Complete | Childhood friends reunited | Substitute marriage | She flees, he pursues
Blurb:
[Gentle and gracious, loved by all X unruly and tough, able to fight and take a beating, both leads are virgins]
Zhou Jiahui was born into a wealthy Jiangnan family and was blessed with outstanding beauty. If all went well, she would one day marry into an elite household and live a life of wealth and comfort.
Then, in a single day, her family fell from power. After many twists and turns, she became a tutor to the daughters of the Jiangxia military governor's household.
The young lady of the house died unexpectedly before her wedding. They couldn't possibly give up such a hard-won marriage alliance, so the governor and his wife forced Jiahui to go to the capital and take the bride's place.
The man she was to marry was the eldest legitimate son of the Duke of Zhenguo's household.
On the way to the capital, she heard that her future husband was a notorious playboy, a living tyrant.
Jiahui couldn't help wondering: Would a man like that really fail to notice that she was five years older than the real bride?
*
Wei Qi had spent his whole life diligently pretending to be a playboy, surviving under the emperor's suspicions.
But on his wedding night, when he lifted the bridal veil, he found himself looking at a face he hadn't seen in many years, trying hard to remain calm.
The childhood sweetheart he had lost years ago was suddenly alive again.
He knew she must have had her reasons and did not expose her. He played along, wanting to treat her well, shield her from hardship, and make her a true Madam Wei.
*
A year later.
Wei Qi finally found Jiahui in Jiangnan, after she had left without a word. Gritting his teeth, he asked in her ear, "Zhou Jiahui, who is this? Did you run off with another man?"
The heroine's name and the hero's courtesy name, Zaiqing, come from the Book of Songs.
The hills have fine plants, chestnuts and plums. They are laid waste, yet who knows the cause?
Consider the spring water, at times clear and at times muddied. I bring trouble upon myself every day. How can I find good fortune?
[Reading Guide]
1. The leads are devoted to each other and have had no other partners. The hero himself spread the rumors about his reputation.
2. A fictional setting, very fictional. Please don't nitpick the history.
3. No one is reborn, transmigrates, has a System, or possesses a golden finger.
4. The leads were very young when they first met and had no romantic feelings then. Their relationship develops after they reunite.
5. The heroine running off with another man in the blurb is a misunderstanding!

We have always been working together to investigate the case and discuss the case. Why are there some confusing quarrels in the recent chapters? The heroine's temperament has changed so much. The hero was originally a person who understood each other very well. Why did these two smart people suddenly become less smart?
I finally finished it. I thought it was a sweet story, but I didn't expect it to be a bit suspenseful. While watching, I was always fascinated, scared and couldn't help but want to know the follow-up plot. The female protagonist is really brave and resourceful, and the male protagonist is a bit love-savvy, but this is also the male protagonist's greatest advantage. A good girl deserves to be loved. But I have a little doubt. The author didn't seem to explain the truth about Xinghua Village in the follow-up. I still felt weird after reading it.
I feel like the manuscripts here are not good to read... The root of this quarrel is very similar to the previous one. Neither of them understands each other. It seems that the characters have not grown much. Che Zulu is so tired from talking.
Very smooth and comfortable article, why are there so few comments! It is well written, the story is relatively complete, and the character arrangement is also very reasonable. Thanks to the author for bringing such a good story~
I'm so lucky to come across such a good article. It's eloquently told. The story is solid and not pretentious. Every character is vivid and powerful, and the plot is not sloppy. I can't stop reading it! The two protagonists each have their own strengths, and Jiahui is so smart that she never fails to do so, she can advance and retreat freely, and she is brave and resourceful. I really like it! 🤩🤩
It's a bit mind-numbing to watch. Just like the male protagonist, I kept thinking about why the female protagonist wanted to leave. Can you write more clearly about the female protagonist's inner activities? It was so hard for me to read. Why did I cut the scene after writing half of it? I only understood half of it 😭
Such cute puppy love
Chapter 83 was posted but it was locked orz, waiting for me to change it!
So wonderful. . . It's hard to fly with wings
Damn, Wei Qi's temperament has been a little weird since he arrived in Jiangnan? Naughty? But it's not just that, it's a bit hard to explain, and it feels a bit fragmented compared to before [holding the chin]
