[Love after marriage + love at first sight + everyday life + personal growth + court intrigue + household power struggles + evil stepmother + evil mother-in-law]
Cui Lining, a noble family’s legitimate daughter, is married off to He Lan Jingting, a minister in the current dynasty, as part of a political bargain. Only after marrying him does she discover that her husband is all bark and no bite.
“Didn’t you say I was just part of a bargain? Why are you kissing me?”
“Don’t ask whether I love you. If I don’t, I’ll let you know in advance!”
“Wait... Husband, you sound so sure of yourself. I suppose you don’t need to share a bed with me, then. Wait... where are you putting your hand?”
