This novel is about to end. It only goes as far as the wedding, so feel free to binge it now; there's no need to wait for more chapters.
Pei Qingshi has spent his life restraining himself and following the rules. He stands as upright as an orchid tree and smiles like moonlight settling in one's heart. He is the crown jewel of the Tianyao Kingdom, and ordinary people look upon him as if gazing at the heavens, something to admire from afar but never touch.
Yet this very same man stole his elder brother's wife and engaged in an illicit relationship.
It is the stain on his life, yet to him, it is the greatest triumph of his life.
After a night of stolen pleasure, he smiles as he watches his soft, sweet wife lean against him with trusting eyes, thinking this must be what a perfect moment looks like.
So he has never regretted his choice. After all, a fine woman is sought after by many. His methods may have been a little dirty, but so what? He is the one who is happy now!!!
Chu Yuhe says: "I was reborn, went through untold hardships, and finally plucked this unattainable beauty. All that careful plotting was worth it, hehe~"
*
In her previous life, Chu Yuhe was abandoned by everyone, unable to win the love she longed for, and died in a heavy snowfall.
When she was reborn, everything had yet to begin, and she had the strongest support of all: the on-screen comments.
She had long since led those noble heirs, so high and mighty they had never spared her a glance, around in circles, making them rack their brains to win her favor.
Ji Weizhao, a playboy who had never known sincere love, actually challenged his family for her, all for the sake of her saying, "I swear I will never be a concubine in this life."
But in the end, he married someone else.
Li Hao'an, who threatened her from the moment they first met, later agreed to scrape away every sharp barb on his body for her, just to earn a single smile from her.
But then he lost his memory, and it all turned to dust.
Su Jiangli, innocent, romantic, and brimming with youthful loyalty, was the most wonderful young man she had ever met. He never looked down on Chu Yuhe for her humble origins. No matter how many schemes she devised against him, he only felt sorry for her.
Just as Chu Yuhe thought she was about to spend the rest of her life with him and become his wife, Pei Qingshi made a forceful entrance, locked him away, and took his place as the groom!
His actions left everyone stunned, and her incredulous.
After all, her first meeting with Pei Qingshi had been anything but pleasant.
She had laid all her despicable schemes before him, and he had shown her no kindness, answering her with harsh words.
"Someone of your station could never be worthy of him."
"If you choose him, you can only be his concubine."
But later, he was the one begging her again and again: "If you can use them, why can't you use me too?!"
The red corners of men's eyes were Chu Yuhe's badge of honor, but even so, Pei Qingshi still had the same attitude.
"I'll marry you as my concubine!"
Pei Qingshi's self-important devotion only disgusted Chu Yuhe.
So she would make him burn with jealousy and toss and turn every night!
Until at last...
The proud lower their heads, while the lowly play with people's hearts!
Theme: I will save myself from the depths of peril, time and time again.
