Blurb One:
After Ye Ci transmigrated to ancient times, she was always cautious and kept to her place, wanting only to live out her life in peace amid the chaos.
But on the day of her wedding, the groom suddenly died, and she was branded an ill-fated woman, suffering one abuse after another.
She was close to giving up on life, but luckily, she met Huo Yi.
Huo Yi gave her fine clothes and delicious food, and bestowed ten thousand taels of gold on her, allowing her to live safely amid the chaos.
Ye Ci was deeply grateful.
On the day Huo Yi married, she wisely chose to leave.
As she departed, she knelt before Huo Yi with her bundle on her back and said sincerely and firmly, "I wish Your Lordship peace and safety, and hope you and your wife soon have a son."
Then she turned and walked away.
But just as she stepped through the gate, the marquis's guards stopped her. A familiar voice rang out behind her:
"Trying to leave?"
"Beg me."

Blurb Two
To escape the marquis's residence, Ye Ci went to her adoptive elder brother, a top-ranked scholar.
Her brother petitioned the emperor for permission to marry her, allowing Ye Ci to escape Huo Yi's grasp.
After the wedding ceremony, she sat by the bed waiting for her groom.
The groom arrived late, impatiently lifting her veil.
She smiled and pushed him away, teasing him for being so eager.
But in the next moment, a hand closed around her throat.
Reeking of alcohol, Huo Yi spoke in a low voice beside her ear. "What?"
"Want to be a widow again?"
Ye Ci stared at Huo Yi in disbelief.
Without a word, Huo Yi pinned her down and kissed her through her wedding robes.
Leave him?
Not in this lifetime.
