Lin Weiyue, the newly crowned top scholar's wife, dreamed that she was living in a book.
In the book, she was a supporting character who served as a foil to the villain, while the heroine was Lin Weirong, her third younger sister from her maiden family.
The book said, "Lin Weiyue" had been affected and fussy since childhood, using her skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to build her reputation. After getting married, she was still a troublemaker, insisting that her husband be devoted to romance and spend his time comforting and coaxing her. After years without children, she grew jealous and refused to let her husband take concubines.
Meanwhile, Lin Weirong, who had transmigrated from the future, was "well-behaved and unassuming, never competing for anything" at her maiden home. After marrying into the Marquis of Yongding's family, she showed no interest in romance and was virtuous and magnanimous. Yet she inspired the Marquis's eldest son, a playboy with a colorful past, to turn over a new leaf and fall hopelessly in love with her.
In the end, Lin Weirong was blessed with five sons in a row. Her husband inherited the title and rose to power, and they lived happily in love until the story's end.
Lin Weiyue, however, remained childless all her life. Wherever she went, people pointed fingers and gossiped about her, and her husband was dragged into taking the wrong side and purged by his political rival, the Marquis of Yongding.
Startled awake from her dream, Lin Weiyue immediately looked at the husband beside her.
Xie Jue awkwardly put an arm around her and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Do you need to get up or have some water?"
Lin Weiyue sat up and looked him over from head to toe, then gazed again at Xie Jue's handsome, refined face, still hazy with sleep. The Xie family would be in trouble, she thought, but that wouldn't happen for another twenty years.
So why worry now?
"I dreamed you didn't kiss me!" she said, diving back into her husband's arms.
