Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 374: Love Tribulation for Several Lifetimes (1)

Second world.

Ning Hua is the daughter of an ordinary official, and Zi Jiang is the son of a marquis of the current dynasty. When Zi Jiang was sixteen years old, she fell in love with Ning Hua at first sight at the Shangsi Festival, and she fell in love with her for the rest of her life when they met again.

However, Ning Hua was already engaged to her childhood sweetheart, her cousin. The two had been inseparable and naturally had a deep bond. Zi Jiang returned home, stricken with lovesickness, and after much deliberation, she decided to break up Ning Hua's marriage.

Zi Jiang used some trickery to have her cousin's family convicted and exiled, and the two's engagement ended in vain.

Zi Jiang went to ask for Ning Hua's hand in marriage again. The Ning Hua family, who were the son of a noble family and the wife of the mistress of the royal family, were delighted to see that Ning Hua had married into a royal family, regardless of her wishes. After she reached the age of 15, she was married off to a marquis.

As the saying goes, once you enter a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea. From then on, Xiao Lang is just a passerby.

When "Xiao Lang" was cleared of his grievances and returned to find Ning Hua, he was told that the beauty was already married. In grief, he got drunk by the moat. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he stumbled and fell into the river and died.

As the saying goes, "dead lovers live forever", Zi Jiang will never be able to defeat this cousin rival in love throughout her life.

Looking at his wife's silent face every day, a lover who was indifferent even to his own son, his heart gradually grew cold, and he finally understood what it meant to want something but not get it.

From then on, the second life ended.

In the third life, Ning Hua was the princess of the Northern Kingdom, and Zi Jiang was the prince of the Lin Kingdom.

The two kingdoms, hoping to forge a friendly alliance, sent Zi Jiang to the Northern Kingdom to seek the hand of their legitimate princess. After the state banquet, Zi Jiang asked to meet the Northern Kingdom's legitimate princess, and the two fell in love at first sight.

The customs in the north were open, and there were not too many restrictions on women. Ning Hua stayed with the prince all day long. The two of them recited poems, wrote couplets, sailed on a boat, and painted. They were in love and very happy.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Ning Hua and Princess Xiangyang were old enemies and had been at odds since childhood. Princess Xiangyang also developed a crush on the prince, but only regretted that she was not a legitimate princess.

So, in the name of Ning Hua, she invited the prince out for a boat trip on the lake and drugged his wine.

After the prince boarded the boat, he saw the beauty hiding behind the curtain and thought it was Ning Hua, so he sat down against the side of the boat. Before he could say anything, a maid brought him wine. The prince didn't know he had been fooled, and when he woke up, he found the princess sleeping beside him in dishevel.

The prince was shocked, but saw that the boat had already docked. Just as he was about to get off the boat, he saw a group of people coming towards him, led by Ning Hua's brother, the second prince.

When the princess saw someone coming to "catch the adulterer", she walked out in disheveled clothes, confirming the prince's guilt.

The princess originally wanted to go to the marriage alliance on behalf of Ning Hua, but the emperor was furious when he heard about it. He believed that the prince had humiliated the entire royal family, so he drove the prince out of the Northern Kingdom. The relationship between the two countries instantly became tense, and soon the Northern Kingdom launched a war first.

Ning Hua and Zi Jiang went from being an engaged couple to being star-crossed lovers living in enemy countries. Although they loved each other, they would never be able to see each other again in their entire lives.

From then on, the third life of seeking but failing to obtain came to an end.

In the fourth life, the two performed the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun.

Zi Jiang played music to Ning Hua in the highest attic of the capital to woo her, and also wrote poems to praise Ning Hua's beauty. For a time, the people competed to spread the praises, and the two of them competed in playing the piano and painting, and their performances were on the headlines of the capital's gossip list every day.

Ning Hua was finally impressed by Zi Jiang's amazing talent and they became lovers.

But within three or four years, another talented woman who could rival Ning Hua appeared in the capital. She was both talented and beautiful. Zi Jiang did not believe it and felt that Ning Hua was the most talented and beautiful woman in the world.
