After one reckless night, Yaoyi’s reputation was ruined. Rumors spread that she had been tricked and violated.
While the gossip raged, an imposing carriage stopped outside the Yuan family’s courtyard. Yaoyi knew she could no longer stay at home. With her father sighing, she resolutely climbed into the carriage.
Nervous, she was taken to a large estate. Several days later, she finally met Zhan Duo.
He had an air of nobility and the aloof bearing of a lofty pine. His gaze upon her was distant.
Yaoyi had no intention of ingratiating herself with him. She was simply looking for somewhere to stay for the time being, since she had nowhere else to go.
She was always careful to keep her distance and never went out of her way to impose on Zhan Duo. She would leave when the time was right.

Zhan Duo went to his maternal grandfather’s home to celebrate his birthday. Someone with ulterior motives persuaded him to drink, and afterward, he lost control and slept with a woman.
As a proud son of a noble family, he ought to take responsibility for his mistake. But the Zhan family was a prestigious clan, and there was no way he could marry the woman.
She was barely literate and knew nothing of music. Even her voice was soft. Fortunately, she was well-behaved, so he thought he could take her as a concubine later, which would be the least he could do for her.
But when he returned from a trip, the gatekeeper handed him a wedding invitation from the countryside.
The kind-hearted Madam Zhan had found Yaoyi a match. The man was said to be decent, and the wedding date had already been set.
When Zhan Duo hurried to the little courtyard in the countryside, he saw Yaoyi sewing her wedding dress by candlelight.
When she saw him, Yaoyi stood up with a radiant smile. “Young Master, you’ve got the date wrong.”
Zhan Duo’s gaze darkened. Just as he had on the day he was tricked, he clamped his arms around her as she pushed him away again and again.
He held her close. “You said you’d wait for me to come back...”
Please add my upcoming novel, Zhuang Zhuang, to your collection!
On her way home, Ji Zhuangzhuang’s carriage was attacked by bandits, and she fell out. Before losing consciousness, she saw a handsome young man rescue her.
When she woke, she was blind. As she panicked, the young man stayed by her side and cared for her. He promised to take her home, and only then did she gradually calm down.
The young man was honorable and kept his word. Ji Zhuangzhuang fell for him and would sometimes find her way to his room to keep him company and talk. The night before she returned home, she even gave him a sachet.
After she returned, her father saw how she felt and sounded the young man out about marriage. After some thought, he agreed.
*
A year later, Ji Zhuangzhuang’s eyesight had recovered. She traveled north for her wedding and met her future husband. He had grown taller, and every movement showed his composure.
She recognized the sachet at his waist. Though he seemed like a stranger now, she shyly tugged at his sleeve. “My dear.”
He Ling, the eldest son of the He family, had striking looks and had attained high office at a young age. Looking down at the girl as she leaned close to him, he curled his cool lips into a faint smile. “Mm.”
Their married life was blissful, and they got along wonderfully, except that Ji Zhuangzhuang found him rather rough at night.
One afternoon, a man barged into the courtyard. It was the Fifth Young Master, who had just returned after a long absence. Ji Zhuangzhuang, who had been admiring the flowers, froze. The man before her was clearly the young man who had rescued her a year ago.
He’s eyes were red, his voice hoarse. “Zhuangzhuang, why did you marry him?”
Ji Zhuangzhuang felt as though she’d been struck by lightning. “My dear...”
A tall figure came over and stepped between them.
He Ling glanced at the frozen Ji Zhuangzhuang, then wrapped an arm around her and looked coldly at the man opposite. “How dare you! Show your sister-in-law some respect!”
Theme: Make the most of your time, be true to yourself, keep striving, and build a beautiful tomorrow.
Please accept the pre-released article "Zhuangzhuang" Encountering thieves on her way home, Ji Zhuangzhuang fell from the carriage and saw a handsome man who rescued her before she passed out. After she woke up, she was blind. When she was panicking, her husband had been taking care of her and promised to take her home, so her mood gradually stabilized. Ji Zhuangzhuang admired the husband for his upright character and did what he said. From time to time, he would go to his room and talk with him. Even more, the night before going home, a sachet was given out. After returning home, the father saw what his daughter was thinking and tried to talk to the man about getting married. The latter thought about it and nodded in agreement. A year later, Ji Zhuangzhuang, who had recovered her eyes, went north to get married and met her future husband. After a long time, he has become taller and his movements are calm. She recognized the sachet on his waist, and even though it felt unfamiliar, she shyly tugged on the corner of his sleeve: Alang. He Ling, the eldest son of the He family, is described as outstanding and holds a high position at a young age. With his eyes lowered, he saw the girl approaching intimately, and the corners of his lips curled up coldly: Yes. The days after the marriage were sweet and oily. Except for the heavy makeup at night, the couple was very harmonious. One afternoon, a man rushed into the courtyard. He was the fifth young master who had returned home after a long absence. Ji Zhuangzhuang, who was admiring the flowers, was stunned. The person in front of her was clearly the husband who saved her a year ago. He Wu's eyes were red and his throat was hard: Zhuangzhuang, why did you marry him? Ji Zhuangzhuang felt like she was struck by lightning: Alang... A tall figure came over and stood directly between the two of them. He Ling glanced at the frozen Ji Zhuangzhuang, wrapped his arms around her side, and looked at the other side with a cold expression: "You are so arrogant, don't be rude to your sister-in-law!"
It was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. The two people finally came together and watched such a high-ranking person like Zhan Duo slowly walk into Yaoyi's heart! So touched?
