A Mistake in Love

Shen Ningyan is a new bride. On the second day after her wedding, she follows custom and goes to pay her respects and serve tea. From afar, she sees her new husband waiting in the covered corridor. Ningyan calls sweetly, “Husband.” The man standing beneath the bird chimes turns around. Only then does she see that he merely resembles her husband. The man’s deep, appraising gaze falls on her. Ningyan hurriedly looks away and leaves. While serving tea, she learns that he is the old madam’s youngest son, Ye Chen. She should call him Uncle. Blushing, Ningyan bows awkwardly. “Greetings, Uncle.” After a long pause, a quiet “Mm” finally comes from above her. Ningyan thinks the matter is now behind them. At a spring banquet, someone pushes her. She accidentally twists her ankle, and her voice trembles as she endures the pain. “Husband.” Her husband and her uncle-in-law, seated among the guests, both turn to look at her. Only later does Ningyan learn that the person who pushed her was her husband’s childhood sweetheart, the treasure of his heart. Heartbroken, Ningyan is grabbed by the chin from behind by Ye Chen, who makes her look at the two people coupling inside the room. “Who should you be calling husband?” * Ye Nanrong is pressured by his elders into marrying a woman he doesn’t love, and he can never accept it. At that moment, his uncle comforts him. “If you’re truly unhappy with this marriage, I can find a way to help.” Ye Nanrong readily agrees. “Thank you, Uncle, for making this possible.” He doesn’t know then that he will regret it. He doesn’t know that everything his uncle does is for his own benefit! The heroine is not a virgin, the hero is. Set in a fictional world combining various historical elements. ----- Pre-release 1: "Beauty as Bait" ----- The day before Hua Li put herself up for hire, the Embroidered Uniform Guard raided the entire Fuxiang Pavilion. Hua Li eventually made her way to Taoyuan Village to live in peace, but she could never shake the habits she’d picked up at Fuxiang Pavilion. Whenever she had nothing to do, she liked to tease and flirt with the village’s handsome young doctor, whose lips were red and teeth were white. Later, the young doctor went to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. Hua Li sighed mournfully, “Don’t forget me,” then promptly put him out of her mind and went off to find new amusement. After that, someone told her that Doctor Lin had passed the imperial examinations and become the top scholar. Hua Li looked bewildered. “Which Doctor Lin?” That very night, the top scholar blocked her door. He sneered at her. “Forgotten? Do you want me to help you remember?” Hua Li: Is this really the same bookworm who used to blush and run away whenever he saw me?! * Lin Heshui saw through the teasing hidden beneath Hua Li’s charming, delicate beauty at a glance. He didn’t call her out. He just watched coldly. After all, he would be leaving soon. Until, on the day he was to leave, tears glittered in her eyes as she begged him not to forget her. Lin Heshui hesitated. Maybe he’d been wrong. Maybe she did have some genuine feelings for him. But when he returned to Taoyuan Village, he realized just how wrong he’d been. She hadn’t been pining for him. She’d already forgotten him completely and was having the time of her life! ----- Pre-release 2: "Possession" ----- In her previous life, Song Miao saved the badly wounded Shen Xiangbai and gave him everything. But once he regained his noble status, he turned around and married a princess, letting Song Miao burn to death in the bridal chamber she had decorated with her own hands. When she opened her eyes again, Song Miao brought Shen Xiangbai home once more. She lifted his handsome, disheveled face in her hands. “I’ll heal your injuries.” How could she? She wanted him to remain unable to stand forever, to lose everything he wanted, and to be unable to go anywhere but her side. Word spread that the heir of the Duke’s residence had died. The princess married another man in tears, mourning him. Song Miao thought Shen Xiangbai would be in pain, but he gazed at her obsessively. “You’re all I have.” She flirted and bantered with others right in front of Shen Xiangbai. His face pale, he smiled and said, “Miaomiao, it’s time to go home.” No matter what she did, he remained humble and patient, until she decided to leave and abandon him for good. She handed Shen Xiangbai a drink laced with a drug, waiting for it to take effect, but she grew dizzier and dizzier. Before losing consciousness, she saw Shen Xiangbai push himself up from his wheelchair and slowly walk toward her. “Miaomiao, why are you leaving? Why are you looking at other people? Can’t you look only at me...?” “You didn’t treat my elder brother like this in your previous life.” Shen Xiangbai’s obsessed gaze held a sickening frenzy. “How much longer do I have to watch you? What do I have to do for you to stay by my side forever?” “I’ll think of something else. I’ll think of something else...” Blurb saved on 2023.11.17 Theme: There is no stronger or weaker partner in love, only people who give themselves willingly
