A story about a blind young master who falls for his elder brother's former concubine
Xia Yunhuai went up the mountain to gather herbs and found an unconscious man by the river. She hadn't planned to get involved, but the jade pendant on him looked familiar. She turned his face toward her and realized he was the Third Young Master of the Xie family.
Years ago, when the Xia family fell on hard times, Xia Yunhuai nearly ended up in a brothel. The eldest son of the Xie family saved her, taking her into his household as a concubine. Later, he sent her out of the capital with a letter of divorce.
By rights, the Third Young Master should call her sister-in-law.
The least she could do to repay the favor was take her former brother-in-law home and treat him rather than leave him to die.
He woke up, but he was blind.
Even blind, he still wanted to act like a young master. Xia Yunhuai wouldn't indulge him. He had to wash vegetables, kill chickens, and scrub dishes. No work meant no food.
Xie Huaichuan didn't know who had saved him. He thought she was a village doctor, sharp-tongued and petty. He couldn't win an argument with her, and since he was penniless and still needed her to treat his eyes, he had no choice but to work to pay for his medicine.
The first time he took out his family's heirloom jade pendant, he said he wanted to settle his medical bills. Xia Yunhuai refused it.
The second time he took out the heirloom jade pendant, he said he wanted to give it to her as a token of love. Xia Yunhuai still refused.
Not only did she refuse it, she also healed his eyes.
When he saw that the woman before him was his elder brother's former concubine, Xie Huaichuan's romantic feelings vanished in fright.
Later, the third time he took out the heirloom jade pendant, he said he was stubborn and never changed his mind once he had set his heart on someone. If they couldn't be husband and wife in this life, he'd seek her out in the next.
Reader's notes:
1. The male lead is blind, but can be cured. A faux sister-in-law and brother-in-law romance, with a younger male lead and a three-year age gap. Both are devoted to each other, 1v1, happy ending.
2. Set in an imaginary ancient world. Please don't overanalyze.
3. No golden finger. Rural life in the early chapters, court politics later. A sweet, relationship-focused story about a bickering couple who can't get along without each other.
4. New author who loves redemption stories. If you enjoy this, please add it to your favorites.
