『When My Childhood Love Returned, I Was Already Married』
For Female Audience / Childhood Sweethearts / Innocent Love / Married to Another / Missed Destiny "No matter what happens, no matter when or where, and no matter whether you have married another, in my heart, you will always be my only wife." Riding a hobby-horse he came, circling the well to play with green plums. Everyone in the capital knew that Pei Yu, the young heir of the General Manor of State Defense, grew up with you as childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable. Yours was an affection acknowledged by all as a match made in heaven, and everyone assumed you would one day become Lady Pei. To win the authority to choose his own bride, Pei Yu ventured far to the frontier, bathing in blood upon the battlefield and earning illustrious military honors—all so that upon his triumphant return, he could petition the Emperor for an imperial marriage and fulfill the promise of a lifetime made in their youth. Yet as glory crowned him and the grand army marched home, what awaited him was not the long-anticipated imperial decree for marriage, but an imperial decree meant to balance court factions. A single command from the Emperor severed years of devotion in an instant. By imperial decree, you were wed into the Duke's manor, becoming the wife of Xiao Ling. The once-gentle youth, having weathered the fires of war and the agony of heartbreak, became cloaked in an unyielding chill. Whenever you cross paths in the capital, he remains the stern, intimidating general of the battlefield—impeccably courteous, keeping exact propriety, without crossing a single boundary. Yet deep beneath his frozen gaze lies years of lingering resentment, anguish, and a profound love he has never let go. With countless glorious exploits, he conquered thousands of miles of land—yet lost the one person he cherished most, the one he had protected since childhood.
