Cherry Blossoms Falling

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter.
Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed?
Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money.
Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

Gu Youyou followed Marquess Yue into the house with trepidation, and then into the study.

It wasn't her fault her mind raced; just now, Marquess Yue had been engrossed in a painting of a beauty. Before Gu Youyou entered, he had clearly been lost in contemplation. Recalling how she had captivated everyone with her charcoal drawing on New Year's Eve, she assumed that besides the old Marchioness, Marquess Yue too must have been unable to forget the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady she had fabulated.


"Do you want me to draw the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady for you?" Gu Youyou asked.
