Meeting You

Xu Yunqi attended a palace banquet and was mistakenly assigned by the drunken emperor to marry the most esteemed young master of the capital, Pei Muheng. Everyone said Xu Yunqi was lucky to marry such a golden husband; even the Xu family believed so.

Upon marriage, she found out that Pei Muheng had a childhood sweetheart from a well-matched family whom he had initially intended to marry.

On their wedding night, Pei Muheng was indifferent and distant, establishing three rules for their relationship. Xu Yunqi silently agreed to all of them. After marriage, they treated each other with respect, living a peaceful and uneventful life, with Xu Yunqi always staying within her bounds.

Pei Muheng, elegant and noble, was the most favored grandson of the emperor. He could have chosen any noble lady in the capital, but his grandfather’s random matchmaking assigned him to Xu Yunqi, a daughter of a common official family. Despite his displeasure, he had to accept the imperial decree. He spent most of the month in the palace, and his impression of his new wife was that she was gentle, quiet, and did not cling to him. After they consummated their marriage, he found her to be delicate and diligent in managing the household. Despite her humble origins, he thought he could live with her peacefully until old age. However, during a banquet, he unintentionally discovered that she had a “white moonlight” (someone she cherished deeply) in her heart.

Pei Muheng, who always prided himself on being decisive and emotionless, found himself tossing and turning at night, experiencing the pain of unrequited love for the first time.
