The Two-Faced Marchioness's Everyday Spoiling of Her Husband

[The main story is complete. If there are any side stories you'd like to read, leave a comment~] Also, check out my upcoming novel, The Hated Beta After Divorce, featuring a charming husband who draws everyone’s attention. After seven years of marriage, Lin Jian sacrificed the career he had once been proud of for his family and child. He honored his in-laws and catered to his husband, while taking care of their child. Seven years wore the once-bright little moon down into a dull fish-eye pearl, but no one understood his bitterness. His in-laws criticized him for being an inadequate, unrefined beta. His husband had grown tired of his thin, withered figure and unchanging docility. Even the son he had raised with such care despised him as crude and ignorant, wantonly trampling on his sincere affection. Then his husband’s white moonlight returned from abroad, and the whole family switched sides, urging his husband to win his old flame back. Lin Jian finally came to his senses. He didn’t cry or make a scene. He put down the divorce papers and the feelings he’d wasted over seven years, picked up the career he had set aside, and waved goodbye to the villa he had called home for seven years. After the divorce, his cold, sharp-tongued childhood friend came to pick him up in a sports car. His longtime rival, who had never liked him, heard the news and rushed back from abroad. Even the gloomy younger man he had once accidentally gotten involved with seemed to have… latched onto him? … The domineering, controlling Alpha assumed Lin Jian was a useless little canary who wouldn’t be able to get by without him. He hadn’t taken the divorce papers seriously at all; he was waiting for Lin Jian to come crawling back and apologize. Then, at a banquet, he saw his ordinary, unremarkable wife holding a champagne glass, his flawless, refined face wearing a gentle, appropriate smile as he chatted animatedly with the man beside him. He was like a flower too difficult to pluck, radiating bewitching elegance and nobility from within. Every man there cast covetous glances at his dazzling wife. He regretted it!!! Lin Jian is the gong. The gong gives birth. A resilient little village girl gong, brimming with vitality × a scheming, overbearing daddy seme with off-the-charts possessiveness Yu Yuan × Wei Chijun (Wei Ziqing) The Substitute Bride Marquis’s Wife Has Two Faces: The Daily Life of a Village Girl, Skilled in Both Cooking and Beauty, Spoiling Her Husband In the twenty-seventh year of Jing’an, turmoil shook the borderlands. Wei Chijun, the Great Qi general who guarded the nation, led the army to war, inflicting a crushing defeat on the Xiongnu and earning unmatched military glory. Emperor Cheng issued an edict arranging his marriage, ordering him to marry the daughter of Cabinet Minister Yu Daxin before long. Yu Yuan was abandoned in the mountains by his biological father, Yu Daxin, when he was very young. By chance, he met a former imperial chef and became his apprentice, learning excellent cooking skills. He was not brought back to the Yu household until he was eighteen. Since Yu Daxin and Wei Chijun were political enemies who couldn’t stand each other, and Wei Chijun was notorious for his ferocity, none of the Yu daughters dared marry him with the wedding date fast approaching. So Yu Yuan disguised himself as a woman, took his sister’s place, and married into the Marquis’s perilous household. But Yu Yuan was a man. How could he consummate the marriage with Marquis Wei? He gritted his teeth and deliberately made himself look ugly, hoping to make Wei Chijun recoil from him. On their wedding night, Yu Yuan recited the excuse he had prepared in advance. “This concubine is as ugly as can be… I fear I’ll offend the Marquis’s eyes, so… so I humbly request permission to live in the side courtyard.” “It’s fine.” “I think you’re quite acceptable,” Wei Chijun said coolly. Yu Yuan: ? Why had no one told him before he got married that the Marquis had a thing for ugly people? After the wedding, Yu Yuan nervously tried to please Wei Chijun, afraid that this mercurial living king of hell would take his life if he ever learned the truth. Every day, without fail, he got up before dawn to make breakfast. His culinary skills were superb, and he nearly won over the whole household. He thought he could keep his head down until he died of old age, but someone had to make trouble for him. He couldn’t even cook a dish without getting dragged into domestic intrigue. At a flower-viewing banquet, someone used a few words to shove Yu Yuan into the eye of the storm, waiting for the country bumpkin to make a fool of himself. Yu Yuan remained composed and unbowed, then gently removed his veil… After that day, the capital was abuzz with the tale that Marquis Wei Chijun had married the most beautiful person in all of Great Qi. His virtuous, gentle young wife was not only peerlessly beautiful, but a wonderful cook, too. With a wife like that, what more could a man ask for? After the wedding, Wei Chijun deliberately kept his distance from his wife. It was just that the food this seemingly ordinary little village girl made smelled too good. Gradually, Wei Chijun discovered that the village girl herself smelled wonderful, too… Reader’s guide: 1. The gong wears women’s clothes for almost the entire novel. The gong is weaker and the shou is stronger. The gong is weak in bed. Yu Yuan is the gong, so don’t mix them up. 2. Marriage first, love later; a sweet story about mutual pampering. Both are sexually inexperienced. 3. This isn’t exactly a proper food novel. Most of the dish names and recipes are made up, and the domestic scheming is at an elementary-school level. Don’t overanalyze it; the focus is on married life. 4. The dynasty and everything else are fictional. This isn’t a serious historical drama; it’s a sweet story with no logic. Every plot point exists to bring the leads together. I’m not looking for writing advice. Theme: Keep striving every day.
