[She pursues her ex, but there's no groveling arc + Forced matchmaking + Hero has a secret crush + Unchaste heroine, chaste hero; he's a servant to her former husband]
One person's love-and-hate drama, while the person on the other side is just a little puppy wife who only knows how to wag her tail.
Canary × watchdog
A suspicious dog who wonders ten thousand times a day if his wife loves him × a sweet, silly wife who just coasts through life
Ying Que is a servant in the Duke of Luo's mansion, tasked with looking after the duke's canary wife.
Whenever her husband gives her the cold shoulder, the airheaded canary throws herself into Ying Que's arms, crying and pouting. When she gets angry, she picks up a whip and takes out her frustration on him.
Ying Que hates her to the bone, yet on countless sleepless nights he remembers the soft, trembling warmth of the young woman crying in his arms.
Later, war breaks out. Ying Que leaves the duke's mansion to join the army and distinguish himself in battle.
His former master dies on the front lines, and the canary is sent to a shelter.
When the war ends, the marshal assigns Ying Que a partner: none other than the former duchess he hates to the bone, and loves so much he can't sleep.
