Summary: You Yuji married into the Chen family by imperial decree, only to find her groom openly cavorting with a courtesan on their wedding day—an outrageously absurd situation.

Everyone thought You Yuji would cry herself to sleep every night and live the life of a resentful wife. However, she surprised them all by enjoying her days leisurely, brewing tea, listening to music, and sipping wine in the snow. She even took pity on Chen Anzhi’s newly acquired concubine and looked after her.

Gradually, this concubine clung to her, affectionately calling her “sister” and becoming increasingly close.

They not only ate together but also slept and bathed together.

However, once their clothes came off, You Yuji discovered an incredible secret.

Initially, she had only intended to be kind to the poor concubine, but who would have thought that kindness would lead her to run away pregnant with the concubine!

Chen Anzhi loved two women in his life.

One was a sickly princess from another country, his unattainable white moonlight, whom he finally managed to bring into his household as a concubine.

The other was his initially loathed wife, whom he later realized he had deeply fallen in love with.

Fortunately, both women were by his side, and he was content.

… But who could explain why his white moonlight was actually a man, and why this man had such a deep bond with his wife, now having two children together?! He hadn’t even had a chance to touch his wife!

Review: I got hooked up at the beginning. But overtime it's only focus on MC and ML intimate interaction while the conflict is like a side dish. It resolved easily and quickly. A lot plot hole but overall I enjoyed reading the story. MC is from Si country. The Si country surrendered to Chen country. The royals are imprisoned in their own residence. MC father is a general who died in battle for Chen. MC mother become sick. MC only has a younger brother. Her family come to Chen 2 years ago. Her father want to gain power so MC can choose her husband, but then he died in battle. The Chen emperor want to unite the 12 countries. Only 3 countries left. Chen emperor want to make peace with the surrendered countries so he matchmaking them with Chen people. Including MC. MC was offered to choose which prince she want to marry. MC choose Chen Anzhi the 4th prince because he doesn't have ambition for the throne. Chen crown prince is a coward and dislike by the emperor. So the other princes compete to throw down the crown prince. Chen Anzhi is from Jinnian palace. His father fought along the emperor when they are younger. But overtime king Jinnian showed no interest with the throne. On MC wedding night, Chen Anzhi got drunk and neglect her. He brought 2 concubines from brothel. MC then lost hope to become husband and wife with Chen Anzhi. Chen Anzi already slept with his cousin. The cousin is pregnant with his child. Chen Anzhi promise to marry her but then MC choose to marry him. Chen Anzhi resent MC due to the cousin provocation. Then Chen Anzhi brought back ML who dressed as woman. ML is a prince from Si country. He is the crown prince twin. ML father believe the advisor who said ML won't live until 20 and need to dress as woman to make the country stabilize. ML mother poke ML throat to make his adam apple disappear. Only the royals know that ML is a prince so MC also doesn't know. MC felt pity for ML since he is a princess who fell down and become concubine. MC tried to take care of ML. ML then slowly like getting pampered by MC. ML is not interested with anything because his life is full of lies. He thought he really sickly and won't live until 20. But then the advisor is a liar. ML is actually healthy but due to daily medicine from childhood, he really become sick. So he learn poison and use his own body to test the poison. He really become sickly and won't live long. ML reveal his gender to MC because MC always treat her as sister and get too close. MC distancing herself once she knew ML gender. ML thought she'll become angry and curse him but MC said there must be a reason for ML to dress up as woman. She'll just help ML to keep it as secret. ML got bored and plan to leave Chen. An imperial doctor said MC mother need umbilical cord of close relative which is from MC's child. MC then plan to get a man but she only want to keep the child not the man. She then thought ML won't live long so there won't be issue. She asked ML help. ML agreed. He stopped poisoning himself but he become weaker when stop drinking the medicine. Chen Anzhi cousin tried to kill MC. MC asked Chen Anzhi to sign divorced paper. MC said they'll announce their divorced once the empress dowager come back to the capital by the end of the year. The cousin doesn't want to become concubine. She plan to kill Chen Anzhi and his mother so her own child will inherit the prince title. Chen Anzhi mother is pregnant in old age. The cousin drugged Chen Anzhi, his mother and his sister then set her house on fire. MC already suspicious and want to warrant CA's mother. Then she saw the fire. She went to back door and rescue CA mother. CA shu brother also went in and save CA and the sister. CA mother seriously injured but her child still saved. CA right hand is burned badly. The sister's chin got burned. CA father got furious and throw CA into military. The cousin is returned to her family. ML then killed her and make her head as lantern. After that it feels all conflicts are sped up. ML twin brother want him to help with rebel and restore their own kingdom. ML is not interested so the twin make Chen crown prince believe MC has phoenix fate to make her husband ascend the throne. MC is kidnapped by the Chen crown prince. ML saved her. He then realized he need power so everyone won't covet MC. ML support his twin brother to unite the 12 kingdom. In the end ML switched to him and take the throne. The twin plan to kidnap MC but he was killed by MC in one shot. MC gave birth to twin. The extras is about MC children.
