Synopsis: He's had enough!
The dignified Regent Prince is being forced into marriage by the Eldest Princess and ministers, who are even sending pampered young ladies from various families to his room for every meal and midnight snack—Tch! Feeding him so much at once, even if he can eat it all, he'll get indigestion!
To avoid being "overworked and abused," he simply left the palace. Unexpectedly, he met his soulmate there. He was deeply attracted by her charming appearance and fiery temper, willingly lowering his pride and using every sweet word and trick to win over this beautiful teahouse girl, making her fall in love with him and lose her virginity… Although he was certain that his feelings for her were unchangeable, how could a noble prince marry a commoner as his principal wife?
Unfortunately, she was extremely stubborn, declaring at the beginning of their acquaintance that if she couldn't be his only one, he would rather never see her again…
Prologue:
Her name was Bai Ting'er. She
was the only surviving member of the Bai family. Her parents hadn't had time to give her a younger brother or sister before they both succumbed to illness and passed away.
That year, Bai Ting'er was only eight years old. Now, she is eighteen, a beautiful young woman in the prime of her life. Many suitors have come to propose, but her elders, who depend on her for support, are still searching for a suitable match, so she remains unmarried.
She is pretty but not strikingly beautiful, with a well-proportioned and full figure, though not particularly alluring. She usually appears gentle and refined, with a charming personality. Although born into a merchant family, she possesses a dignified air and has been deeply influenced by literature
since childhood, exhibiting the qualities of a well-bred young lady. She has been well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and has also received instruction in female precepts and virtuous conduct. However, due to her family environment and the impact of her parents' death, she possesses an innate stubbornness and resilience that allows her to thrive without suppression.
Under the loving care and upbringing of her two aunts—her father's two concubines—she is not only intelligent and quick-witted but also decisive and resolute in her actions. Her
gentle and refined appearance is merely a facade; in reality, she lacks even the slightest trace of the humility and indecisiveness common to ordinary young women.
In other words, her first impression—gentle and demure—was entirely designed to deceive those who met her for the first time. This was also one of the reasons why her aunts hadn't yet chosen a husband for her; finding a man who could tolerate her temperament and appreciate her personality was no easy feat.
Her parents' sudden passing left her, a young girl, alone in the world. It was assumed her fate would be like a drifting duckweed, a life of dependence on distant relatives, and the Bai family's fortune would be lost.
Such a prediction wasn't surprising; after all, her two aunts were still young, and it wouldn't be unusual for them to remarry. The fact that they had no blood relation to Bai Ting'er meant they could easily have divided the inheritance and fled, abandoning her without a second thought or remorse. But they didn't.
After accepting this sudden change, Geng Qianyun and He Xijiao, two young and beautiful widows, cared for Bai Ting'er, who had lost her parents' protection and love, meticulously looking after her daily life. The three of them depended on each other for survival. While raising this little orphan girl, they also had to work tirelessly, taking on the responsibility of managing the small tea shop left by Bai Ting'er's father to make ends meet.
As a child, Bai Ting'er didn't find their actions particularly special until she grew up and realized how rare these two concubines were.
Back then, the older generation of servants in the Bai family, as well as customers and tea farmers who dealt with the Bai family's tea shop, found it incredibly unbelievable.
No one could have imagined that the two women, who constantly quarreled and only knew how to glare at each other jealously and compete for favor during the late Master Bai's lifetime, could actually put aside their past grievances, reconcile, and shoulder the responsibility of caring for the daughter of the principal wife and managing Bai Ting'er's tea shop business, without a single selfish thought.
The people of the city then said that although Master Bai died young, he must have accumulated good karma in his previous life to be able to marry two affectionate and righteous concubines in addition to his gentle principal wife. After the death of the Bai family patriarch, many lecherous men who coveted the beauty of the two concubines sent matchmakers to persuade them to remarry, but they all refused with firm conviction.
