[Beautiful, unhinged villainous rogue vs. straightforward, honest woman] [The irresistible-when-you-finally-get-it trope] [A groveling pursuit] [Taking by force]
A Jiao was an orphan from the frontier. One day, she found a man as beautiful as an immortal.
Taken by his looks, she rescued him and brought him home.
He had lost his memory, but was courteous and well-mannered. Though they slept side by side, he never overstepped. Seeing how hard her life was, he even dragged his lame leg around to help with the chores.
A Jiao liked him and wanted to be his wife.
By some miracle, she truly did marry him, going from a butcher's daughter on the frontier to the heir's wife of Prince Ning. In a single day, she had risen from the dirt to become a phoenix.
Everyone said Yu Jiao was unbelievably lucky to have married into such a family.
Though many noblewomen mocked her for being uncouth, Yu Jiao did not care. She and Zhongli Heng were in love, so what did other people's gossip matter? That is, until she discovered his arrogant, cold-hearted true nature.
"A crude country woman like you could never compare to Yu Wan."
No wonder she could never get pregnant. He hated her so much that he did not want to have a child with her, and had been drinking a contraceptive decoction before every time they slept together.
Then she would leave and let him be with the woman he loved.
But after writing a letter of separation, she was imprisoned instead.
The refined gentleman she had once known shed his false mask and locked her up with arrogant force.
Only then did Yu Jiao understand that she had provoked a madman.
After being caught trying to escape, she watched in terror as the approaching figure drew nearer. She shrank back, only for him to seize her ankle.
A cold shackle snapped into place. His eyes were wild and sinister as he bent down, gripped her chin, and kissed her. His burning kiss fell on her neck, his voice cold but barely concealing his madness.
"A Jiao, where are you going?"
"Didn't you want a child? Then I'll give you one."
Note: Both leads are sexually inexperienced and devoted only to each other. The male lead has never loved anyone else. Happy ending.

[Upcoming: My Husbands Who Faked Their Deaths Have All Returned. Please add it to your library!]
[Blurb]
Sang Wu's husband went missing. He had gone into the mountains to hunt and had not returned in over a month. The neighbors all thought he was probably dead.
After all, he was already Sang Wu's third husband, and her first two had also died young.
As a result, her reputation as a husband-killer had spread far and wide through town.
Though she was beautiful and graceful, no one dared ask for her hand anymore.
Her first husband was a hunter, tall and handsome, with great martial skills. He could lift her with one arm and loved her dearly. The only flaw was that he was insatiable in bed. Otherwise, he never let her suffer in the slightest.
Unfortunately, they lived through a time of war. He was conscripted and sent to the battlefield, never to return alive.
Her second husband was a schoolteacher, handsome as a jade tree and gentle and considerate toward her. Every morning, he would personally do her hair and makeup. The only trouble was that he had too many tricks at night, often soothing her with a gentle voice while refusing to stop.
He died of an illness, taken by a common cold.
Her third husband... was actually an accident.
Sang Wu had rescued him, and he was staying with her while he recovered. On the anniversary of her late husband's death, she drank too much and mistook him for her husband, then did all sorts of outrageous things with him.
When Sang Wu woke with a hangover and saw the scratch marks she had left across his lean back, she could only take responsibility under his accusing gaze.
This husband was neither gentle nor considerate, and his cooking was awful. He was cold as ice, said little when they were in bed, was rough and never comforted her, and often complained that she was too spoiled.
But Sang Wu was in the wrong. She had taken his innocence first, so she could only endure it in silence. Even when he bullied her too much, all she dared do was hug her late husband's memorial tablet and cry in secret.
Still, he was a strong worker. With those powerful arms, he could plow a field as well as her first husband. After he met with an accident, Sang Wu found it hard to survive alone in this world, so she began thinking about finding another husband.
Just as she was getting married to her new fourth husband, the courtyard gate swung open. Her first husband had returned.
Later, she discovered that all her late husbands were actually alive, and had all returned to find her.
[Honest, devoted wife vs. self-made great general * scheming powerful official * cold, sharp-tongued young heir]
Content warning: The female lead is not sexually inexperienced, while the male leads are.
Theme: Survive tenaciously, even in adversity
Could it be that we, Jiao Jiao, are just good at learning martial arts? It feels like two more years of training will knock the male protagonist to the ground ()
Seeing that now, I can't bear the two of them making such a fuss. The male protagonist is really loving, but also really extreme. The heroine's baby is also pitiful. We won't be separated for several years, not that long. It is very hard to raise a child alone. Let the dog hero reflect on it and torture it for a year and a half. Otherwise, in four or five years, he will become a father easily. The baby will walk and talk when he meets it. Wouldn't it be an advantage for him?
I actually have a feeling that I can understand both of them, and they both have difficulties.
Ah Jiao: We meet old friends again, and the years are peaceful. Male Protagonist: Broken. Yaomei is trying hard to turn over the book [picking her head]
This is the fastest way to catch a heroine I have ever seen. This is too smart
She can't escape his pursuit, but it's hard for her to fly 🍉 [dog's head holding rose]
Aren't you going to update the extras?
Is this the author's first novel? The writing is quite fluent and more mature and natural than many other novels written by veteran writers that I have read. However, I still feel very uncomfortable. Although everything the male protagonist does in the whole story has its own reasons and makes up for it, the most alienating thing is that the male protagonist's attitude of disrespecting the female protagonist is lifted up and put down gently. The most typical example is when the male protagonist takes a concubine, obviously he himself It could easily be solved without taking a concubine, but he still chose to take a concubine and say deliberately humiliating words to the heroine in front of the female supporting character. Since he could easily solve the problem, why would he be forced to say slanderous words to his sweetheart to a minor female supporting character? Since he cares about why the heroine thinks that taking a concubine is fake, it doesn't matter. Isn't that a sign of not putting the heroine at ease? He actually fell in love with her deeply, and the heroine didn't care about it later on. She was even told to feel guilty by the hero in a few words. The whole story never asked the hero to apologize for his attitude of not taking the heroine seriously at that time, but he still claimed to be affectionate and atone for his sins (the hero later only made atonement for forcing the heroine on him). Maybe it's because the author's first book was a bit rough on the details. After following the outline, I forgot about the male protagonist's attitude. I just thought that if the male protagonist didn't take a concubine, then the male protagonist here wouldn't take the blame.
Is this ancient dance? Hahahaha
The second male lead is well portrayed, the male lead is very good in the front, and he is very perverted when he wakes up.
