A Noble Wife Brings Her Husband Glory

A clear-headed, wealthy heroine X a romantic, growing male lead Marriage first, love later. A wayward man reforms. He pursues her. Gu Mingyue was born into an aristocratic family of great wealth and status. Doted on since childhood, she blossomed into a radiant beauty like a peony in full bloom, with suitors galore. But her standards for a husband were unlike everyone else's. Other women wanted a husband who was ambitious, handsome as Pan An, gentle, considerate, and faithful, from a small family, and they didn't mind marrying down. Gu Mingyue was exactly the opposite. Her husband had to come from a prestigious family with an illustrious name, a flourishing clan, and a reasonable, easygoing mother-in-law. Ideally, she could take charge of the household as soon as she married in. She loved a lively household. As for her husband's temperament, whether he had a female confidante, or whether he was considerate, none of that mattered. It would be even better if he took a whole retinue of concubines with him when he went away to take up a post, so long as they didn't bother her. After considering one candidate after another, Gu Mingyue finally chose Xie Yang, the notorious playboy of Bianjing. Xie Yang spent his days chasing cats and dogs, eating, drinking, and having fun. He was a good-for-nothing and a notorious wastrel. No one in all of Bianjing would have given him a second glance if he weren't the only son of the Grand Marshal and the princess. Gu Mingyue, meanwhile, was renowned for her talent and so beautiful that she captivated the entire capital. She was a goddess everyone longed for but could never have. When the goddess began choosing a husband, all the eligible young men in Bianjing waited anxiously, full of anticipation. Who could have guessed that with one graceful point of her finger, the goddess would choose Xie Yang, that wastrel? A wastrel who had nothing going for him except being born into the right family. Everyone was outraged. Later, as people pushed Xie Yang forward step by step, there were countless moments when he wanted to give up. But whenever he remembered how unwaveringly Gu Mingyue had chosen him, he gritted his teeth and persevered. A husband prospers through his wife, and a wife through her husband. He was a man rotting in the mud, while the moon hung high above. Having dragged her down to earth, he would personally send her back up.