Apart from Bai Ting'er's mother, who was married into the family through an arranged marriage, Geng Qianyun and He Xijiao were brought into the Bai family only because they genuinely had feelings for the patriarch.
They were not lowly women who coveted the Bai family's wealthy lifestyle, but rather good daughters from respectable families. Geng Qianyun's father was a teacher who had passed the imperial examinations but had no ambition for officialdom, and her elder brother held a minor official position in the capital. If she hadn't married her patriarch, she might have married her brother's colleague and would now be an official's wife!
He Xijiao was no less capable than Geng Qianyun. Her family, like the Bai family, was in Wutong City, owning the largest tea shop in the mountain town. She should have married her childhood sweetheart, but she betrayed her devoted childhood friend, falling in love with a married man instead. She ultimately had to quarrel with her family to finally marry the Bai family patriarch.
So, how to put it? Two women, both with excellent qualities and qualified to marry into good families as wives, had to grit their teeth and compromise themselves for love and affection, marrying into the Bai family as concubines.
Three women sharing one husband—just deciding which room to sleep in each day caused endless arguments. Which one wasn't scheming to gain the husband's exclusive favor? Even a well-bred lady couldn't help but become a shrew, her heart corrupted by love.
Although Bai Ting'er's father gave equal love and care to all his wives and concubines, it wasn't enough for women yearning for love. Who wouldn't want to exclusively possess their husband's love?
Her biological mother was somewhat better off, having married into the Bai family through an arranged marriage. Any affection she had for Master Bai was cultivated after marriage, and compared to Geng Qianyun and He Xijiao, she truly felt inferior. However, due to her traditional upbringing, once married, she obediently followed her husband for life, having little inclination to consider love or affection.
As the principal wife, she already held a higher status than the two concubines. Of the three women, only she bore Master Bai a child. Although Bai Ting'er was a girl, she was the only woman to have given her husband an heir, so there was no need for her to join the competition for favor.
Therefore, the real battles and fierce arguments were between the two concubines.
But fate is unpredictable, and one's fate is determined by heaven; no matter how unwilling or resentful you are, there is nothing you can do about it.
Once the man who had driven them to scheme and plot against each other was buried in the earth, there was nothing left for them to fight over.
No matter how much they fought, they couldn't possibly win against fate, could they?
After years of arguing and fighting, in the end, the legal wife was rightfully buried in the same grave as her husband. Even as ghosts, they were companions on the road to the underworld, a way of enjoying her husband's undivided attention—a way that evoked sorrow and heartache… After tearfully handling the funeral arrangements for Master Bai and his wife, the two concubines never argued or fought again. Their past conflicts vanished like smoke, never to be mentioned again.
Without the man who had caused their falling out, they could see each other's strengths. They became supportive sisters. And Bai Ting'er, Master Bai's only child, stirred their maternal instincts when they lost their center of gravity, allowing them to compensate for the regret of not having given birth to a child for their beloved by loving Bai Ting'er.
After the departure of Master Bai, who had connected them, the relationship between the two adults and the child actually grew closer, and they truly became a family.
Geng Qianyun and He Xijiao genuinely loved Bai Ting'er. Having personally experienced the pain and helplessness of sharing a husband, they instilled in her from a young age that when choosing a husband, one should not seek wealth or good looks, but only unwavering devotion and affection.
Even if feelings already existed, the same principle applied; devoted love was paramount. True happiness lay in a peaceful and joyful life together.
From the age of eight, her two aunts instilled in her the idea that she should never share a husband, thus deeply embedding this belief in her heart even in her youth.
As she grew older and more sensible, this conviction only strengthened; she would rather marry a penniless beggar than share a husband… But just like her parents' early death, how could one control fate? It was all predetermined by heaven!
Bai Ting'er is destined to be emotionally entangled with a man of high status and power, and is destined to suffer heartbreak and physical harm for this man who brings her countless romantic encounters.
As for whether she will find happiness in the future, that depends on her fate...
