Sorry, but I'm putting this story on hold for now because of real-life demands and a lack of inspiration. I've tried to write several times, but couldn't get anything down. There must be a problem with the outline and pacing, so I'll review and rewrite it later (drops to her knees).
*Possessive pursuit / love rival / winning her back: A gentle noblewoman x a ruthless commander. If you're passing by, please add it to your favorites~
Xu Wangning was stunningly beautiful, radiant and charming. She was not only virtuous and accomplished, but also exceptionally talented, and had a marriage that made everyone envious.
Her life had been smooth sailing.
And yet...
Just as she thought she could live out the rest of her life in happiness, a sudden upheaval plunged the Xu family into ruin.
After asking everyone she could for help, she finally found a chance to turn things around. She arranged to meet someone outside the Imperial Prison at an appointed time, but mistook Pei Jian, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, for her contact.
Pei Jian did not correct her. He led her to a courtyard.
By moonlight, Xu Wangning finally saw the insignia on his belt. She stumbled back in terror, and just as she was about to fall, he pulled her into his arms.
His warm breath brushed her ear, along with the barely restrained desire of the man beside her.
“Marry me, and I'll let them go.”
“From now on, you will be my wife.”
*
Years had passed since they parted. The frail young man Xu Wangning had once saved had risen to become the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, overseeing the law and punishment throughout the land.
Unfortunately, she no longer remembered him, and she was already engaged to someone else.
Pei Jian thought that if she could live a happy, healthy life, then he would gladly watch over her from afar forever, without ever approaching her.
But that scoundrel had dared to deceive her.
Her fiance put on a refined, spotless facade, but behind her back he flirted with other women and even belittled her in front of others.
That day, Pei Jian lay awake all night.
At last, he understood: how could he simply hand over the woman he regarded as his moon, the one he held so dear?
He would have to find an opportunity to take the groom's place.
