On their wedding night, Li Yun sat alone in the bridal chamber, waiting for her husband to lift her veil. Shen Qingchuan simply tossed it aside, ignoring her shy anticipation.
Faced with Li Yun’s insistence, he offered only a few cool words: “Get some sleep.”
Li Yun stayed awake all night.
With his strange temper and icy looks, she spent the night figuring out how to win Shen Qingchuan over and how to escape the capital and return to Jiangnan.
The last thing she expected was that a few months later, Shen Qingchuan would be crying and begging her not to leave him.
How could he possibly think that?
Li Yun weighed up Shen Qingchuan’s assets and decided it would be more worthwhile to take him along when she ran away.

Shen Qingchuan had known since childhood that his mother didn’t like him. After a serious illness left him an invalid, even his father gave up on him.
He lived alone in the most remote corner of the prime minister’s residence, wishing he were dead but unable to die.
The Marquis’s chosen son-in-law was not him, but his second younger brother, who was young, ambitious, and riding high.
His mother didn’t want her second son to marry a concubine’s daughter, so Shen Qingchuan was forced into wedding clothes and made to stand in as the groom.
Shen Qingchuan hated everyone, and he hated his timid, useless wife just as much.
Until Li Yun leaned over him, trembling and weeping because she was afraid he would die.
Even knowing it was all an act, Shen Qingchuan gently wiped away her tears and softly comforted her. “Don’t cry. I’m not dead.”

Please note:
1. One-on-one, devoted couple, marriage before love, sweet romance.
2. The heroine relies on herself. The hero is a laid-back, devoted househusband who loves her wholeheartedly.
3. The revenge plot isn’t mindless wish fulfillment. There’s angst and triumph, told from the heroine’s perspective.
4. The romance isn’t mindlessly sweet, but it’s absolutely an angst-free, devoted love story.
5. They speak their minds. The heroine is direct, while the hero is gentle and calculating.

[Orange Candy] Got it. I remember where it came from earlier. Did Shen Qingchuan promise to give Yun'er a sword dance in a month or something? I like some callbacks, but it's a pity that they didn't come true.
The heroine is really miserable. . .
Both homes are like dens of thieves
This Prime Minister's Office is really looking down on human life.
The writing is quite good, and it progresses slowly
"However, Shen Qingchuan only raised his hand to..." This is a big bug for the author~
