After Sharing Spring Dreams with the Aloof Heir

[Marriage First, Love Later] [Shared Dreams] [The Male Lead Eats His Words]

Fan Yuying knew her new husband did not like her.

She had a terrible reputation, and everyone in the capital avoided her. But a mishap led her to marry Gu Zhen, heir to the Marquis of Dingbei. Everyone said she had gotten the better end of the bargain.

On their wedding night, Gu Zhen laid down rules for her, telling her to behave herself and watch her words. The very next day, he left her alone at the tea ceremony, citing official duties.

Fan Yuying did not care, because she had been reborn.

She had originally planned to wait two years, change the fate of her family, who had been destroyed in her previous life, and then divorce Gu Zhen. But as her memories of her previous life gradually returned, she suddenly realized Gu Zhen was crucial to changing her family's fate.

She also uncovered something that left her shocked...

*

Gu Zhen, heir to the Marquis of Dingbei, became a vice minister of the Court of Judicial Review at just twenty-three. Young, accomplished, and peerlessly handsome, he was the dream man of countless noble young ladies in the capital.

But Gu Zhen had a secret.

Three months ago, he had suddenly begun dreaming. In his dreams, he became entangled with a woman whose face he could not make out. Curiously, her voice sounded somewhat like that of his new wife.

But the woman in his dreams was gentle and considerate.

His new wife, on the other hand, was spoiled and overbearing, mistreating the servants. Her temperament and behavior were not to his liking at all. After their wedding, he simply slept elsewhere, unwilling to share a bed with her.

Unexpectedly, before long, his wife quietly changed. She became considerate, attentive, virtuous, and gentle, as if she could read his mind. He found himself caring about her more and more, even feeling guilty toward her because of the woman in his dreams, and doing his best to fulfill all her requests.

He thought that if she continued to follow the rules, there was no reason they could not live together as husband and wife in peace.

But one day, he came home drunk and entered her bedroom, only to find her eyes alluring and her arms, soft as lotus roots, wrapped around his neck. In the special way the woman from his dreams addressed him, she said,

"Yun Lang, why did you only come now..."

*

Fan Yuying used her identity in the dreams to pass messages to Gu Zhen, while outside the dreams she played the virtuous wife he wanted. Working together, the two sides gradually led Gu Zhen into the trap she had prepared. Seeing the things she wanted to do getting settled one by one, she began preparing to leave him and divorce him in the future.

But that night in the dream, Gu Zhen gazed at her with dark eyes and asked, "Fan Yuying, where do you think you're running?"

She jolted awake, only to find the man beside her had pinned her firmly beneath him.

In the end, she could not escape him, in the dreams or in the waking world.

After five years away on a campaign, Song Siyan only remembered that he had a wife he had met once when he returned victorious to the capital.

The war had been urgent then, and his family had hastily chosen a woman to marry him so he would have an heir. Song Siyan could no longer remember what she looked like. He only vaguely recalled that the fifteen-year-old girl was thin and frail, young and timid, and had cried terribly beneath him on their wedding night.

Not long afterward, a letter arrived from the capital saying that the Shen woman had asked to be released from the marriage.

Song Siyan understood that his mother disliked Shen's humble background. Since Shen had waited for him for five years, he decided he would compensate her after returning to the capital, then let them part on good terms.

On the way, the army passed through Lingzhou. A sudden downpour forced them to stop there, and the prefect of Lingzhou presented a curvaceous beauty.

*

With the three hundred taels her mother-in-law gave her, Shen Jia happily left the Song household, where she had suffered for five years, and headed south to live with her aunt. But she ran into bandits on the road and was passed from hand to hand until she was presented to the newly appointed Marquis of Yongding.

Drugged, Shen Jia's face flushed like a rosy cloud, and she glistened with sweat. Looking at the handsome, dignified man before her, she hesitated for a long time before reaching out for help to her former husband.

Shen Jia knew Song Siyan had not recognized her. Afterward, she made up a story about being a widowed woman who had been kidnapped and tearfully begged him to let her go home.

At first, Song Siyan agreed.

Later, after repeatedly savoring her, the man changed his mind...

*

Unwilling to return to the wolf's den that was the Song household, Shen Jia fled one night as they drew closer and closer to the capital.

But she had not even made it a mile before Song Siyan and his men blocked her way.

"You're carrying my child, madam. Where are you going?"

When her identity was exposed, Shen Jia trembled.

"My lord, we are already divorced."

The man's gaze darkened.

"I never agreed!"

Everyone in Qingshan Village envied Li Jingniang for finding such a handsome husband. He was skilled at every chore and treated her and the child with great care and tenderness.

But in the third year of their marriage, her husband regained his memories. He turned out to be the noble heir to the Anyang Marquis's residence in the capital, and Li Jingniang suddenly became the heir's wife.

People in the capital all said Li Jingniang was lucky. An illiterate country girl had flown up a branch and become a phoenix.

Only Li Jingniang knew how agonizing every day at the marquis's residence was.

Her mother-in-law called her uncouth and feared she would teach the children badly, so she forcibly took her daughter away. Li Jingniang pleaded with her husband to speak to his mother, but the man who had once been so tender toward her had become someone she no longer recognized after returning to the capital. He frowned and told her to stop making a fuss.

Rumors that she was about to be divorced spread everywhere in the residence.

Heartbroken, Li Jingniang decided one night to leave the marquis's residence and return to her village. Startled, she fell from the wall.

*

Cheng Zhaoheng had been terribly troubled lately. His wife, who had fallen while climbing over the wall in the middle of the night, had been unconscious for a day and a night. When she woke, she had lost four years of memories and no longer recognized him.

Not only that, she had become the outspoken, unrestrained girl she had been at fifteen.

She defied the mother-in-law who punished her and openly mocked her sisters-in-law.

She even took the children in the household up trees to catch birds and into the water to fish,

completely upending the manners and rules of the family.

She was wary and resistant toward him too, repeatedly sending him to the front courtyard and refusing to share his bed.

Cheng Zhaoheng had no choice but to comfort himself that everything would return to normal once Li Jingniang regained her memories.

Even if she never did, she would surely gradually come to admire him, just as she had three years ago, and devote herself to him, tempering her nature for his sake.

He believed this without a doubt, until one day he saw his wife, who avoided him as if he were a snake or scorpion, gazing admiringly at a young, muscular charcoal seller as she said,

"I don't see anything good about that heir. He always wears a stern face, like a block of ice. If I divorce him, I'd choose to remarry a kind, dependable, hardworking man like Brother Xie."

*

After catching his wife when she tried to escape for the second time after regaining her memories, Cheng Zhaoheng locked her in their bedroom. Every night, amid her dazed gasps, he forced her to look at him, his eyes bloodshot as he hoarsely repeated,

"Jingniang, I am your husband. I am the husband you love most..."
