The Forsaken Husband and His Beloved Concubine

Love, Part One: “Come with me. I will treat you well for the rest of your life!” “What can you offer as proof?” “A kingdom. Is that enough?” Love, Part Two: “You said you would love me forever!” “That was then.” “What about now?” “I'll give you a kingdom in exchange for the rest of your life. Is that enough?” Love, Part Three: “Depose the empress? I want to make you empress!” “Is it because you love me, or because of the child we lost?” “I told you, our child will one day rule the Sui Dynasty, whether boy or girl!” On her wedding day, her former husband is about to be executed. She gazes from the city gate, then turns around and demands in fury, “Does he really have to die?” “As long as you love him, I will never let your love for him take root!” “Haha... You schemed to make me divorce him, and now you're killing my former husband without a second thought! Yang Guang, I'll make you regret this for the rest of your life!” Her red robes flutter as she leaps from the city tower, wanting him to suffer for the rest of his life. After five years of searching and bitter waiting, he finally wins a love beyond his wildest dreams. He is steadfast in love, and stands by her even at the cost of being cursed by the world. Why should he, Yang Guang, a ruler of a generation, end up losing his kingdom and his wife? Why should he be rejected by all? Fate ends, fate begins, just as that lowly poem says: The Buddha said, Even the most beautiful flower will one day wither. Even the deepest bond will one day run its course. Flowers bloom and fade. Fate begins and is sealed. Cause and effect, Life and death, Are all governed by the laws of nature. They cannot be forced, Nor can they be held back. Ru Mo only likes writing tragic stories.
