Synopsis

Xihua Zi: Once married, make the best of life together. Choose stability and protect what is true in your heart. That's the best thing you can do for yourself. Everyone else pitied me. They said that as a noblewoman from a prominent family, I should have been the pride of the capital, but instead I'd been ordered to marry the poorest, most useless prince, and had “fallen into the dust.” But I didn't see it that way. My father was cold, my mother distant, and my birth family no longer had a place for me. Going back would only mean being mistreated again.

I taught the Sixth Prince how to manage our daily life because I wanted us to build a good life together, not sit back and wait to be taken care of. I never wanted to “reform” him. I just thought that since we were married, we should work together. We couldn't go on complaining separately and treating each other coldly. My practicality wasn't foolishness. It was the sincerity with which I treated people, and the most basic respect I could show this marriage. Only later did I learn that the Sixth Prince had expected me either to act high and mighty or flee in the middle of the night. My “lack of disdain” had somehow touched his heart. Its
