Marriage Before Love / A Slow-Burning Romance / Healing and Redemption / She Flirts Without Realizing It / Soft-Hearted Wife vs. Tough, Scheming Husband
Liu Xi's new husband, Meng Zhuo, was supposedly an idiot. His family had agreed to the marriage for the dowry they promised.
Her father was gravely ill, and her family couldn't afford the expensive medical bills.
People privately mocked her, saying that if he weren't an idiot, she wouldn't have had a chance. After all, the Meng family was one of Su City's most prominent families.
In Liu Xi's eyes, Meng Zhuo was simply another poor soul like herself.
The Meng family had gone to great lengths to find him a wife, hoping only to have a normal heir. Neither of them could escape the shackles of family.
Liu Xi didn't dislike him. She was gentle and patient with him.
Meng Zhuo was handsome, usually quiet and well-behaved, and would smile as he called her "big sister."
But at night, he always went to great lengths to make her call him "husband."
Around other people, Meng Zhuo's moods were far less stable. The first time he met her parents, he viciously called them man-eating monsters and insulted her younger brother as a useless little bloodsucker who was like a mosquito.
Later, Liu Xi learned that her father's illness had been nothing but an excuse. Her family had simply wanted to use their daughter's dowry to buy their son a home for his marriage.
Liu Xi didn't want to continue a marriage full of schemes, but she gradually realized that when she thought she had no one by her side, the seemingly foolish Meng Zhuo had always been there, warming her heart.
He taught her how to smash a cup when she was angry, and how to point at someone and yell at them when she was upset...
Tips: The male lead is pretending to be foolish, the female lead will grow, and their life together will get better and better.
