A Wedding in the Tent

Ji Wan is the daughter of a modest household, betrothed to Shen Xu, the younger son of a carpenter. But on the eve of their wedding, Shen Xu regains his identity: he was the Taishi's true-born son, switched at birth. The original heir, Jun Sheng, has already risen to the highest position in court. Fortunately, Jun Sheng is reasonable. He trades places with Shen Xu and becomes the carpenter's younger son, as well as Ji Wan's fiance. Shen Xu wants to transfer the marriage along with their swapped identities, but Jun Sheng laughs darkly and says, "Decency goes both ways. Don't push it." Intimidated by Jun Sheng's influence at court, Shen Xu reluctantly gives up and returns to the life of a wealthy young master. Ji Wan doesn't want to marry a man she's only met a few times, but when she asks to break off the engagement, both families refuse. The wedding banquet goes ahead as planned. Ji Wan can't get past her misgivings and refuses to consummate the marriage. Jun Sheng doesn't force her, keeping her at arm's length while remaining close enough to give her hope. Until one day, after returning from a palace banquet, Jun Sheng grabs Ji Wan by the nape. His breathing is ragged, and he seems to have been drugged. As his wife, she can't turn him away, not emotionally or morally. Ji Wan bites her lip and silently allows what follows. But just as their relationship slowly begins to warm, it turns out the whole "switched at birth" affair was a misunderstanding. His wealth vanishes like a bubble. Though Shen Xu is disappointed, he's also relieved that he can still try to make things right with Ji Wan. Jun Sheng pulls the stunned Ji Wan into his arms and orders his men to throw Shen Xu out. "Wan'er is my lawfully wedded wife. Who do you think you are to covet her?" ##A ruthless, scheming, possessive male lead with a hopeless romantic streak, devoted only to the heroine, and a planned misunderstanding -------Upcoming Novel------- Historical Romance Coming Soon: "Grievances in the Spring Ward" Years later, when they meet again, the gentle and refined crown prince laughs with a sigh. "You've changed quite a bit." She is no longer willful and spoiled, but has become quiet and gentle. Jiang Yinyue says nothing, remembering how she was pushed out of the running back then... She was once a noble-born beauty, the crown prince's childhood sweetheart, spoiled by his favor, arrogant and domineering. She made the old emperor so angry his whiskers bristled. Rather than choose her as a bride for the royal family, he decided to settle for the well-mannered daughter of a minor official. That way, everyone could celebrate a beautiful love story. The crown prince's marriage negotiations were a grand affair. Everyone praised the match as one of beauty and talent, a love that had weathered every hardship and remained steadfast. Jiang Yinyue became a laughingstock. People mocked her, saying the crown prince had been fawning over her only to bring her down, and she'd foolishly served as a foil for the minor official's daughter. The daughter of the minor official was the true treasure the crown prince wanted to hold in his hands. "Yinyue, I can arrange a marriage for you. Pick any talented young man in the court." Was that supposed to be compensation? The words stuck in Jiang Yinyue's throat, and all hope died within her. She shut herself away and was repeatedly scolded by her father for being useless. In a fit of spite, she chose to marry down and wed a poor scholar. Her days passed quietly, like still water. Three years passed in a flash. She accompanied her husband to his new post in the provinces, but they got separated on the road. Just as she found herself in a sorry state, she ran into the crown prince, who was traveling incognito through the south. The crown prince, still as bright and noble as the moon, plans to have a heart-to-heart with Jiang Yinyue to make up for the hurt he'd caused her. But then a handsome, refined man hurries to her door. Wei Qin takes Jiang Yinyue's hand, full of concern. "I'm sorry, my wife. I'm late." Jiang Yinyue is stunned. She's never seen him so flustered. In her memory, Wei Qin has always been so restrained and courteous, never hurrying or losing his composure. The crown prince watches the two of them quietly, his gaze falling on their clasped hands. For some reason, his heart aches. He never imagined that one day he would humbly beg Jiang Yinyue to return to his side.
