[Mutually inexperienced, cutesy sweetheart, sweet romance, daily life, size difference, 1v1 happy ending]
When Xiao Ju was a young beggar, he once met a noble young lady.
Even after he had gained power and won the allegiance of thousands, he could never forget how that young lady had taken his filthy hand and, eyes brimming with tears, asked whether the cracks in his skin hurt.
If he couldn't forget her, why force himself to?
When the new emperor came to the capital to purge the old officials, Xiao Ju became a powerful attack dog in his service. After several fierce contests, he finally claimed that exceptionally delicate and radiant flower.

With the new dynasty newly established, the court was rebuilding its order.
Song Lingxian's fiance's family was sentenced to exile. To avoid suspicion, the Song family betrothed her to Xiao Ju, the new powerbroker who held the court in his grasp.
Everyone said her husband was rotten to the core. Even her parents looked at her apologetically.
She promised her parents she would be cautious and keep her head down around Xiao Ju. When she twisted her ankle, she didn't dare tell him.
She had kept it hidden for a day and thought she had gotten away with it. But that night, half-awake, she saw her newlywed husband, whom everyone called a vile villain, kneeling by the footstool and cradling her swollen foot, carefully licking the bruise on her leg.
In the dim candlelight, Xiao Ju's handsome features were veiled in shadow, his expression devout and focused.
Song Lingxian's heart trembled. How could such a wonderful husband be a bad person?
Surely he was simply too stern, and that had led others to misunderstand him.
*You're all talking nonsense. My husband is obviously wonderful.
