Six months into their marriage, her husband died in a shipwreck. Before his body was even cold, his family asked her to provide an heir for the second branch. Their solution was to have the elder brother, Xu Yanzhang, carry on the line for both branches and produce heirs for them both.
The Xu family had been a military household for a century, but their many years of killing had left them with very few descendants. The other branches had either died on the battlefield or died out entirely. Of the few remaining members of the main family, only two branches remained. Yet the second branch's Xu Yanshu had died unexpectedly just six months after his wedding, while the elder branch's Xu Yanzhang had been married for years and had only one four-year-old daughter.
With the Xu family's century-old legacy on the verge of collapse, they had no other choice. They promised that if she bore an heir for the second branch, they would petition for a chaste widow's honorific arch and obtain an imperial title of nobility for her.
Her own family had fallen into decline, living off what remained of the Xu family's prestige. Her father and stepmother came to plead with her, asking her to think of her unmarried younger sisters and remain in the Xu household, a lonely widow until old age and death. They could hardly wait to have a chaste widow's honorific arch erected for her right away.
Feng Ruanzhen was at a loss. Perhaps she still cherished the bond she had shared with her childhood sweetheart and late husband. She gritted her teeth and, half-coerced and half-forced, agreed to this outrageous arrangement.
Please note:
1. This is a one-on-one romance.
2. The heroine's husband has died. The hero has been married for many years without a son, so he takes on the responsibility of producing heirs for both family branches due to the succession issue.
3. The hero and his wife have no physical relationship. His wife and daughter are the posthumous family of a late friend, whom he is looking after.
Theme: Break free of your shackles. Nothing can be built without first breaking the old.
Can you refund my money? Although the money is not much, it is too disgusting. Who has been chasing updates for a month and there is no one? I was dealing with it before, but now I don't even have a word. Jie v refunds the money [rolls eyes]
I got to know the author from this book. I will definitely avoid her from now on and will never follow any of her serials [Eh~][Eh~]
"Higashiye had a ten-year bottleneck period. Because he was too obsessed with sophisticated tricks, he couldn't write anything even after racking his brains. Until one moment, he seemed to have received an "oracle from heaven", telling him that from now on, he would only write what was in his heart. From then on, he stopped deliberately chasing novelties and began to capture the delicate emotions in his works. "Hey, this is a passage I saw today, and I thought of sending it to you. I hope it will be helpful to your current writing status.
Nothing else, can you refund my money? I don't want to worry about this broken article every day. I have to come up every day to see if it has been updated, and I have to look at the author's various excuses. This is really boring. Moreover, this article has been revised and it no longer looks like it was at the beginning. I don't want to read it anymore. I just want the author to refund my money!
I really admire this kind of abandoned author. The previous money was wasted, which is very appetizing.
Have you stopped writing🖊️? Will the previous fees be refunded?
Even famous books will have regrets, and nothing is perfect. From the author's perspective, everything should be perfect, but readers just want to relax when reading a book.
It's already September. In fact, at the end of July, I said I would sort it out this month and update it, but it's September and it's still not there. This article is stuck... Ugh! I don't even know what to say. I said that my writing has been biased since Tingzhang. It's been so long and it hasn't been corrected yet? Author, you have lost your credibility, you have fallen into a trap, you gave up but you are reluctant to give up (I really like the plot), I can only wait, I hope you don't abandon the article [split]
But even if you revise it back, you will definitely not be able to get back to the state you wrote when you first wrote it. It is better to consider updating the current state and try to complete this article, which is better than abandoning the article or stagnating all the time.
