Banquet Dawn

#Puppy-boy romance / older-woman-younger-man romance / married first, love later #Clear-headed heroine x energetic puppy-boy, also known as "My Husband Is Wagging His Tail Again Today" #The sharpest tongue, kneeling on the roughest washboard Yan Li was betrothed to Huo Ningyuan as a child, but their wedding was repeatedly postponed. Then one day, Huo Ningyuan brought home his newly widowed first love, and Yan Li became the laughingstock of the capital. Yan Li had always thought that even if she and Huo Ningyuan hadn't known each other well as children, at least they could treat each other with respect after marriage. But when she saw Huo Ningyuan, who was usually decisive and ruthless as he schemed his way through court, resolutely protecting his pitiful first love, Yan Li suddenly understood: Some people's regrets remain forever in their youth... Yan Li: "Let's break off the engagement." Huo Ningyuan's eyes held irritation and restraint. "Think carefully. We were betrothed. Even if we end the engagement, who in the country would dare marry you?" * Duchess: "I'd like my grandson to marry Yan Li. The older I get, the more I believe in fate. Yan Li and I get along, and I've had their birth dates read. She and our Yun'an are a good match. Yun'an is coming to the capital to visit me this time, so they can get married and leave together afterward." Everyone in the capital knew the duchess had only one grandson: Jiang Xun, Jiang Yun'an. The Jiang family was a household of loyal martyrs. His father and brothers had all died on the battlefield. Although Jiang Xun was young, he had single-handedly shouldered the entire Jiang family in the blood-soaked borderlands. On their wedding night, when her veil was lifted, she saw a devil-may-care face. "We each get what we need. From now on, you don't make things difficult for me, and I won't make things difficult for you." The next day, Yan Li clutched her waist and bit her lip. What a load of crap, "you don't make things difficult for me, and I won't make things difficult for you"... #Somewhere in the world, there's always someone who will love the real, messy you #We've seen each other at our most wretched. From now on, we'll live facing the sun P.S. I've changed the premise. I'm not writing the original one anymore. Feel free to unfollow if you don't like it. An upcoming novel: "Golden Hairpins" *A story about the five beloved granddaughters of the old madam of the Yong'an Earl's residence, featuring an ensemble of women. The old madam of the Yong'an Earl's residence has four beloved granddaughters, all adorned with elaborate hairdos and golden hairpins, graceful and noble, each with her own kind of "decorum." At home, they bicker and squabble from morning to night. Outside, they behave like obedient sisters. The old madam isn't worried about these four granddaughters. She has always had one concern: When will the fourth granddaughter, who went missing as a child, be found? Reader's guide: 1. The five sisters have very different personalities: domineering, shrewd, volatile, and even "foolish." The story may have an unusual style. They're all main characters, and the fourth sister may not appear until later. 2. There are couples, but the story may not end with exactly five grandsons-in-law, or there may eventually be five. 3. There's personal growth, sweet moments, and letting go. I'll write wherever the story takes me. Theme: Somewhere in the world, there's always someone who will love the real, messy you. We've seen each other at our most wretched. From now on, we'll live facing the sun
