The main story is complete!
Shen Shuyan was a general’s daughter, with skin as fair as snow, a flowerlike beauty, and a spoiled, willful nature.
When her family fell on hard times, her father used a life-saving favor as leverage to make Pei Heng, the chief minister of the court, marry her and protect her.
On the very day Shen Shuyan moved into his home as his wife, she learned that Pei Heng loved someone else.
Their marriage had been forced upon him, so after the wedding she suppressed her true nature and did her best to fulfill her duties as a wife. Pei Heng, meanwhile, would disappear for ten days or half a month at a time. That was bad enough, but even intimacy had to be scheduled in advance.
In the end, because she had borne him no children, her mother-in-law wanted him to take a concubine.
The very woman he had always loved.
Shen Shuyan thought Pei Heng had at least a little genuine affection for her, but he agreed without a second thought.
After living so cautiously in every way since their wedding, Shen Shuyan could take no more. “Divorce. We absolutely have to divorce!”
Whoever wants this bastard can have him!
*
Pei Heng became an official at a young age, and before he had even turned thirty, he was already chief minister of the cabinet. Deeply calculating by nature, he had never cared for romance. He had married the Shen girl only to repay a debt of gratitude to an old friend.
After the wedding, she was attentive and considerate, always doing as he wished, even going along with him in bed. They were not exactly in love, but they treated each other with mutual respect.
He never imagined that such a gentle woman would be the one to ask for a divorce.
Pei Heng was not the sort to force someone to stay. When trying to make her change her mind proved useless, he had no choice but to agree.
Who could have guessed that on the very night of their divorce, Shen would hit her head and, upon waking, insist that she was fourteen and had become a completely different person?
At first, Pei Heng thought he was only indulging Shen because of their past. As soon as she got better, he would send her back to her family.
Until one day, he caught her sneaking off to meet someone else.
Behind a rockery where no one went in the afternoon, the little wife who used to be so gentle and affectionate with him tugged on the other person’s sleeve and said coyly, “Seventh Brother, when are you going to come to my house to ask for my hand?”
At that moment, Pei Heng, who had lived for twenty-eight years, experienced jealousy for the first time.

A little bonus scene:
Shen Shuyan dresses up carefully to meet the man she loves.
Before they can say more than a couple of words, her beloved looks past her and calls out cheerfully, “Uncle Nine.”
Shen Shuyan turns around. A man in purple robes, wearing fine jade, with a peerlessly handsome face and a brooding gaze, is staring at her.
It is none other than Pei Heng, the famously heartless chief minister of the court.
She remembers waking up in his bed that morning. In her panic, she had followed her beloved’s lead and called him “Uncle Nine.”
Uncle Nine’s expression turns severe, as if he could eat her alive.
Shen Shuyan: “...”
Eek, he’s so scary!

Premise: Learn to understand and respect
In the main text, the male and female protagonists couldn't get enough of the curious male protagonist's younger brother. Why did they ban me even though they knocked him so hard [crying]
The deputy CP has a good time, boys and girls are the best ones to have a good time with.
Very nice! There are no messy plots or family hatred and national hatred, just a sweet love like this! It's all my xp! I love it so much. The only small problem I have is that the descriptions in some places are too repetitive. I only use those few words throughout the article, such as the pen broke and the throat rolled. The rest are very nice!
It's too late, there's nothing left [crying] [crying] [crying]
Ah [crying] [crying] [crying] Xingyi and Pei Jue are here
I still feel that forgiveness is too easy
It sounds like my brother and sister are too orthopedic.
I like reading this kind of craziness. Does the author have any books with this type of male protagonist?
[Star Eyes][Star Eyes] This book is really good-looking and well-written.
At the end, it was discovered that the two maids did not come. Is Dan Yan Qingyun such a cannon fodder?
And why does Mrs. Zhao feel so disgusted with her? It's just that she has something wrong and it's reasonable.
