Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou

The East is Red, the sun is rising, and the moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains onto Xu Damao's face. He squinted his eyes, enjoying this rare quiet time, shaking the small wine pot in his hand gently, humming the song "The East is Red". Life seemed to become particularly pleasant at this moment.

However, tranquility is always short-lived. A quick knock on the door broke the tranquility. Xu Damao frowned, put down the wine pot with some displeasure, and stood up to open the door. When the door opened, he was stunned. His father Xu Youde was standing outside the door, accompanied by a domineering man and a young girl with a curvy figure and a beautiful face.

"Da Mao, look who this is?" Xu Youde smiled, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Xu Damao took a closer look and found that the man was actually Lou Bancheng, a wealthy man in Beijing, and the girl was Lou Bancheng's daughter, Lou Xiao'e. He immediately had an ominous premonition.

Xu Damao was so frightened that he sobered up half way. He quickly stood up and lit a cigarette for Lou Bancheng and his father Xu Youde.

"Master Lou, what are you doing..." Xu Damao pretended to be calm, but he could not hide his inner panic.

"Haha, Damao, I'm here to propose marriage today." Lou Bancheng smiled heartily, his eyes revealing a firmness that could not be refused.

Xu Damao was stunned. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him. However, he didn't feel happy about it, but confused. He knew his situation and knew that he might have to live alone for the rest of his life. Marrying a wife and having children seemed like an unattainable dream for him.

However, under the enthusiasm of his father Xu Youde and Lou Bancheng, Xu Damao was drawn into the vortex of this marriage. They talked happily and seemed to have forgotten Xu Damao's feelings. In the end, the wedding date was set, but Xu Damao felt like a puppet being manipulated, unable to resist or escape.

After everyone left, Xu Damao found Liu Ying, the woman he had always respected the most. He cried and told Liu Ying about his helplessness and pain. Liu Ying listened to his crying, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes.

"You are suffering from a disease and are afraid that your wife will look down on you if she finds out! You come to me now because you want me to fulfill my promise and let my Xiaoyi win over Lou Xiaoe?" As soon as Liu Ying finished speaking, Xu Damao nodded awkwardly.

"Da Mao, why are you so miserable? If you really don't like Lou Xiao'e, I will definitely keep my promise. Then let Liu Yi accept her as well." Liu Ying's words stunned Xu Damao. He didn't expect Liu Ying to say this, and he was so excited that tears streamed down his face.

Liu Yi also came over from the kitchen with dinner. Seeing Xu Damao's cowardly look, he kicked him in anger. "Go get a glass from the cupboard. Let's drink."

However, at that moment, Xu Damao seemed to see the dawn of hope. He burst into laughter, tightly held Liu Yi's hand, and looked at her gratefully. He knew that this might be his only chance to get rid of the shackles of this marriage. …

In the following days, Xu Damao began to plan everything secretly. He used Liu Ying's promise to secretly communicate with Liu Yi, trying to transfer Lou Xiao'e to Liu Yi. Liu Yi, a man who was also attracted by Lou Xiao'e's beauty and family background, readily agreed to Xu Damao's request.

However, fate is always full of variables. Just when Xu Damao thought everything was arranged, Lou Xiao'e suddenly found him with a determined look in her eyes.

"Xu Damao, I know this marriage was arranged by my father, but I am willing to marry you. I believe that as long as we treat each other sincerely, we will be able to create our own happiness." Xu Damao was stunned by Lou Xiao'e's words. He did not expect that Lou Xiao'e would choose him so firmly.

At that moment, Xu Damao was moved as never before. He looked at Lou Xiao'e's determined eyes and suddenly realized that perhaps this marriage was not as bad as he had imagined. Perhaps, he could really try to make Liu Yi sincerely accept Lou Xiao'e and create a future for them.

Therefore, Xu Damao decided to give up the original plan and forced Liu Yi to get along with Lou Xiao'e sincerely. Liu Yi began to try to understand her and care about her, and gradually found that Lou Xiao'e was not a delicate woman who only relied on her family background, but a woman with her own thoughts and pursuits. They got along more and more harmoniously, and their feelings for each other also grew quietly.

Finally, on the wedding day, Xu Damao looked at the beautiful Lou Xiao'e in her wedding dress, and he felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction. He knew that he had made the right choice. This marriage may really be a turning point in Lou Xiao'e's fate, allowing her to find her own happiness and destiny.
