My Husband Is from the Hehuan Sect

Jiang Lingxi has been feeling a little worn out lately.

She tosses and turns on the bed, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Could we..."

The old wooden boards creak softly, and her husband immediately looks over.

His high ponytail sways as he turns. Tall and straight-backed, full of youthful confidence, he seems out of place here. This remote backwater could hardly suit him less.

Lin Yunhe doesn't pick up where she left off. He stares straight at her.

A mesmerizing fire burns in his eyes.

Jiang Lingxi doesn't dare look at him again, swallowing the words about taking it easy.

They're only ordinary married people, after all. They should get used to each other in a week or two, and it shouldn't really harm her health... right?

Lin Yunhe doesn't want to stay.

The cultivation path of a heaven-favored prodigy should have been smooth sailing. This mission for the Hehuan Sect was an unexpected disaster, and there are plenty of other things he finds unsatisfactory.

His wife is too shy. Every time, she can't even finish what she's saying.

So Lin Yunhe helps her finish, until she has to cover his mouth.

His wife is too frail. There's not an ounce of flesh on her that he can pinch.

So he takes good care of her, until she's soft to the touch.

From the first day they met, Lin Yunhe knew his mission target was no fun at all. Timid and mild-mannered, she didn't have a shred of passion.

The sword path was much more interesting!

So once this farce was over, they could go their separate ways.

He must have insisted on bringing her back only because Jiang Lingxi's terror, as if she'd seen a ghost, had infuriated him. He searched the entire Huanque Realm just to find her again.

"Does Lingxi find me unpleasant?" Lin Yunhe lowers his eyes and strokes down her trembling shoulder. "Hehuan Sect disciples have their dignity too, you know."

[Content Notes]

* One-on-one romance, both leads are inexperienced, happy ending.

* A fragile and reserved heroine x a clueless hero. The entire story has this flavor: a short, romance-focused tale.

* The heroine is mortal. The hero is a classic high-ponytailed sword cultivator, temporarily staying with the Hehuan Sect for certain reasons. This means the pairing is a strong man and weak woman. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

* Everyone is a native of this world. No transmigration.
