Feudal noble marquis x voluptuous, breathtaking beauty

Meng Zhitang, the Taifu's daughter born to a concubine, is a vision of beauty, with a graceful figure and flawless skin.

Before her grandmother died, she pitied Meng Zhitang for having no one to rely on and secured her a marriage into the marquis's household.

Who could have known that on their very first day of marriage, her husband would warn her with a dark look.

"Dress properly. Burn incense and write for an hour every day. You need to temper your disposition and stop acting spoiled."

Meng Zhitang obediently agrees to his face, but deliberately leaves scratch marks on him that night as revenge.

Fortunately, two months into their marriage, she becomes pregnant, and her husband leaves to fight a war.

She gives birth to a daughter after ten months of pregnancy, and life is fairly comfortable.

Until the night her husband returns home, when Meng Zhitang has a dream.

In the dream, her husband brings back a pregnant courtesan. Unwilling to put up with the humiliation, she insists on leaving with her daughter.

In the end, she is disgraced and dies a horrible death, while her daughter is left to wander the streets.

She wakes from the nightmare and grips the storeroom key, calculating how many years she and her daughter can live on her dowry and savings.

Meng Zhitang: My daughter is still so young. She needs to learn to read and write, wear new clothes, and eat pastries. We can't run out of money!!!

When his new wife first arrives, Lu Yuanzheng can't get enough of her for a while.

Later, when his wife becomes pregnant, he obeys an imperial decree and leaves to fight a war.

When he returns home, he sees his gentle, virtuous wife and their sweet, adorable daughter.

The man sighs: Life could not be better.

Until his wife wakes from a nightmare, clutching the storeroom key and wanting to count the money and put it in her room.

She keeps muttering, "The bed is too flimsy. We need to replace it with golden-thread nanmu. The pastries are too awful. We need to hire a dedicated chef. My gauze dress is too thin. I need a new wardrobe..."

The money dwindles day by day.

The bed is still the same old nanmu bed, and the pastries are still sickeningly sweet.

His wife clutches her bulging money pouch, her eyes like pools of water, and glares at him coyly.

"I cared for your mother at home and raised our daughter alone for three years, and now you think I spend too much?"

Lu Yuanzheng pulls open the gauzy skirt she has half gathered around herself and presses close to her.

The flower blooms through the night, and sweet birdsong fills the air.

Holding his wife's hand, he sighs. "It's not too much. You can have as much as you want."

Both leads are each other's first and only, one-on-one romance, and the male lead is pure in body and heart.
