[An obsessive hostage plays the virtuous husband, while the female general is seduced until her knees go weak!]
(A matriarchal world + mutual taming, one-on-one romance, both leads devoted only to each other)
·
Xie Yunshu, a hostage from an enemy kingdom, is forced to marry the female general Xiao Zhuo.
On their wedding night, a dagger presses against his throat. "Behave and be a pretty ornament. If you dare to entertain any improper thoughts, I'll chop off your hands."
He lowers his eyes and meekly agrees. Candlelight casts a gentle, obedient shadow in his eyes.
·
From then on, the ruthless prince of the enemy kingdom willingly dons the guise of a virtuous husband
When Xiao Zhuo is saddled with a second husband, he investigates the man's background and exposes his identity, then turns back with reddened eyes, clutching her sleeve and whispering, "Wife, I... I'm just... jealous."
When Xiao Zhuo is ambushed outside the city, he gallops to her rescue. The hidden blade in his sleeve slices through the assassin's throat first. Then he stumbles into her arms, his breath faint. "Don't let them... lay a finger on you, Wife."
He seems like the softest water, yet he is also the most subtle of blades. He tests her step by step, drawing closer inch by inch.
·
Until one night, he suddenly tears away that veneer of obedience. He forcefully pins Xiao Zhuo down on the bed, then leans over her with a low voice and a hint of laughter at the end. "Wife, on our wedding night, I actually... wasn't satisfied."
Xiao Zhuo narrows her eyes. "Xie Yunshu, what do you really want?"
He leans close, his breath brushing her ear, and says each word distinctly:
"I want your heart, Wife."
·
One day, Xiao Zhuo gives her "delicate" and virtuous husband a knowing look. "A hostage? Then who is the master of Lingxiao Pavilion?"
Xie Yunshu: "..."
Wife, let me explain!
