Clear Skies After the First Rain over the Lake

Because of a painting, Ye Xixian was forced by his adoptive parents to marry into the Pei family as their young master's husband. But he wasn't a ger. And he didn't like Pei Chuheng, either. The young master was a wildly unruly libertine, cruel-tempered and unpredictable. On their wedding night, he abandoned Ye Xixian and spent the whole night drinking at a brothel. Born into a distinguished family, surrounded by the confines of a grand estate, Ye Xixian could have studied for the imperial examinations, entered officialdom, married a woman, and had children. Instead, he had to keep his secret that he wasn't a ger while scheming against a whole household of concubines, competing for favor and affection. This wasn't what he wanted, especially since Pei Chuheng despised him, too. So in the end, Ye Xixian faked his death and disappeared. Many years later, Ye Xixian encountered Pei Chuheng again and found that the man had become someone else entirely. He'd gone mad. Obsessed with Ye Xixian to a disturbing degree, he insisted on doing everything a husband and wife were supposed to do. Ye Xixian was aghast. “I'm not a ger! And I'm not your wife!” Pei Chuheng: “So what! You look exactly like my deceased wife!” Ye Xixian: “Huh?” Was this how you used to talk, too?
