The Little Country Bookseller

Jiang Xiaoyu transmigrates to an ancient village, thinking she'll marry her childhood sweetheart and spend the rest of her life in quiet comfort.

One day, she wakes up in an unfamiliar place with a strange man lying beside her. Her life changes from that moment on.

The man flees in panic, leaving her alone to face the absurd situation. Terrified, she is so overwhelmed she can hardly hold back her tears.

She collapses in a pool of blood outside the imperial examination hall. Her husband's cowardice, avoidance, and accusations leave her heartbroken. Faced with rumors spreading through the city and doubts from her clan, she asks for a divorce, leaves the husband who loves her deeply, and sets out without hesitation on the path her heart desires.

Years later, with her dreams shattered like snowflakes drifting across the sky, she straightens her back and once again leaves everything behind, reclaiming her freedom.

If only life could remain as it was at their first meeting; if only they could have kept their vow to stay together forever. Who betrayed whom? Her childhood sweetheart wanted her to become a housewife, while the stern general could only offer to make her his concubine.

She calmly accepts her choice, returns home, and goes to apologize to the man who loves her most.
