The Astonishing Branch

The synopsis is complete! The next story will be "Spring Morning Morning" (a story of a ruler taking his subject's wife, forced possession, and a wife-chasing inferno).

Bie Zhi is an orphan and an assassin. Normally, after completing her master's tasks, she loves to go to the shop by the city gate to eat a steaming bowl of dumplings, and chat with the deaf mute in the shop.

The deaf mute cannot hear or speak, but his face is very handsome. The long scar cannot hide his beauty; a glance can relieve fatigue. Most importantly, what Bie Zhi tells the deaf mute, he will forever keep her company and hide it for her.

Therefore, Bie Zhi often complained to him about her master, who was comparable to King Yama. Bie Zhi had never seen her master, only signing contracts and taking money to do tasks. The reward given by the master was very generous, but particularly torturous.

Bie Zhi was distressed and decided to leave after the contract expired. She told the deaf mute about this. How to leave, where to roam the world, where to hide after her whereabouts were discovered, she told the deaf mute everything.

On the day of her departure, as she walked along the wall, she suddenly heard her master's familiar voice. Startled, she quickly hid herself behind the dense bushes in the forest courtyard. Unexpectedly, the footsteps grew closer and closer.

Bie Zhi raised her eyes and met the deaf mute's gentle, smiling, silent gaze. She breathed a sigh of relief, until the deaf mute asked her, "Where are you preparing to go?"

Bie Zhi was so startled that her lips parted slightly. The deaf mute's voice sounded too much like her master's!

Before she could recover, she saw a figure run up and cup his hands, saying, "Your Highness, we have not seen Miss Bie Zhi." Bie Zhi almost couldn't breathe.

In this dynasty, there is only one Prince: the Regent, Fu Huaiqing. In an instant, Bie Zhi felt that her life was forfeit. Fortunately, heaven favored Bie Zhi, and instead of being imprisoned, she was taken back to the Prince's mansion.

Bie Zhi was confined in a courtyard. As days passed, Bie Zhi felt that this life was not bad. But whenever this thought arose, Fu Huaiqing would send her a steaming bowl of dumplings. Bie Zhi: "..."

*A vibrant sweet girl x a powerful Regent.

*The superior bows for love.

------Next in line is "Spring Morning Morning"-------

In the capital, everyone knows that Lin Zhi Nian is the most proud and free woman in the world, and the most dazzling existence. Her every word and deed is imitated by many noble ladies, until she meets the person who occupies her heart.

For that person, she was willing to become a caged bird in his hands. She married into his mansion at a lower status, washed away her fine clothes, learned to serve her in-laws, manage household affairs, and do everything herself. She worked her heart out for his career, and even brought in his beloved as a concubine, just for him to glance at her.

However, Lin Zhi Nian never received a proper look from him, even when she was bedridden. On the day of her death, the mansion was filled with joy. To 'ward off evil spirits', he could legitimately bring his beloved as his wife.

Lin Zhi Nian's soul drifted before the mourning hall. The guests who came and went chatted and laughed, discussing her husband's future, as if it were a banquet, not a mourning hall. The guard said something to her husband, who then decisively left the crowd.

A moment later, a person, like the moon surrounded by stars, stepped into the courtyard. Lin Zhi Nian recognized him as the Crown Prince Zhao Anli, who sat firmly in the Eastern Palace. He stood in the mourning hall for a while, his sharp eyes indifferently scanning everyone present, finally landing on Lin Zhi Nian.

Lin Zhi Nian was so scared that she thought he could see her. Zhao Anli did not stay long. As he left, Lin Zhi Nian inexplicably uncontrollable, followed him. She heard him say to his guard, "Lin Zhi Nian is beautiful, but alas, she is foolish." Lin Zhi Nian was speechless.

A gust of wind blew, blurring her eyes. When she opened them again, she was back to the day before her marriage.

-

Once reborn, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Zhi Nian still chose to marry beneath her. She did not expect that on their wedding day, Zhao Anli would also arrive. Later, he climbed over the wall and cornered her step by step. The man's finger slowly caressed her lips.

His eyes were dark, and he leaned down, saying, "How about I divorce him for you?"
