Pei Jingchuan, the eldest grandson of the Marquis's household, pacified Beijin at a young age and achieved unparalleled military success.
But after a battle, he fell from a high cliff and lay unconscious.
All the doctors said he was near death. Desperate, Madam Su decided to find him a wife to bring him good luck.
Jiang Yunning, a merchant's daughter, went to the marquis's estate hoping to borrow money to pay off her debts.
Madam Su clasped her hand tightly and said through tears, "Young lady, if you marry my son to bring him good fortune and bear him a child, I'll pay off your debts and never treat you unfairly."
Desperate for money, Jiang Yunning agreed at once.
But she had one serious question: she was willing to marry him to bring him good fortune, but with the man unconscious, how could she consummate the marriage and have a child?
Even while lying unconscious in bed, Pei Jingchuan remained aware.
He was deeply dissatisfied with the wife his mother had married for him without asking!
He had always detested women with frivolous manners, and she was shameless beyond belief. Not only did she often wear soft, thin clothes and stroke his body, she would also lean close to his ear from time to time and whisper provocative, brazen words!
He ground his teeth and sneered to himself, swearing that as soon as he awoke, he would divorce her at once to ease his anger!
One day after he regained consciousness, Pei Jingchuan saw his wife hiding behind a rockery, whispering sweet nothings to her childhood sweetheart.
"Brother, we never had any real affection as husband and wife. When the time is right, he'll give me a divorce letter, and I'll go home with you."
That night, the usually calm and composed man tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Later, when he saw Jiang Yunning packing to leave, his tall, imposing figure pinned her in a corner. His large hand gripped her waist as he said hoarsely, "Madam, I married you properly and made you my wife. You can divorce me only if I'm truly dead!"
