One person: I am standing behind you, but the whole Wei

When Cao Ning heard these resentful words, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he tilted his head slightly to look at the beauty beside him.

The moonlight shone on her delicate skin, creating a faint rosy glow, and her straight nose wrinkled in dissatisfaction.

That delicate little face showed a look of slight grievance and a hint of resentment.

Their eyes met immediately, and the originally quiet air was filled with a hint of ambiguity.

Cai Wenji blinked her dark blue eyes and saw some changes in Cao Ning's temperament. In the past, Cao Ning's temperament was more like that of an energetic young man...

Now he is more mature, and his growth in the outside world in the past few years has led to such a big change in him...

That young boy has now become a real man...

I couldn't help but feel a little sad. He must have suffered a lot outside!

When summoned to this world, my heart is more confused and helpless.

Although those generals and civil officials all came from the Wei Kingdom, they always felt out of place...

When I saw the description of myself as an unparalleled beauty in history books, I couldn't help but feel a little sad...

Since ancient times, beautiful women have had a short life, or you could say...

In that era, women had no status.

This is still true even if you were born into the great literary family of Cai.

Although his father Cai Yong was known as a talented man of his generation, he was knowledgeable and proficient in astronomy, mathematics, poetry, calligraphy and music, and his achievements in each area represented the highest level of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Under the influence of my father, I also learned poetry, music, etc.

In our time, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent...

What an irony this sentence is!

In their concept, a woman’s role is to take care of her husband and children at home, which is the highest contribution to life!

Even my father Cai Yong, who was known as a great writer, thought the same!

This was the sorrow of women in that era.

When she was sixteen, her father arranged for her to marry into the Wei family in Hedong...

Hate?

Of course I do, but what’s the use of hating?

He is the father who gave birth to me and raised me, and also the mentor who taught me music, chess, calligraphy and painting!

After marrying into the Wei family, I lived with my nominal "husband" Wei Zhongdao in mutual respect for two years.

Why is it respectful to each other...

That's because I later learned that Wei Zhongdao likes men...

Marrying me would only be considered a marriage between two families.

In other words, the Wei family was impressed by his talent and wanted to take advantage of this chaotic time to form an alliance with the Cai family and gain a foothold in the local area.

After I got married, my nominal husband and I were just nodding acquaintances.

I have no connection with him, so I thought it was fine...

In this way, you can do what you like most, such as studying music, poetry, etc.

Two years passed like this...

Wei Zhongdao is dead!

And she died on a man's bed!

At that time, the Wei family knew that Wei Zhongdao had a crush on Long Yang!

Once this matter is exposed, the Wei family will inevitably be ostracized in the local area!

They discussed and did something extremely disgusting!

That is to declare to the public that Wei Zhongdao was killed by himself...

Correct!

He was killed by himself!

But she did not do anything wrong. After marrying into the Wei family, she worked diligently.

She was given the title of "husband killer" in that era...

In that extremely superstitious era, it was as if I had done this.

Countless rumors were directed at me, and countless insults came at me like a barrage.

But I really didn't do anything wrong?

This may be the sadness of that era...

The sorrow of being a woman!

I have lofty ambitions in my heart, but due to the secular world, I have no chance to realize them.

He returned home dejectedly, but that period was a very turbulent time for the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

Not long after, his father Cai Yong was framed by the court prime minister Wang Yun and died in prison.

The family's property was also divided up one by one by those covetous nobles.

There was some unrest in the capital city. Thinking back to the skills I had learned before, they were not enough to survive in this world.

Think about how ironic it is. Even my father Cai Yong, who was known as a literary genius at the time, was killed by a scheme.

These people are like skinny jackals hiding in the mountains.

One day, a kind hunter passed by and felt sorry for them, so he fed them some food...

It wagged its tail fiercely at the hunter, as if to express its loyalty.

But a huge fire came from nowhere and burned all the trees to ashes.

Those jackals that were not burned to death, when they walked out of the bushes, saw the fire coming from nowhere and kept cursing it.

When the hunter saw the jackals, a look of relief appeared on his face. Fortunately, the fire did not take the lives of the jackals that were fed.

Just as the hunter was about to step forward to greet the jackal, he was greeted by a bloody mouth!

It bit the hunter's neck fiercely and greedily sucked his flesh and blood...

The other jackals that survived and chose to wait and see, rushed forward without hesitation the moment they smelled the blood.

The hunter died...

There wasn't even a trace of wreckage left.

The hunters did not understand during their lifetime why the jackals they fed would bite them to death!

I saved your lives!

The jackals had occupied the hunter's cabin and started a new reproduction!

The hunter is the father, the wooden house is the Cai family at that time, and the jackals are the noble families waiting for an opportunity to strike!

......

At that time, no one wanted to come out to help the Cai family, and she had no choice but to flee with her dowry maid.

but...

There are many noble families who have approached me...

They said I could choose to help myself, but I had to take me as my concubine!

These people are just after their fame...

How could I possibly accept such a request!

To survive among those families?

So as the refugees fled to the Guanzhong area...

But then there was a melee between Li Jue and Guo Si, and the people were living in misery...

In the chaos, the Qiang and Hu foreign soldiers took advantage of the situation to loot and plunder the people. They "hung men's heads on the side of horses and carried women behind horses" and marched through the desert and returned triumphantly.

In fact, I was already dead before I was kidnapped...

Correct!

I was starving to death at that time...

At the age of 23, that was actually considered longevity in that era, right?

And the history records...

Those Huns abducted her maidservant, but they were attracted by her status!

They felt that abducting a famous Han woman was a very honorable thing for the Huns.

Thinking about my sad life...

Was it my fault?

It should be said that the era was wrong...

It is recorded later that Cao Cao took her back, and it was actually her maidservant who was brought back.

As for the poems he produced, they were actually his works during his lifetime.

I don't know how many years I have been sleeping, and now I appear in this space...

Looking at this familiar environment and somewhat unfamiliar antique street, it always seems a bit out of place.

but...

At that time, a young man found himself, it was Cao Ning!

I still remember how shy he was at that time...

Holding a guitar in his hand, he asked himself with an extremely nervous look, wanting to see the song he was playing.

Looking at that piano, it seemed as if the first half of my life was just a dream.

This means that death is rebirth, right?

later...

Cao Ning, this little rascal, uses the excuse of wanting to listen to music to get into my stomach every day...

At that time, I thought he really liked music.

To put it in modern terms, it is also possible to... like yourself.

Gradually.

My heart, which had never moved in twenty-three years, seemed to be beating a little bit.

I fell in love with this brother who is nearly 2,000 years younger than me...

After a drunken streak, something changed...
