquet, Ji Xingzhi casually points at Lin Shuyue, bringing about their marriage despite the vast difference in their social standing.
Lin Shuyue comes from a modest family and has lived by the rules since childhood. After marrying into a powerful household, she is constantly walking on eggshells.
After the wedding, she is cautious in everything she does, keeping her head down and living like a turtle with its head tucked in.
Only when Miss Chen arrives in the capital does she learn that Ji Xingzhi married her hastily because his heart had long belonged to someone else. He only married her to appease his family, who kept urging him to wed.
Lin Shuyue is unfazed. If anything, she's a little happy, and takes even better care of Ji Xingzhi's meals and daily needs than before.
Only occasionally, in the quiet of night, does she secretly count her private savings. She cheerfully thinks that once she has saved a little more, she can get a divorce and find a handsome young man who knows how to treat her well.

So it turns out she never loved him...

I read it in a hurry, but I didn't like it in the middle. The parents are short-tempered and verbose, and the story line is not long. There is so much to write, and it is hard to read. I regret it, can I get a refund?
Can the author add less "I" when writing character dialogue? It seems weird to read it if it keeps repeating. Deleting it does not affect the content at all. In fact, almost everyone likes to add this "I" when speaking. It is obviously the author's own habit rather than the speaking habit of the character. There is obviously a more concise way of expression.
Chu Nu said this as if the male protagonist had liked her before, but later alienated her because of her eldest brother's accident. Did the hero really like her? Ling Yi and the old lady can be considered evil people, but it's a pity that the result was too good 😂. Looking forward to the extra episode
So what is the origin of this Chu, so many poisons?
Finally finished reading Actually it's not bad But the author made a lot of typos Some words are repeated or the order is a bit confusing I wish the author would check more before posting. After all, it really affects reading.
I like it overall, but I don't know why I feel sorry for the heroine about Jiang Qingshu's line. I think it's outrageous that you said the person involved didn't know about the rumors circulating in the city, but the hero never thought of taking the initiative to explain. He never thought of introducing his friends to the heroine, nor did he want to These rumors would make the heroine sad. Even if he found out later, his reaction was just that she was jealous. He never thought about how much ridicule and sadness he suffered because of this heroine. In the end, the whole thing passed lightly. It seemed that no one could fault it, but it was really frustrating. The conversation between the heroine and Jiang Qingshu at the end was really not handled well, and it seemed like it was all because the heroine mistakenly believed the rumors. The plot of rumors is also handled too instrumentally. Rumors that are spread all over the city and even by people around them, and the person involved feels that they are just outsiders messing around, which is outrageous. Jiang Qingshu's character was handled very well in the early stage. It was very smart not to write too much about the emotional plot. If it was written too much, it would fall apart. But I still want to say that the flaws are not outweighed by the fact that the plot line is a bit protracted and complicated, and I feel a little frustrated in my personal senses. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I still like it after watching it. I need to cheer up???
2024.08.17 Not bad!
"There is no end to the banquet" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Not leaving
I remember that Concubine Yan was demoted earlier.
Then there will be another extra story about Feixue
