Reborn, I Flirted with the Ascetic Little Monk

[Reborn + palace and household intrigue + marriage before love + face-slapping the scum + devoted to each other]

After being reborn, Shi Sangruo marries a good-for-nothing prince to stay away from a scumbag.

After the wedding, everyone laughs at them.

They laugh at her for throwing herself at him, even though he looks down on her.

They laugh at him for being useless in bed.

But once they fall in love, he dotes on her fiercely and proves quite “capable.”

Once Shi Sangruo has secured her place, she protects those she cares about, makes the scumbag fall for her, and leaves the villainess full of regret.

Little does she know that her good-for-nothing husband is actually the mysterious figure from the rumors. He manipulates the imperial court, punishes corrupt officials, and eliminates schemers, all while secretly protecting her.

Until one day, she stumbles upon a letter and learns his secret...

Beneath a pear tree, a gentle breeze brushes through Shi Sangruo's hair.

The delicate scent of flowers fills the air as the two of them lean against each other beneath the tree.

“Lin Xiuyan, promise you'll grow old with me.”

Lin Xiuyan's gaze turns suggestive. “Of course. I want to rub my beloved's shoulders and back every day.”

“You said it, so don't you dare go back on your word.”

Remembering that day, Lin Xiuyan's eyes flicker. In a low voice, he says, “In the end, you were the one who broke your promise first.” He clenches his fist and slams it down on the table.

And so, his path of revenge begins...

Happy ending, so enjoy without worry.
