[Brothers competing for her / possessive abduction and a groveling pursuit]
Ning Zherou was an orphan from a border town. She and Lu Chen married when they had nothing. At the time, he had just fallen from his position as a heaven-blessed prodigy into the mud, becoming a disgraced soldier with a crippled leg.
During their three years of marriage, she once braved the snow to make house calls late at night, just to earn a little money for his treatment. When the city fell and danger struck, she dragged him out of a pile of corpses and used her frail shoulders to keep him alive.
Zherou thought they were a young couple deeply in love. But after she followed Lu Chen to the capital, she realized everything had changed.
Lu Chen, who had once had eyes only for her, would one day tell her impatiently not to be jealous, all for the sake of another woman.
Lu Chen, who had once promised never to betray her in this life, went boating, picking lotus flowers and watching fireworks with another woman on the very day someone plotted against Zherou while she was pregnant.
It turned out she had been no more than the poor wife who stood by Lu Chen in his hour of need, while that noblewoman was the bright moon who was truly his equal.
The deep young love she had believed in turned out to be nothing but a joke.
Zherou's heart turned to ashes. She drank a bowl of safflower tea, lost the child she had tried so hard to protect, and left the capital.
She would no longer be Madam Lu. She would only be herself.
**
Lu Chen had never thought Zherou would leave.
Even if she got upset, she would surely be the first to soften and come back.
But she really had run away.
The day he finally learned where she was, Lu Chen, despite his serious injuries, rode a hundred miles through the rain to her clinic. But when the door opened, it wasn't her who came out.
It was his sworn brother and cousin, the young prince Xie Yunzhou.
Lu Chen felt the blood drain from his body in an instant. His eyes reddened as he demanded, "What are you doing here? Where's Zhaozhao?!"
Xie Yunzhou wore only an undershirt, his collar loose, a springtime glow in his eyes and at the corners of his mouth. He smiled at Lu Chen.
"She doesn't want to see you."
**
From that day on, Lu Chen went completely mad.
She was his wife. If they could not share a bed in life, then they would share a grave in death.

The reading notes below have been revised based on reader feedback:
1. The heroine is not a virgin, and the second male lead takes the lead. A temporary one-on-one romance, full of love, hate, and melodramatic angst.
The heroine is not love-blind, but neither is she cold as stone. The plot is melodramatic and the romance bittersweet. This is not a satisfying revenge story about taking down scumbags. Readers who prefer a cold-hearted heroine who humiliates her enemies, please beware.
2. The male lead is an obsessive mad dog. The main plot centers on possessive abduction. The heroine refuses to give in. The second male lead has little page time, but ends up with her.
3. Slow burn, with a slow pace early on. The male lead is chaste in both body and heart, and only loves the heroine. There is a hidden story involving the female supporting character, but no intimacy between them. The two appear together for no more than five or six hundred words in the entire novel.
Coming next: Jade's Farewell. A sharp-witted, sweet-tongued young woman × a spirited young man. A bickering couple on a road adventure, in a half-historical, Tang-inspired Western Regions road novel. If you like this kind of story, please add it to your favorites!
Another upcoming melodramatic, bittersweet story: Bronze Sparrow. A warlord × a beauty. After the obsessive childhood friend she once wronged returns, he forcibly takes her as his second wife.
Moon and Wind. A sweet, gentle girl who plays the pig to eat the tiger × a clear-eyed, fallen-for-him black-hearted crown prince. A broken romance, a reunion after a long separation, and an intentional return. A powerful man bows his head, then gets a taste of his own medicine.
Theme: Treasure the present, for what is lost is hard to regain.
In the extra chapter, let Ming Qi eat more meat?
I really cried when I saw Lu Zhan die. This episode is so complete and happy.
Sprinkle flowers, it's over 🎆 Then we'll watch the second male lead's extra episode, I'll eat them all [Let me be healthy]
Ending the show? Thank you to the author for giving the male and female protagonists a perfect and happy ending in the extra chapter. The writing was so beautiful, but not enough to watch. Why did it end 😭
Reading this book makes me feel weird. If the heroine and the hero break up later, for example, when the hero really does something sorry for her or is ready to do something, it may be more reasonable. Now it makes people feel that the heroine's feelings for the hero are only average, and she is also cruel to the hero. Maybe the author's previous feelings for the hero and heroine are too good. I always feel that when the heroine breaks up with the hero, including the beginning of the story, the cruelty is too far-fetched.
Teacher, please don't go astray. It's a pity to write this setting in Jinjiang. Isn't 1v2 great?!!
Is there no extra episode for the second male lead? It's hard to calm down
It's finally sweet[purple sugar]kswl[purple sugar]kswl
It has to be the sweet daily life of the male and female protagonists!!
It looks good. I want to see the daily life of a reborn couple living happily together like this.
