In his previous life, Pei Ji was forced to marry a junior male whom he disliked as his official wife. He vented all his anger and humiliation on that mute, speaking harshly to him, exposing him to cold gazes, and even refusing to touch him, which led to reprimands from the elders of the Pei family.
Later, the Pei family's high achievements aroused the emperor's constant suspicion. Even his eldest sister, who was an imperial concubine, was neglected and demoted. Then, the emperor used every means to bring down the Pei family!
Suddenly, the Pei family became fish on a chopping block, with no one daring to plead for them. Only that official wife, whom he had despised, wore an official uniform and beat the drum of injustice. Although he couldn't speak, his blood-stained petition was undeniable.
Those clear, tear-filled eyes became his eternal nightmare. A fortune-teller once said that He Zhiliao would have a life of peace and joy, but he felt that the master was inaccurate, because his father ignored him, his mother disliked him, and even the husband he was to marry harbored all sorts of disdain for him.
Yet, he had no regrets. Being disliked was common. Even if his husband neglected him, he still had enough food and clothing. Even if the elders questioned him, they never beat or cursed him. He originally thought he would spend the rest of his life being disliked by his husband, and then be hastily buried after death.
However, one day he opened his eyes and saw his husband sleeping beside him in the same bed. His husband had been very strange recently; he didn't attend court, didn't socialize with friends, and insisted on following him every day, even watching him write...
As his belly grew larger day by day, he chuckled in a daze, realizing the master's prophecy seemed to be correct. The little mute indeed lived a life of peace and joy.
Before rebirth — Pei Ji, full of disgust, said: "You'd better hide yourself and don't let me see your disgusting face!" He Zhiliao hurriedly lowered his head and hid, meaning 'yes'.
After rebirth — Pei Ji, full of flattery, said: "Wife, wife, I haven't seen you for an incense stick's time, wife, hug me~" He Zhiliao hurriedly reached out to hug him, meaning 'okay'.
