——[Scandal Warning]————
Ming Yunzhi, the daughter of a high-ranking official, was a beautiful woman, graceful and elegant, a renowned beauty in the capital.
Betrothed to the Crown Prince at a young age, she followed the rules and regulations from childhood, impeccably observing etiquette and propriety. When she reached marriageable age, she was married in a grand ceremony to the Eastern Palace, becoming the Crown Princess.
Three years after their marriage, she was lavishly praised by the entire palace, and everyone loved her dearly.
Except her husband, Pei Yu.
On their wedding day, Pei Yu lifted her veil, catching sight of her beautiful face, and his first words were: “As my Crown Princess, matters of love must be put behind you.”
As his lips fell coldly and with restraint, devoid of any emotion, she foresaw her future.
She would treat His Highness with respect, treating him with equal dignity, but without any romantic feelings. In the third year of their marriage, Ming Yunzhi stumbled upon a change in Pei Yu. He used to retreat to his study after court, but now he’d immediately come to her bedroom, clinging to her and talking. He’d never prepared a special gift before, but he’d actually pricked his hand making her an ugly lantern. He’d never pressed for a child before, but now, leaning against her neck, he whispered, “Yunzhi, give me a child.” When she didn’t answer, he became increasingly aggressive, pressing her for an answer. … Eventually, every lady in the capital came to her for advice on how to control their husbands. Ming Yunzhi: …Huh?
–
Pei Yu, in a high position surrounded by wolves, had long since seen the world’s ways and had always distrusted love.
Until one day, he had an inexplicable dream and woke with a splitting headache, heartbroken.
Looking at the woman sleeping peacefully beside him, his eyes were filled with a complex expression. He had always believed himself to be heartless.
Until his dreams replayed the day they first met. Behind four screens adorned with colorful floral patterns, the tinkling of rings and bracelets, a bright and sophisticated young woman emerged step by step, the fragrance of orchids growing stronger.
Someone said, “Yunzhi, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
The young woman blushed, lowering her almond-shaped eyes in greeting.
He clenched his fists and called her “Sister Yunzhi.”
He was a wise man.
A wise man would never repeat the same mistakes. ——————
The male protagonist gradually remembers his past life. Marriage first, love later; pursuing his wife within marriage, double-crossing. Slow-burning, melodramatic, and repetitive. No need to tell me if I’ll abandon this story.The idea came to me on October 12, 23rd, and the copy was written at midnight on October 25th. Screenshots are available for archiving.
Below is a recommendation for my friend’s article, “Drunk on the Branches” by Luan Chu:
Xie Wanling is a concubine of the Earl of Yu’an. Growing up, her most enviable dream was her marriage to He Langjin, the eldest son of the Duke of Dingyuan.
The Duke of Dingyuan has been a family of distinguished scholars for generations, and He Langjin is the most prominent figure in the family for centuries. At a young age, he went on expeditions to pacify the western frontier, assisted the emperor, and ensured the prosperity of the country. The only regret is that he was betrothed from a young age to a fiancée whose family background was not prominent and who was unworthy of him. After her marriage, Xie Wanling toiled diligently to manage the household, striving to do everything perfectly. Because she had been childless for three years, she faced challenges from the elders in the mansion, who even kept her informed of such a major event as the concubine’s arrival and simply brought her into the family.
Thankfully, she finally became pregnant, and she eagerly anticipated the child’s arrival. However, the slippery, snowy roads caused Xie Wanling to fall, leading to a premature birth.
He Langjin, always cold towards her, refused to return to see her even at such a time.
Tears streamed down Xie Wanling’s face as she gradually faded from consciousness. Unexpectedly, heaven had granted her another chance, allowing her to return to the days of their marriage.
She wasn’t going to be a good wife anymore!
—
Seeing Xie Wanling’s detachment from him, He Langjin finally understood that she had been reborn.
The marriage was granted by the Emperor and could not be easily annulled. The two signed a divorce agreement, agreeing to present their case to the emperor two years later for approval.
This was a choice He Langjin had to make out of necessity, simply to appease Xie Wanling.
He Langjin reasoned that since they were married, there was no separation, and he would treat her well and live a good life with her.
Two years later, He Langjin, holding their child, had intended to take Xie Wanling to the outskirts of Beijing for a few days. Unexpectedly, he saw Xie Wanling pull out the divorce agreement she had signed from the bottom of a box.
He Langjin pressed his hand against the child’s back, gradually tightening his grip. His usual calm demeanor vanished, replaced only by a wave of turmoil.
He had thought they had long since resolved their differences, but now, with a child, she was leaving!
