I Knew You Liked Me!

Li Ying, the Prime Minister's daughter, had suffered from a strange, incurable illness since childhood and was unlikely to live past twenty. Her family treasured her like a precious jewel and granted her every request.

When the Prime Minister heard his daughter remark on how handsome this year's third-place palace exam graduate was, he immediately sent a matchmaker to propose and had the man join the family as a live-in son-in-law.

When Li Ying returned from visiting relatives and saw an unfamiliar young man in the house, her father even called him his beloved son-in-law. Li Ying was horrified. "I only said he was handsome! I never said I wanted to marry him!"

Zhu Junbai came from a poor family and had been raised by his grandmother. He agreed to marry into the Prime Minister's household only because the Prime Minister could provide priceless medicinal ingredients to treat his grandmother.

As for that proud young lady, now that they were husband and wife, Zhu Junbai would remain faithful to her and never stray. When she died of her illness, he would mourn her and care for her parents.

Li Ying gave a little "Oh" and beamed. "You've thought it all through so carefully. But what if I don't die?"

Zhu Junbai lowered his eyes to the hand Li Ying was sneakily reaching toward him, and blushed despite himself.

[Upcoming novel: May a Thousand Springs Stay]

After the dynasty fell and warlords rose, Wei Fu lost both her parents and managed the household alone. At last, the Fu family arrived with betrothal gifts to honor an old promise and bring her into their home.

She was not yet old enough, so the wedding was postponed, but everyone knew she was Fu Yiling's wife.

Only Fu Yiling himself had no idea. Whenever they crossed paths, he either turned around and left or pretended not to see her.

-

Fu Yiling couldn't understand how the Wei family had raised their daughter to be as thin as a bean sprout.

He sternly told Wei Fu, "The young madam of the Fu family cannot be sickly and weak."

Wei Fu burst into tears.

Fu Yiling added, "And you can't go around crying at the drop of a hat!"

He held Wei Fu to the same standards he used to train his soldiers.

Wei Fu gritted her teeth and persevered, but Fu Yiling changed his mind and carried her straight to the army doctor.

Wei Fu held back her tears and reminded him in a tiny voice, "I hurt my hand, not my legs. I can walk by myself."

Fu Yiling ignored her, had her wound treated, then carried her back.

In private, he repeatedly asked the army doctor, "Why does my chest ache whenever she cries? Am I really not sick?"
