Breeze Never Too Late

She, has always refused to let go of her childhood pride.
Initially, he forced her into submission in the harshest way possible, which made her despise him to the bone.
At twenty, she abandoned her husband, followed a man she thought was worthy of her, only to end up being violently mistreated.
Yet, it was he who raised her from the rain when she was at her most helpless moment.
Fate brought her back to her eighteenth year, for a do-over. She emerged from her cocoon, when hate was replaced by regret, she shed her thorny exterior, but does she still have the right to pursue happiness?
But why does he always remind her in the coldest voice, "He Zhilan, I don't want the He Family to raise an ungrateful wretch."
Or menacingly warn her, "He Zhilan, don't force me to take away your freedom!"

Stars In His Eyes

"Isn't it legal to get married at the age of eighteen?" He Zhilan asked back.


Tan Heqian nodded and mumbled, "That's true, but…" He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, instead shifting the topic onto Zhilan's husband, a soldier.


"How did you meet your husband? How long has he been a soldier? Does he come home rarely? And won't it be tough for you afterward?" he asked.


"We've known each other since we were very young, he joined the military through connections when he was fifteen," answered Zhilan, unwilling to reveal to Tan Heqian that she was He Teng's child bride. The identity of a child bride wasn't something she cherished.


"You two grew up together then?" Tan Heqian asked, seemingly envious.


"You could say that," replied Zhilan, finding it somehow not so bad to be misunderstood by him. Growing up as a child bride or as childhood friends were the same, but the latter sounded more pleasing and enviable.
