My name is Wen Jin, and I have crossed over to become the second daughter of the Duke's Residence.
I thought I would have to endure a life of hardship, but unexpectedly, the the Wen Family is one of the most distinguished families in this world.
My eldest sister, Wen Yun Ge, married the Crown Prince and became the Empress, revered by all.
My elder brother, Wen Yunqi, though still young, has already taken up the position of Minister of Rites.
Even my younger brother, at just eight years old, has already achieved the status of Xiu Cai.
And my parents, though they are the masters of the Duke's Residence, dote on me immensely.
My mother often holds my hand and says her only wish in this life is for me to live happily and joyfully.
I thought that such days would continue in bliss forever.
But suddenly one day, I received an imperial decree.
The decree stated that Lin Minister intends to take me as his wife.
Although marriage is inevitable sooner or later, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.
Because I had never considered marrying anyone.
Yet I also understand that in this era, marriage is not a matter of personal choice.
Especially when it comes to an imperial decree.
So, I had no choice but to accept.
Fortunately, my future husband is someone I know.
His name is Lin Han, a childhood playmate of mine.
When we were young, our families were neighbors.
I knew he liked me.
He once built snowmen with me, enjoyed the snowfall, and even crafted a branch of red plum blossoms by hand for me.
I remember one time when I even fought him for some candied hawthorn.
Back then, he had a shy and innocent smile.
Unfortunately, later on, Lin Han's father was demoted, and both families had to move away from that place.
After that, Lin Han became the top student in high school and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the dream man of countless girls in the capital.
Although I am just a concubine’s daughter, my parents prepared a generous dowry for me since I am their only unmarried daughter.
On the day of my grand wedding, I was dressed in a fiery red bridal gown and sent to the Lin Residence.
I felt both excited and somewhat anxious.
Because I didn't know if Lin Han still liked me as he did in our childhood.
On the night of our wedding, the moment Lin Han lifted my veil, I knew he was fond of me.
His eyes were filled with laughter and tenderness.
"A Jin," he said softly, taking my hand in his. "I promised to give you a lifetime together. From now on, you are my wife, Lin Han."
I smiled and squeezed his hand in return. "Mm."
System: [Host, do you want to go back?]
Go back?
Back to where?
To my family where my parents are divorced and argue every day?
Or back to my life of endless overtime?
No, I don't want to go back.
I want to stay here, waiting for Lin Han's unwavering devotion.
Life after marriage was blissful.
Lin Han showered me with love, always putting me first.
He personally prepared medicine for me, styled my hair, and painted for me...
He even feared that I would feel burdened by the early morning greetings, so he instructed the servants not to wake me, allowing me to sleep as long as I needed.
His consideration only deepened my feelings for him.
Yet, unbeknownst to me, he had been hiding something for three years.
He had a child with another woman!
When Lin Han stood before me with that child, I felt as if my entire world had collapsed.
So I asked him, "Lin Han, do you love me?"
"Yes," he answered without hesitation.
"Then why have you been with another woman behind my back?" I questioned him.
"A Jin," he looked at me in pain, "it's not like that..."
"Then what is it like?" I gazed at him through tear-filled eyes.
"A Jin..." He reached out to embrace me, but I pulled away.
