Yan Jing'an was arrogant before, but as he grew older, his concern for the people and the country grew stronger.
If I can make some contributions to the country before I die, then my life will not have been in vain.
Therefore, Yan Jing'an accepted the emperor's appointment and became a member of the Hanlin Academy.
His official position was insignificant, and he didn't care what official title he could be given.
What he cared about was whether his strategies could be valued by the emperor and used to improve people's livelihoods.
Yan Jing'an was a man of great talent, and he quickly gained the emperor's favor. The two became close friends in private.
Some of the strategies he proposed were adopted as much as possible.
By the time he passed away, the pitfalls left by the old emperor had been almost completely filled in, and the people lived in peace and prosperity.
Yan Jing'an passed away peacefully.
As for Jiang Tian, as the wife of a subject, her fate was not so good.
The Yan family knew about her background and looked down on her.
After Yan Jing'an died, she was kicked out of the house and had to fend for herself.
Jiang Tian did not take a single penny of the property left by her husband.
She knew that her husband had already done a lot for her.
In the mundane world, Jiang Tian's life was not considered difficult.
However, her exceptional beauty eventually led to trouble.
Ultimately, after being targeted by a spoiled young master, Jiang Tian chose to drown herself in a lake to preserve her innocence.
To be fair, Yan Jing'an had been quite good to her; before he died, he even asked his friend to take care of her.
When he died, both of them remained respectful and never overstepped the bounds of propriety.
Yan Jing'an treated her as one of his own, but not as his wife. He was still willing to make plans for her because of this, which shows his deep affection and loyalty.
The problem is that the Yan family cannot accept her. Although Jiang Tian comes from a poor background, she has her own pride and refuses to accept charity or tarnish her husband's reputation for the sake of survival.
Therefore, she preferred to find her own way to make a living.
It's truly tragic and lamentable that this outcome occurred.
Jiang Tian doesn't play a significant role in the main timeline, and the male protagonist has only met him a few times.
As for the male supporting character, he is Yan Jing'an's good friend, and he also has a romantic relationship with the female lead.
The male supporting character didn't even know Jiang Tian.
[Target characters: Jiang Ting (male lead), Yuwen Zhuo (male supporting character)]
……………………
In a small courtyard in the capital, a passionate encounter had just ended.
Jiang Tian has been in this world for three years. The point in time when she transmigrated was when she was being bullied as a slave in the Yan family and was rescued by Yan Jing'an.
Not long ago, the elders of the Yan family urged them to get married, and the two successfully became husband and wife.
Jiang Tian did not choose to become a fake couple with Yan Jing'an.
The two walked together for three years, and Yan Jing'an gradually came to love her.
Elders urging marriage is just going with the flow.
Not long ago, Yan Jing'an accepted a friend's invitation to stay in Beijing for a while.
He owns a house in the capital, and the two of them have been living there for some time.
Sunlight streamed into the courtyard.
Jiang Tian remained in Yan Jing'an's arms.
She was being tenderly and affectionately caressed by her husband.
Being somewhat shy by nature, she silently clenched her teeth, closed her eyes slightly, and didn't want to make a sound.
Her face was flushed, as if she had applied a thin layer of rouge.
Looking at his wife's pitiful and adorable appearance, Yan Jing'an's handsome eyes were filled with deep affection.
"Husband, it's getting late. I... I'm going to buy some groceries..."
Jiang Tian hugged Yan Jing'an tightly, looking completely attached to him, but she didn't dare to look at him.
Yan Jing'an cupped her face in his hands and couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Then how will you see where you're going if you don't open your eyes?"
Jiang Tian knew he was teasing her, and her blush deepened.
She grasped Yan Jing'an's hand and slowly opened her eyes.
His eyes, black and white, were clear and bright, shimmering with affection.
The two looked at each other silently, and the next moment, they unconsciously hugged each other, feeling the rhythm of each other's hearts.
Jiang Tian naturally loved her husband.
Without him, she would probably still be struggling in that brothel, powerless and treated like merchandise, being passed around.
Nobody treated her with dignity.
She might also contract that venereal disease and die young.
She had taken a desperate gamble, sending a letter to Yan Jing'an with only a sliver of hope, thinking it would all be for naught. But who could have imagined that he would come to rescue her after receiving the letter?
He saved her from danger, and not just once.
When she was bullied in the Yan family, it was her husband who reached out to her again and led her out of that suffocating place.
Having spent three years together, Jiang Tian had long been captivated by Yan Jing'an's demeanor and had fallen deeply in love with him.
Yan Jing'an was no different.
He saved Jiang Tian with nothing more than a small favor, but who could have imagined that their fate would be so deep?
During these three years, Yan Jing'an fully appreciated Jiang Tian's kindness.
Such a beautiful woman, given enough time, will naturally win one's heart.
Yan Jing'an never considered himself to be a person detached from worldly affairs. After meeting Jiang Tian, he realized that he was just an ordinary person.
He would be restless and uneasy at the sight of his beloved woman's every smile and frown.
He originally didn't want to hold her back.
The biggest purpose of marrying her was simply to free her from her lowly status.
For the first two months after their marriage, Yan Jing'an didn't dare touch her even with a single finger.
In fact, his physique has been greatly improved over the years.
But he had it from birth; being physically strong doesn't mean he'll live a long life.
He genuinely didn't want to ruin Jiang Tian's life.
But one day two months later, Jiang Tian secretly entered his room.
With tears in her eyes, she asked him, "I love you, and you love me too, so why are you treating me like this? I don't ask for forever, I only ask for this moment."
Jiang Tiansheng was born in a brothel and was rescued by Yan Jing'an. She is a person with great self-respect and does not want to be treated lightly by others.
Yan Jing'an had witnessed firsthand how conservative she was.
But for the sake of marital bliss, she came to see him in the middle of the night.
...She must have struggled for many days.
Yan Jing'an softened.
He loved her just as much.
They are already husband and wife; on a worldly level, husband and wife are one.
Rather than being constrained, it's better to indulge in the present.
Later, they became a real couple.
Stealing a half-day of leisure from their busy lives, the two finished kissing. Yan Jing'an embraced his warm and soft wife in his arms, still unwilling to let go.
I felt a sense of peace and comfort I had never experienced before, a feeling I could only find when I was with Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian closed her eyes and silently kissed his forehead, her affection for him was palpable.
They are the most ordinary couple in the world, yet they are also rare lovers in the world.
After the two finished breakfast, Yan Jing'an took Jiang Tian to the study to read.
Jiang Tian was taught by her mother and naturally had read many books.
But Yan Jing'an was an extraordinary genius, and his literary achievements were even more profound.
Jiang Tian benefited greatly from studying under him.
After reading for a while and playing a game of chess, there was a knock at the door.
Jiang Tian and Yan Jing'an stayed at the house for a while, with only an old woman to help them.
Yan Jing'an naturally had a pageboy, but he had just sent the pageboy out to buy a rare book.
Jiang Tian happened to be in the courtyard. She walked over and whispered, "Who is it?"
