Chapter 57:

Yes, initially, Changle resisted inwardly. Who wanted their shining life to take such a turn? Who desired to marry someone they knew nothing about?

Eventually lost in the darkness of consciousness, Changle found redemption in Su Lis tenderness.

Perhaps it was forced. Perhaps it was because only Su Li treated her as a person, not a piece of wood, respecting her. He became her salvation, and she embraced her other half.

An ordinary peasant!

At least he treated her well. Su Li was the last spark of tenderness in her darkness, a warmth she clung to in the boundless abyss.

Later Changles awareness began to clear. She learned from the female officer that her husband, though a peasant, was exceedingly handsome.

People were like that after bracing for the worst outcome, every change became a pleasant surprise.

Oh! Her husband wasnt a weathered, thin, and bitter old peasant.

Later on Su Lis warmth brightened Changles days. She enjoyed Su Lis company, progressing from shyness to eagerness. She even recalled the lingering feeling after their kiss. She started to enjoy her husbands humble tales.

Well even though it might sound ordinary, it was genuinely captivating, wasnt it?

Later on, she learned from Su Dingfang that her husband was incredibly brave, although he never flaunted it. Su Dingfangs high praise made Princess Changle realize that as long as her husband was willing, he could easily excel on the battlefield, achieving titles and honors.

Su Li wasnt just an ordinary peasant. He had hidden potential like a treasure. Because of this, Princess Changle grew anxious and began to feel lost. She worried that she might have held back Su Li and even felt that she, a seemingly useless person, didnt deserve him.

Then later, Su Li revealed his feelings, and she heard her husband sigh, learning about his concerns. He worried that she might not accept him once she woke up or not like him.

Although it was the first time Su Li displayed sorrow in front of Princess Changle, and although she wished to soothe away the furrowed brows on his face, she couldnt help but secretly revel in the feeling.

Afterwards she began to hear her husband share more and more captivating stories. From Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to the Red Chamber, she was astonished to discover that these stories, sentences, and words were beautifully crafted.

She heard from the palace attendants that her husband had written two lines of poetry,

The belt gradually loosens, yet no regrets remain, for him, she fades away into a haggard look.

Changle realized her husband had profound literary talent and could not be a mere peasant. It was an indescribable feeling to have a man who perfectly matched her fantasies and turned out to be her husband, obtained through such unique circumstances.

At times, he would even inexplicably skip portions of the stories he told her or circle back to segments he had already discussed. Su Li began to become absent-minded, and the sadness grew heavier.

Is it because of me? Since my husband sighed that time, it seems like he had been increasingly absent-minded.

Changle realized that his emotional unrest seemed to be because of her. Princess Changle couldnt help but speculate.

Is it that Im about to wake up?

So my husband is very worried? Worried that I will not accept him, not recognize him?

Damn it, the stories he has been telling are all mixed up

Wait until I wake up. I must have my husband tell me the stories again! Princess Changle thought.

On this day Changle heard her husband telling a story wrong and seemed particularly absent-minded. Until evening, when Su Li held her in his arms on the bed. Even when their lips were together, she could feel his distraction.

How can he be absent-minded at a time like this? Changle felt especially dissatisfied.

What is my husband worried about?

Does he frown?

Changle thought about these messy things, gradually feeling sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt Su Lis body move. Su Li pulled away, separating their lips.

Changle couldnt help but feel a sense of loss in her heart before she could figure out what was happening. Before she could understand what was happening, Changle felt Su Li put something in her mouth.

Her body instinctively swallowed

A liquid with a cool sensation spread through her body with the swallow.

Princess Changle felt her consciousness becoming clearer and clearer, even sensing a slight tingling sensation on her body. She began to feel every inch of her limbs.

Am I going to wake up? She thought.

Yes, Princess Changle was mentally prepared for this. If it wasnt for her waking up, her husband wouldnt be so absent-minded and increasingly worried for no reason.

Moreover, Changle had already experienced Su Li feeding her something special before.
