Introduction to the work
On the day I dressed as a concubine, my aunt asked me to marry for my sister.
The one she married was Huo Hanting. It is said that he killed three wives and was so violent and bloodthirsty that no one could survive more than three months.
On our wedding night, he threw me into the woodshed to die.
Good. In my previous life, I was an animal trainer, specializing in treating aggressive dogs.
The first step is to establish a safe distance. He roared and I handed him the tea. He throws things, and I keep track of them. He is cold and violent, and I eat hot pot.
The second step is to identify emotional triggers. On a rainy day, he was irritable, and I went to his study to study. He went from smashing things to quietly listening to a travelogue.
The third step is positive reinforcement training. If he talks well, I will reward him with sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He stood up for me, and I admired him starry-eyed. He comes to the yard every day and stands at the door, like a large dog waiting for someone to pat its head.
Later he learned to laugh. Learn to protect your shortcomings. Learn to hold my hand while sleeping when it rains.
The day I thought my mission was accomplished and I retired, he took a peek at my domestication diary.
"Initial behavior modification - expected to be completed in half a year."
His eyes were red and his voice was trembling: "Lin Wantang, will you tame me?"
"Taming finished."
"Then what am I in your eyes?"
I opened my mouth.
He turned and left.
Three months later, I opened a shop to help people mediate conflicts.
He was kneeling in the doorway, looking so thin that he looked disfigured.
Pulling on the hem of my skirt, my voice was so hoarse that I couldn't hear clearly:
"You're going to run away after training?"
"Mission accomplished."
He thrust the knife into my hand.
"Then you stab me. Can you stay after you stab me?"
"Or hire me."
"Hire me for life."
"Okay?
