The Scholar's Beautiful Wife

A low-ranking civil servant of the fourteenth rank, Petrov, married a beautiful wife.

With his humble background, even though he had attended university and was somewhat educated, all he could do was serve as a low-ranking civil servant, earning a meager salary and living in poverty. He even hesitated over whether to use a bar of soap when bathing at the public baths. Being able to marry a wife this beautiful was the greatest stroke of luck in his life!

Petrov loved his wife. He was willing to give up drinking for her and hand over his salary. He would even serve her on his knees if she asked...

The timid Petrov also liked to chatter in her ear about trivial things, hoping his wife would give him some attention.

“...Are you asleep, Anna?”

He asked only because his wife had not responded for a long time.

“No, of course not. I just closed my eyes because it feels comfortable...”

Anna leaned against the bed and yawned.

Then she ordered her kneeling husband to keep massaging her feet.

Perhaps a melodramatic love story
