[Traditional Historical Romance + Age Gap + Stealing the Bride from Another Man + The Ascetic Minister Descends from His Pedestal + The Scumbag Husband Regrets Losing His Wife + The Whole Family Gets Their Comeuppance, and She Won't Forgive Them]
Her husband passed the imperial exam as the top scholar, while Sui He was cast aside like an old, worn-out wife.
When his new bride entered the household, Sui He was reduced to the lowest servant in the manor, doing menial work.
Her husband's principal wife bullied her, her mother-in-law made things difficult, her husband treated her with cold indifference, and her sister-in-law kept stirring up trouble.
Just as everyone thought Sui He wouldn't survive, she tearfully knocked on the door of her husband's powerful uncle, whose influence reached across the court.
"Please, Uncle, stand up for me."
Uncle Pei Yanzhi could turn clouds and rain with a flick of his hand. Everyone feared him as a demon, yet he was aloof and otherworldly, shunning women like an ascetic Buddha seated on a lotus throne.
Gazing at the delicate beauty beyond the door, with her raven hair, fair skin, and tear-filled eyes, the Buddha's heart wavered. His long-fingered hand drew her slender waist into his arms, dark currents surging in his deep gaze.
His cool lips brushed the tears at the corner of her eyes, and he whispered coaxingly by her ear, "You came to pray to the Buddha. Have you decided what you'll offer as a sacrifice?"
Could it be that the heroine is a young lady from the Duke's mansion?
It's so frustrating to watch, there's no end to the villains
Off topic, in the end Sui He was called Shen Suihe or Song Suihe [tilts head and laughs and cries] 🐶, although it could always be Shen Nian'an [erha] [erha] [erha]
The heroine was a little crybaby in the early stage, weak and incompetent. She was brainwashed by Xiao Pei and even tried to conquer the story by herself. It made her angry and aggrieved. It would be easy to abandon the story if she couldn't hold on. Later, she became strong-willed and slowly awakened, and Lao Pei began to spare no effort to help her. I like Pei Yanzhi's character very much. He is a powerful minister in the court. He turns his hands to make clouds and rain. He is thoughtful, cold-hearted, and an ascetic Buddhist son. When fighting against Xiao Pei's uncle and nephew, no matter how insidious and cunning Xiao Pei is, Lao Pei always has the upper hand. For the sake of the heroine, Lao Pei would sacrifice his fame and bright future. Compared with Xiao Pei's constant love, Lao Pei's love is too obvious. I am used to seeing male protagonists who are both civil and military, and suddenly I feel that someone like Lao Pei who is good at using power and tactics is very interesting. In the Sixth Yuan Dynasty, he has power over the government and the public, but he is upright, honest throughout his life, not foolish, loyal and filial, and can distinguish right from wrong. But having said that, Lao Pei is seriously in love, hahahahaha
The first part is a bit verbose, but the second part is pretty good.
Damn it, the heroine is so stupid
I particularly like the male protagonist created by the author, he is just too rough.
It's finished, it's no good, the author, there's no extra chapter, it can't be finished, it's too sudden.
Why don't you write some extra stories about supporting characters?
Finished? Why not update?
