Xue Shanhe was most grateful to Old Master Liang in this life.
When she was fifteen, the Xue family was confiscated and her father died. Old Master Liang pulled her out of the mire and gave her a place to call home.
The Liang household had two sons.
The elder, Liang Ye, was gentle and refined, a prodigy praised by everyone. He would soon be going to the capital to sit the imperial examinations. The younger, Liang Shao, was spirited, unruly, and a notorious little tyrant in Mizhou. He wielded a red-tasseled spear with great skill and was set on joining the army.
Moved by affection for his beloved disciple's daughter, Old Master Liang ordered her to choose one of his grandsons to marry.
Shanhe knew Liang Ye had a bright future and dared not presume to be his match, so she chose Liang Shao. But on their wedding night, Liang Shao handed her a divorce agreement and promised that when his grandfather passed away, they would part ways.
For two years after their marriage, she tended to the sick old man, managed the household, and secretly saved money, waiting only for her benefactor to pass so she could take the agreement and leave, free at last.
Until the day she asked for the divorce agreement, when the young man who had never once looked her in the eye turned red-eyed for the first time in his life...
*
Liang Ye, the third-place laureate, was disciplined and proper, making the revival of his family his life's mission. Yet he harbored an improper longing for the woman who was, in name only, his younger brother's wife.
He knew his younger brother kept the divorce agreement in his study. He knew all her gentleness and quiet composure were an act of gratitude.
He waited patiently. When the time was right, he could bring that helpless breeze into his own hands, entirely above reproach.
But his own younger brother, who had been clamoring to join the army, was at her side every day.
Content warnings:
1. A great many liberties have been taken with the setting.
2. The female lead's occupation: an ancient-world illustrator who draws that sort of picture... This is a romance-focused story, with little emphasis on her career.
3. Before the story goes premium, the younger brother gets most of the scenes. Afterward, the elder brother's story begins, and overall he will have more scenes.
Theme: If freedom is at stake, anything can be cast aside.
It's so scary. Should I complain if the author doesn't write according to his own ideas? How much did you pay for it, and it was also customized.
It's so disgusting. I shouldn't read this novel. I don't understand how the author who wrote about the Great Lotus Bath could make Shanshan live in such a miserable life. Is it considered hard for a man to suffer a little [cover his face and laugh] [cover his face and cry] Lightning protection
Good girl, if you think about your kindness, you still have to pay tribute to her even if she is gone.
Man, hahahahaha, this is really a man
What an advanced idea [Knock on Wooden Fish] The premise is that all three people are willing [Clown]
It's so ironic that the young lady who was still a legitimate young lady to Liang Er ran away for two days and turned out to be an outlaw.
Wow, I felt so sad after reading this. But I feel that Shanshan is too bitter, really too bitter. I feel very regretful that I didn't get to see Shanshan have more happy times. The section in Jinling was really good. So actually I felt very uncomfortable after reading this book, and ended up in a state of depression and trance. Although everyone seems to have figured it out in the end, why?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha That sow can climb a tree, but a man's mouth is still unreliable
Whoever follows his servant, Cheng Min is also very treacherous
I knew he was not just for this woman. After watching the Great Lotus Bath, I am now reading the author's article and waiting for the reverse.
