His Tough-as-Nails Wife Pretends to Be Sweet and Innocent Every Day

As the Empire's most desirable and formidable Alpha, Huo Zhi always knew exactly what he wanted in a wife: a fair-skinned, beautiful, delicate Omega who would blush and cry at the slightest teasing. And so Yu Ruan became the canary in his cage.

But one day, Huo Zhi realized that something was off about the canary he kept at home.

Who was that, fighting a group of Alphas with a stick?

Who was that, smoking with one foot planted on a delinquent's head?

Who was that, dancing at a bar in revealing clothes and swearing up a storm?

His sweet, soft little wife had suddenly turned into a thorny tigress.

Huo Zhi realized he might not know the little thing at home as well as he thought.

Playing the sweet, innocent type is an art, and Yu Ruan had always been good at it. But every cloud has a silver lining. One day, while fighting thugs by the roadside with a wooden stick, Yu Ruan was caught red-handed by her husband and cornered in an alley.

Yu Ruan dropped the stick and gave him a sheepish grin. “Mr. Huo, just hear me out... I mean, let me explain...”

At last, he'd caught the little rabbit slipping up. Huo Zhi bent down with a wicked smile and hoisted her over his shoulder. “Sure. I'll listen to your excuses when we get home. Mm... your ex-cus-es.”

Yu Ruan: ...

Her secret was out before she knew it.
