The Delicate Bride Marries into a Powerful Family

Arranged marriage to love / Both inexperienced / A sweet two-person romance

A soft, obedient, plump beauty, the kind everyone wants to hold in their hands and spoil rotten, is paired with a possessive, unhinged minister who calmly admits he's impotent for the sake of his beloved wife.

Jiaoniang got herself into trouble.

A few days ago, the heat was unbearable. She held out until midnight, then quietly slipped into the pool to cool off.

But the man suddenly returned home and got into the pool too. In a panic, she pretended to be a dancing girl and performed to hide herself, hoping to get away with it.

She wondered... had she pulled it off?

She had been a Yangzhou "slender horse," sent to marry into the Pei family in place of her master's daughter. At first, she felt sorry for the minister, whose bride had cuckolded him, and hoped they could build a good life together.

But on their wedding night, she took one look at him and realized he was exceptionally well-endowed. She fainted on the spot. Ever since, she had pretended to be sick every night to avoid him.

Just as her mind was in turmoil, a tall, cool figure stepped inside. Pei Xun had not entered the inner courtyard since she fainted on their wedding night, but today he had come.

Jiaoniang nervously curtsied, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

His stern voice came from above her:

"Since you've recovered, wife, we shall share a bed tonight."

Her premonition... had come true.

Pei Xun, Vice Minister of Justice, was the very picture of refined nobility.

That night, the dancing girl claimed she was performing for him, but in truth she teased him with the sweet scent of her sweat. Pei Xun sneered inwardly, only to accidentally taste a warm drop of it.

His virility was far beyond that of an ordinary man, yet he loathed desire and kept his distance from women. That night, alone in the cold pool, he endured a torment unlike anything he had ever known.

Only later did he learn that the dancing girl was his new wife, the one said to be "frail and sickly." He had approached her to investigate the strange, sweet scent about her.

He never expected to fall so deeply.

At first, Pei Xun regarded her with a cold gaze:

"This woman is cunning and crafty. She cannot be trusted."

Later, learning how softhearted she was, he lowered his eyes and softened his expression. In a quiet voice, he confessed, all so he could get close to her:

"Your husband suffers from a hidden ailment and is unable to perform... Will you despise me, my lady?"
