He was kneeling before her, his bloodstained hand gripping her vermilion wedding dress. Snow covered his head, and his delicate features were as beautiful as jade, like a holy immortal banished from heaven. She begged him to save her life. Then the man took her home. In May, as summer began, Yaoyao curled up barefoot in the man's arms and gazed up at him, whining sweetly: "Husband, you haven't kissed me in two whole days." The man combed her hair, smiling faintly as he closed his eyes. Yaoyao smiled, her eyes curving, and leaned over to kiss his chin. At the Guanyin Temple, she prayed to stay with her husband forever. But then she unexpectedly regained her memories and remembered that she was supposed to go to the capital to become the Crown Prince's secondary consort! Her family were officials, while her husband was just an ordinary commoner. Fearing the Crown Prince's revenge, Yaoyao became heartless and left without a word. Qi Luan had picked up a young woman. She needed fine food and soft clothes. Delicate and tender, she needed constant careful attention, and there was no room for mistakes. Raising a woman is such a hassle, he thought. Amid endless curses, he brought his blade down. His clothes were soaked in blood again and again. He returned home through the night, only to see a lovely, sleepy face poking out from under the covers, giving him a sweet hug. "Husband, you're home." Qi Luan froze, wiping a drop of blood from the corner of his eye. He hid his blades and weapons, then gathered up her skirts. Willingly, he fell into a world of tenderness. Later, the Crown Prince tricked Yaoyao into being offered to a strange man. Through the moonlit gauze, she caught sight of the Prince of Jingnan, a ruthless man commanding a vast army. One look was enough to make her tremble with fear. She dropped to her knees, trembling. "Ninth Imperial Uncle..." The man lowered his eyes, his cool fingertips brushing her flushed cheek. "Good Yaoyao, you should call me husband." Theme: Answer sincerity with sincerity.
