[Content warning: This is not a conventional wish-fulfillment novel. The heroine is patient and restrained early on, while the hero acts like a jerk. There is plenty of romantic tension, and both leads are sexually and emotionally faithful. Readers who strongly prefer fast-paced wish fulfillment should proceed with caution.]
Su Yu had been married into the Marquis's household for a year. She honored her mother-in-law and managed the household affairs with grace and poise, the very model of a noblewoman.
For half her life, all she had cultivated was her "good reputation." Her husband was a military man, rough and careless with the rules. She put up with it. He was uneducated and knew nothing of refinement. She put up with that, too. After all, when it came to married life, who didn't turn a blind eye now and then?
Until her husband kept a mistress in secret, causing a scandal throughout the city and making her the laughingstock of the entire capital. At last, she could take no more. She flung a divorce agreement right in the face of her faithless husband.
But before he could sign it, her husband was ambushed and fell off a cliff, leaving no body behind.
Everyone said the Marquis's wife was gentle and virtuous. Only Helian Ye knew how particular and difficult his wife could be.
If the tea had steeped too long, she wouldn't drink it. If the handwriting was ugly, she wouldn't read it. When she casually recited a poem, he failed to grasp its deeper meaning. She wouldn't explain, only shooting him a sideways look.
She was so particular without ever making a fuss that every time, he ended up feeling he deserved it.
And yet she was also the one who quietly took care of everything for him.
Helian Ye once thought he had married an ancestor he had to worship. Only later did he realize that if she truly left him, he wouldn't be able to go on living.

It is not a routine story like the previous one. The heroine is thoughtful and does things that are in line with the ancient background and characters. If you like to read ancient Chinese novels with online logic and a sense of tension, you can check it out. The plot is very interesting and quite good.
It's very beautiful, and it's not cliché, and it's not forced to sell you anything.
It's quite good-looking, the logic is clear, and the characters are consistent. The heroine and the hero actually have each other in their hearts, but there are misunderstandings. Looking forward to future developments...
It's beautiful, the heroine is soft on the outside but strong on the inside 😘[Flow a kiss][Flow a kiss]
The author's writing is as good as ever. The male protagonists are all dedicated and affectionate. There are no messy things. It's good to read! She is still as beautiful as ever, but it's a pity that we have grown up. A good girl met such a heartless person🥺🥺I was so sad, why did it end so suddenly? A bit too short...
The writing is very solid, the logic and plot are all online, the heroine is a gentle knife type, the hero is not a scumbag, and the emotional line is still very dedicated, there will be a bit of tension between the two parties, but I love watching it hahahaha
