Shen You Ting, the legitimate son of the Shen family, lost his mother when he was young and was never favored by his father. His new stepmother brought her own children and constantly bullied him. If not for his uncle, the emperor, protecting him, he would probably have died long ago.
He thought his life would always be this way, but after someone left him for dead, he somehow survived. It seems he angered some dangerous person in some dangerous place, but... why has his life turned around ever since? And this dangerous woman... I feel like there's something not quite right about our relationship...
Qing Tan is proud and laid-back, with a mischievous streak. Then she made a mistake, and her own father locked her away. A hundred thousand years passed in a flash. She thought she'd have to wait until her father remembered he had a daughter before she could get out, but then... she came across a pitiful little guy. Look at how badly he's being bullied. I'll take him in.
At first, she thought he had pretty good potential... and a nice face too. Then she realized, tsk, he has a lovely voice too. And that figure... quite a rare find as well...
Note: No System, and this is not a pampered-husband story!!! Let me say it again: this is not a pampered-husband story!!! The male lead's story is about turning his life around, but even at his peak, he won't be stronger than the female lead. She's strong from beginning to end, and she won't ever have to bow to anyone, not even her father!!!
The romance isn't a slow burn. They're both looks-oriented, especially the heroine. Her attitude toward certain characters in the book depends to a large extent on their looks.
This is my first time writing this kind of story, so please forgive me if some scenes aren't written well. Also, don't let the chapters pile up!!! You'll never catch up! The author will probably post two or three chapters a day, so keep reading as they come!!!
