Synopsis:
The young master of the Duke of Zhen’s manor, Li Ling, was talented, brave, and an outstanding man. However, his delicate wife Lady Shen felt stifled living with him. Five years into their marriage, she was completely compliant with him, yet he showed her not an ounce of warmth.
If it was simply due to his cold temperament, she could accept it. But when the Xiongnu invaded and the Ninth Princess was forced into a marriage alliance, Li Ling actually “flew into a rage” and requested to lead troops for the sake of his cousin the princess.
She finally understood the reason he treated her so coldly. She was so angry she didn’t want to stay married to him anymore. The divorce papers were already drafted, just waiting for Li Ling’s return to sign them.
Little did she expect that upon waking up one day, she found herself back at the time of her new marriage to Li Ling…
Li Ling married an obedient young wife who doted on him. Over a month into their marriage, she served him extremely well.
However, these past few days, Li Ling noticed his new wife acting strange. In the mornings, she no longer helped him dress. At mealtimes, she didn’t plate his dishes or pour his soup for him. At night, as soon as he approached her, she turned away.
The formidable and aloof Li Ling could no longer stand it. He leaned in and asked, “Wife, are you feeling unwell?”
She just gave him a cold look.
Li Ling scratched his head. “Having just arrived at the manor, are you still not quite accustomed, wife?”
Again, she remained silent with her head down.
Li Ling’s curiosity was piqued, so he could only closely observe her every move, hoping to discern what was on her mind.
One day at a polo match, he saw her cover her face and smile at a certain man on the field. Another day, he noticed her resting her chin in her palm, idly reading poems by a certain scholar. And at a palace banquet, he even saw the crown prince give her a slight smile…
Li Ling’s heart grew more unsettled with each passing day.
