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.

Im reading it now. Agreed with one reviewer, I loved how rational and logical the FL was at the start. Now it just feels cold. She literally so tone deaf. I get she wants to practise and that's it but her ignorance of what's going on around her is scary. Same with the grandfather... if she is so cold... why does she want a grandfather who essentially treated a young child like an adult?

And her mother is just a weak person on that alone jm glad there is no attempt... more>> made to rationalise her mother's weakness. <<less

It is an interesting read. The novel touched me a number of times and would easily be a great novel, however the biggest weakness is unfortunately the FL.

Her biggest advantage is that she is understanding of her place and apathetic to the world. She doesn’t feel tied to anyone, not her mother’s house, not her husband, not her biological father.. Etc. This makes life smooth for her in a disadvantaged situation where she has married above her station, but even as the ML falls in love with her, she is... more>> like a piece of stale wood, unmoving and dead on the inside.

Honestly, FL has a tragic backstory, but despite this other characters seem to have more life and vitality than her. Even her leftover victims, her father, her brothers, all of these relationships could’ve been turned into moments where the FL showed that her heart could be moved. But she is like a robot, saying “just move forward.” It is hard to like a novel with a FL as indifferent to other people like her. <<less

If the author had spent half the time she spent trying to force us to believe the fls father was a victim/ a good person on the fl's developement this would have been a way more enjoyable read.

The FL was just so cold and apathetic and it was actually fine in the beginning (ngl I actually liked her for it) but she just never grew out of it and stayed in that mindset. Due to this she also came off as a selfish character who didn't care about how her... more>> actions affected anyone around her including the ml. After about the nth time the ML made a concession for her without her appreciating or understanding what he had to sacrifice it just became annoying.

Back to the fl's father, from the point he was introduced, it actually seemed like he became the main focus of the story and the mc's were pushed to the background. This might have been tolerable if he was actually a compelling character and not just somebody who's whole arc is about being pitiful and missing his daughter while being cold to his other children. It was a bit hypocritical to paint him as "father of the year" while his other children were just footnotes in his life. After reading how he treated his second daughter it was no wonder she turned out the way she did. Not to mention how he completely abandoned his son. Like sir those are your children whether you like it or not. Tbh if I had to read a parent's story, I would have much rather read about the fls mother and her new husband.

The ML was actually okay but again he often faded into the background. It just seemed like his role in the book was only to accommodate the FL while she made absolutely zero effort.

It's so sad because this could have actually been interesting but in the end it wasn't even entertaining. <<less

Spoiler

In the end, it left me with a slightly bitter taste, I feel that the FL will never be worthy of the ml, he made so many concessions for her, and she until the end doubted him, at every step, he may have set the rules but it was because they did not know each other, but with the passage of time he falls in love with her and gives in for her in a very remarkable way, how he cares for her, for resolving misunderstandings, not making her doubt, always putting her first place and she is only cold, even a piece of ice is warmer than the fl, who for her grandfather was willing to go crazy with the entire royal family, even though it would cost the ml's family their lives, and what the ML did, he told her not to worry I'll fix it, he never blames her for the deceptions, he always supports her even if her ideas were crazy. Now the real villain for me was the grandfather, he did not hesitate to separate the parents of the fl, and then turn the FL into the cold heartless woman, I felt very sorry for the story of the parents of the fl, in the end they loved each other so much but because of lies and misunderstandings they separated, but they still loved each other, although the mother was already married, or he with a family, they always loved each other, I must also say that if the mother was firmer with her ideas perhaps in the end she would have been with the father of the fl, but her insecurities led them both down different paths, maybe for a decade or more they were separated but in the end they manage to grow old together, it was the grandfather of the FL who separates them and raises the FL without love, maybe he thought he was doing well, but just by seeing the insecurities of the fl, you can see that he failed

It's a good novel with a very interesting FL for that period of time. She is unbothered by social convention and not blinded/restrained by love or relationships, akin to a strong modern independant woman. Rare to read as FL has no rebirth or transmigration. The ML is more like a block of wood slowly warming up.

The backstory of the FL is quite sad, and somewhat tragic especially for her father.
