   (Completed!) (Female-dominated society, past and present lives, strong leads, pure love, loyal lover, pursuing the husband, 1V1) A mute hunter, past his thirties and mentally challenged, finally gets married, and to his wife no less. In this matriarchal society, he's incredibly powerful. But after their wedding night, he discovers his wife doesn't seem to like the marriage. She always looks at him coldly, is indifferent to him, and sometimes even scolds and hits him. He thinks it's normal for his wife to dislike him; after all, he's stupid and mute! So he vows to treat his wife well and listen to her. If she says east, he dares not go west; he carries her wherever she wants to go; he gives her whatever she wants, until it costs him his life… She is the current Crown Princess of Ningyuan Kingdom. Framed by her sisters, she endured hardship and displacement, losing her leg and suffering greatly, finally marrying a mentally challenged mute hunter. Although the hunter was fairly handsome, the saying goes, "bad people come from bad places," and she instructed herself to be cautious and careful, to make him work for her. Then… she harbored great ambitions, climbing step by step to the top, but due to suspicion and misunderstanding, she personally pushed him, who loved her dearly, to his doom, ending in a tragic fate. On the day of her triumph, only endless regret and heartbreak remained. Reborn, she let go of her obsession and devoted the rest of her life to making amends, only hoping for his lifelong peace. But could it truly be as she wished? "My lady, the wisteria in the mountain courtyard is blooming again…"
