A Lady of Noble Birth: Wrongfully Wed to a Powerful Official

The sudden revelation of her true background upends Wen Wuyou’s peaceful life. Once the daughter of a minor official, she is now revealed to be descended from a prominent family, but wealth and glory are nowhere in sight. Her relatives are a nest of vipers, a powerful eunuch is sharpening his knives, and her future mother-in-law has come to break off the engagement. Her life changes overnight. Wen Wuyou quietly accepts it all, willing to bear the burden alone. But… can someone explain how she can be jilted one moment, then eagerly courted by the Princess Royal’s household the next? Looks: Her new suitor is a shining jewel of the capital, while her childhood sweetheart is nothing but a dull lump of iron. Talent: Her new suitor is a hero of troubled times with great merit for supporting the throne, while her childhood sweetheart can barely lift a chicken and has nothing but ambition. Temperament: Her new suitor is brave, resourceful, clever, and wise, while her childhood sweetheart is timid, mild-mannered, and obedient to his mother. Someone else broke off the engagement, and Wen Wuyou can’t change that. But when it comes to a new match, she thinks it over. “If you want to marry me, there’s one more condition: for the rest of your life, I must be the only one in your heart and the only one in your eyes. And I’m the only one you get to sweet-talk…” “Of course, of course… a thousand times yes.” The man smiles warmly. “My lady, please step into the bridal sedan.” A little scene: [Their First Meeting] Wen Wuyou fumes: “Is there nowhere better than this place in the capital? The capital may be prosperous, but the people here are simple and honest, and they don’t take concubines. Can the capital compare?” [The Search] Cold red candlelight falls over the large red wedding characters. Clutching the bride’s wedding robe, the man weeps softly: “Wen Wuyou, as long as you’re still here, you’re my wife. If you’re gone, you’ll be my one and only deceased wife. In this life and the next, I’ll search from the highest heavens to the deepest underworld. If it isn’t you, I won’t marry.” [A House Full of Children and Grandchildren] One, two, three, four… “Wen Wuyou, you even counted the children of our relatives!” ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Miaozi is back with a shiny new novel!
