Song Qingyin never imagined she would truly marry the childhood benefactor who had once saved her life.
But when her red bridal veil was lifted, she saw a man whose face resembled the one she loved!
She was startled. Wasn't this her husband's famously well-known cousin?
The man smiled at her. "Don't you remember me?"
He touched her red lips.
Memories surfaced...
The night before her wedding, she had been just like this.
She struggled and shut her eyes in pain.
No. It was all wrong!
By day, they were family members who treated each other with courtesy.
But when night came, she was his pleasure in the bedchamber.
He called her name with fervor, but she only looked at him coldly.
"Don't you like me? That's so sad."
Then one day, she suddenly discovered she was pregnant.
A sinister smile appeared on his face as he gently stroked her lower belly, his expression unreadable. "Tell me, whose child is this?"
[Male Lead's Perspective]
When I was young, I often climbed the courtyard wall to watch a girl in the neighboring residence who liked talking to the flowers and plants.
She was always surrounded by the bitter scent of medicine, and the other girls in the residence often teased and bullied her.
I felt sorry for her then and wanted to protect her.
But fate had other plans. Before long, I followed my father to war...
Years later, on the day I returned victorious, I received a wedding invitation.
How absurd. She was going to marry my cousin.
How could that be?!
