[Marriage first, love later|The second male pursues love at the crematorium & asks for it but cannot get it]
1.
Chaoyun suddenly became an orphan when she was four years old. General Lu took pity on her being helpless and took little Chaoyun into his mansion to raise her.
The third son, Lu Jin, has a handsome appearance and is already radiant at a young age. He beat away those who bullied Xiao Chaoyun, looked at her pity, and said proudly: "From now on, you will follow me, and I will protect you!"
Because of this sentence, for more than ten years in the future, Chaoyun and he would be exposed to the scorching sun and rolling in the rain, with a secret heart.
Once something unexpected happened, the Lu family wanted to marry a family of civil servants and become friends of the Qin and Jin Dynasties in order to solve their urgent needs.
It's not that the Lu family doesn't have any young ladies, so Chaoyun never thought that this marriage would fall on him.
She found Lu Jin, looked at him, and asked, "Shall I marry you?"
"Master Shen is a young and talented man, and he is the only son in the Shen family. It is a good match."
"Okay, I understand. Chaoyun, thank you... Third Brother... For the phase mask for the past twelve years."
On Chaoyun's wedding night, Lu Sanlang looked in the direction of Shen's mansion. The memories of the two of them getting along in the past twelve years flashed before his eyes, and he felt unspeakable boredom and blockage in his heart.
At a certain moment, the crazy idea of snatching Ayun back came to his mind. He closed his eyes, took a big gulp of wine, picked up his sword and practiced it until it lost its strength.
That night, he drank alone on the porch and sat there until dawn.
After that, from time to time, he would call her naturally, "Ayun."
After receiving no response for a long time, he raised his head and realized later that she was no longer beside him.
At a banquet, he watched Shen Mu and Chao Yun make love with each other with cold eyes, and a string in his mind gradually stretched to the extreme.
The moment he heard someone calling her "Mrs. Shen", the string broke under the load, and the blood in his body was boiling and screaming. He let the absurd thought that popped up from time to time and was suppressed again and again, now like a raging fire, burning up all his sanity.

"Ayun, you and I have been together for twelve years, how affectionate have we been! And now you are pointing a knife at me for the sake of an outsider?"
"He is my husband. My parents died young. He is the closest person to me in this world. Seriously, between us, we are the outsiders."
"If you want to kill my husband, step over my body first!"

Shen Mu fell in love with the last girl, but she already had a crush on her. He guarded silently and never disturbed.
At that time, he didn't know that one day, the moon in the distance would fall into his arms.
