I Suddenly Heard Your Heart Stir

My Husband Is Abstinent and Aloof, now updating~

A Wen had no parents and had lived in her brother's country estate since childhood. She knew little of the world.

After she came of age, her brother began looking for a suitable match for her.

On the night she decided to give the Jiang family's young master a chance,

she discovered that her brother seemed like a different person.

By dawn, she had lost her innocence.

A Wen realized there were two of him in this world.

By day, he told her, "You must not cross the line or give in to desire."

At night, he kissed her like a madman, his voice dripping with seduction. "A Wen, he doesn't like you, but I do."

She grew intimate with the man he became at night.

But whenever the immaculate man from the daytime treated her with such care, she felt she was betraying him.

And yet she remained selfish.

On her sixteenth birthday, A Wen ran away with all her hopes.

Later, she heard that the all-powerful minister had gone mad and was searching every province for someone.

Later still, she heard that the famously cold and passionless young master of a great clan had fallen ill with lovesickness and was close to death.

A Wen married in Wangshui Prefecture and lived happily with her husband. When Xie Xuanye found her, she was nestled in the arms of her handsome young husband, using the very mannerisms he had once taught her to laugh and talk with him.

At that moment, he went completely mad.

From the male lead's perspective: Xie Xuanye was the eldest legitimate son of the Xie family of An Commandery. He was a paragon of grace and virtue, modest and courteous. Everyone at court said he followed the way of a gentleman and was upright and honorable.

The entire Xie clan had chosen him as their next patriarch.

Only he knew

what he had done to the little girl who had lived in his country estate since childhood.

It was vile and shameless, his thoughts dark and twisted.

In a secret chamber at the Crown Prince's country estate outside the city, Mu Zhiyi was utterly drunk. She accidentally drank an aphrodisiac and was tormented by unbearable desire.

In a hazy hallucination, a white-robed immortal entered the room. He was handsome and tall. Mu Zhiyi gazed at him in a daze and murmured hoarsely, "Immortal, save me."

Unable to control herself, she lunged at him, and the white-robed immortal became a red-clad demon.

Pei Qingyun, the legitimate son of the Pei family, had been ambushed and gravely wounded, and had hidden in the secret chamber at his friend's estate.

As soon as he entered, a warm body crashed into his arms, reopening his wound and splattering blood across his pale robe.

Pei Qingyun frowned and tried to push her away, but his blood loss left him too weak, and she pinned him to the bed instead. His voice hoarse, he said, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Mu Zhiyi couldn't make out his words and kissed him outright.

Pei Qingyun: "Miss, please show some restraint."

Mu Zhiyi: "I'm not heavy."

She licked her lips and complained, "Why did you bite me?"

Pei Qingyun: "..."

The next morning, Mu Zhiyi woke up sober. She had dreamed a dream, and a lustful one at that. The man in it had been none other than Pei Qingyun, the Pei family's legitimate son who had once entered the Buddhist order.

What a disgrace!

Yet after that, whenever she ran into him, she would instinctively stare at his lean waist, only to rein in her lust when he fixed her with his icy black eyes!

Then one day, Mu Zhiyi secretly went to a medicine shop in the market to buy some herbs. By a twist of fate, word reached Pei Qingyun that she had asked for an abortion. That night, the usually distant and indifferent Pei Qingyun appeared outside her bedroom window. With a serious expression, he said, "An abortion is harmful to your health. I'll come propose tomorrow."

Mu Zhiyi: "...?!"

When Su Yao moved into the Xie family home with her mother, she learned that the lofty, flawless young master was her stepbrother, Xie Xuan.

Before she knew who he was, she had offended him and displeased him.

But Xie Xuan was famous throughout the land, the future patriarch of the Xie clan, and as graceful as an immortal descended from the moonlit heavens. Su Yao was certain he wouldn't hold a grudge against her, much less tell anyone about their past.

She lived comfortably in the household and even used his influence to find herself a suitable husband.

She even asked him to help her meet the young master of the Yun family, on account of their "past affection."

Everything went just as she expected: Xie Xuan simply ignored her.

*

A kind of parasite had been planted inside Xie Xuan when he was young. Every night, he shut himself away, but taking medicine daily kept it under control.

That is, until Su Yao arrived.

Her presence made the parasite inside him increasingly uncontrollable.

She was selfish, vile, and lowborn. Xie Xuan looked down on her, so he pretended she wasn't there.

He even let her use his influence to find a husband.

Until one night, he saw Su Yao meeting the young master of the Yun family in secret, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

The parasite's poison flared inside him.

That night, Xie Xuan used her to suppress it.

After that, the step-sister who had lived in the household suddenly disappeared. And every night, faint sobs from a woman could be heard in the courtyard of the Xie family's cold and restrained eldest legitimate son.

After falling ill and sleeping for a month, Princess Zhaohua, who had yet to be betrothed,

was diagnosed by the imperial physician as pregnant.

Zhaohua stared blankly. "...That's impossible!"

Her younger brother, the emperor, flew into a rage. "What bastard would dare do this to my imperial sister?" Then he turned to Chancellor Xie and said, "I leave the investigation to you, my dear minister. Remember, this concerns my sister's reputation. Keep it quiet."

Chancellor Xie: "I obey."

When the Empress Dowager heard, she was even more furious. She ordered Chancellor Xie, "Once you've found the man, castrate him before having him executed by a thousand cuts. You know what to do."

Chancellor Xie: "I obey."

But by the time the child was born, they still hadn't found the father.

One afternoon, Zhaohua had someone summon Chancellor Xie. Pointing to box after box of tonics and children's toys, she asked him, "It's been so long, and you still haven't found him. Chancellor Xie, are you planning to become the child's father yourself?"

At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the little girl was playing hide-and-seek with someone outside the hall when she accidentally bumped into Chancellor Xie. Someone with a sharp eye saw them and exclaimed in shock, "This, this is uncanny! They're exactly alike, as if one were carved from the same mold!"

That night, Zhaohua arrived at the Chancellor's residence with the child. The little girl, as adorable as a snow-white dumpling, glared at Xie Congnan and huffed, "You're a bad daddy! You even made me call you Uncle!"

Xie Congnan: "..."
