Married but the Marriage Was Never Consummated? The Reborn Delicate Wife Refuses to Marry Him and He Panics

Mei Wanying, the only daughter of the declining General Mei, spent her life devoted to Pei Yan, a man she believed was her childhood fiancé. Her obsession led her to follow him relentlessly, ignoring his cold indifference. In a tragic previous life, after discovering Pei Yan’s affection for another woman, Mei Wanying traveled to the military camp while pregnant, hoping to reconnect. Instead, she faced his fury and humiliation. Kidnapped by enemies who demanded a city for her release, she realized Pei Yan had abandoned her to save himself. Choosing dignity over suffering, she took her own life with a golden hairpin, dying alongside her unborn child.

Mei Wanying awoke to find herself reborn on the night of her forced marriage to Pei Yan. Having retained the memories of her painful past, she resolved to escape her fate. She fled Pei Yan’s embrace, leaving behind the life she had once coveted. Her mother, Madam Mei, had orchestrated the union to protect her daughter from the Crown Prince, who coveted Mei Wanying’s beauty and sought to make her a secondary consort. With the Mei family in decline and her mother’s health failing, Madam Mei believed marriage to Pei Yan was the only safeguard for her daughter’s future.

Pei Yan, recently revealed as the biological son of the Empress and the Emperor, had been raised by General Mei. He viewed Mei Wanying as a burdensome younger sister and resented her persistent advances. Upon waking, he discovered evidence of their intimacy and confronted her. Mei Wanying, determined to distance herself, claimed she had merely helped him to bed after he became drunk. She rejected his advances and refused to marry him, shocking those around her who expected her usual desperation.

The political landscape complicated matters further. The Crown Prince, threatened by Pei Yan’s return, intensified his pursuit of Mei Wanying to destabilize his rival. Empress Gu, Pei Yan’s biological mother, sought to use Mei Wanying as a political tool, considering her as a concubine to secure Pei Yan’s reputation and alliance with the Mei family. However, Pei Yan refused to let Mei Wanying enter his household as a secondary consort, insisting she marry someone who would treat her with genuine respect and monogamy.

As Pei Yan prepared to depart for the border to quell invasions, tensions between him and the Crown Prince escalated. The Crown Prince attempted to claim Mei Wanying, but Pei Yan publicly asserted his protection over her. Despite his indifference, he could not allow her to fall into the Crown Prince’s hands, viewing it as a matter of honor and repayment to General Mei. Meanwhile, Madam Mei struggled with the decision to reveal the truth of the previous night to Pei Yan, fearing his rejection but desperate to secure her daughter’s future.

Mei Wanying, now free from her past obsession, focused on protecting her mother and avoiding the political traps surrounding her. She rejected the role of the pitiful victim, standing firm against her mother’s pleas to accept Pei Yan. The story unfolds as a delicate balance of political maneuvering, personal redemption, and the shifting dynamics between Mei Wanying, Pei Yan, and the Crown Prince, with Mei Wanying determined to carve a new path independent of her past regrets.
