The Woman Who Won the Heart of the Ice-Cold Beauty

Inline comments are open, no restrictions! Blurb: Zhao Luoluo transmigrates into a book and becomes the mother of the tragic heroine in The Young Lady. Looking at the story as a whole, half of the heroine's hardships before marriage are caused by this meek, submissive mother. The heroine is thirteen. She spent the first three years of her life suffering in the countryside, then was missing for ten years. When she was finally found, she couldn't recognize a single character, but she still had a strong will. The heroine's father comes from a family of scholars. He is aloof, self-possessed, upright, and rigidly conventional. His wife and daughter are nothing but icing on the cake to him. Zhao Luoluo doesn't want to keep playing the dutiful wife of a respectable family: she has to honor her in-laws, deal with her demanding husband, manage the household, and endure being called "a fool of a woman who can't bear a son." When peaceful negotiations for a divorce fail, she goes mad. * Li Jiu is the Crown Prince, but he has no desire for the throne. His loyal advisers can't bear to watch him surrounded by enemies, so they implore him to visit the Wang family three times and seek the support of a branch of their scholarly clan. The Crown Prince, who is fed up with their nagging and afraid of blood, finally enters the Wang residence on a rainy day, looking back every few steps. That day, beneath the covered walkway, he sees a graceful, dignified woman. A man stands beside her, presumably her husband. The two cross the courtyard toward the moon gate. Their servant holds an umbrella, but it can shelter only one person from the rain. Naturally, the man takes it. A woman giving way to her husband is nothing unusual. But the woman simply knocks the oil-paper umbrella out of his hand. It lands in the rain. Beyond the low wall, the garden is filled with yellow ginkgo leaves, and the ground is slick with water. Her shoes and stockings will surely get soaked, but she doesn't care. She walks away into the misty rain. Through a curtain of rain, Li Jiu catches a fleeting glimpse of her looking back. Her foxlike eyes are slightly lowered, and a few red crabapple blossoms adorn her hair. Her gaze is seductive, but she is truly sly and unruly. From then on, the Crown Prince visits three times: for a woman, to choose a woman, and to take a woman. Reading Guide: 1. The male lead is 21 and the female lead is 28, with a seven-year age gap. 2.
