Prince Jin looks refined, elegant, and unfailingly polite, yet he keeps doing impolite things. Even after he suddenly proposed to her, barged into her private quarters, and coerced her into marriage, Chu Kening could still keep a straight face. She chose her husband herself, so she must smile as she eats the bitter fruit. This story is set in an alternate world, and the author’s skills are limited.

Please follow my author page: Please add my new work in progress to your library: The Coroner’s Wife Flirts with the Embroidered Guard Cheng Muran and Gu Yuechen got married, and from then on they lived happily, bickering whenever they couldn’t stand each other. The Shopkeeper’s Young Wife “Shopkeeper’s wife, what’s your approach to managing a household?” “Be as bossy as you can get away with!” “Shopkeeper, what do you think of your wife’s approach to managing the household?” “...You have to know when to back down.” A story about a woman who returns to ancient times and opens a trendy pastry shop. Already completed: The Great Merchant’s Wife Wu Su has been married for three years, but she has never even seen what her husband looks like. She has only heard that he is a wastrel. He took over a perfectly good business selling the Four Treasures of the Study, and ran it into the ground in just one year. She has also heard that he is a libertine who made a pleasure boat belonging to the beautiful women of West Lake his home, staying there for three whole years. And she has heard that he is an unfilial son who seized the family property and split off from the family, taking ten thousand taels of silver from the household in one go. Even so, Wu Su still hopes her husband will come home, simply because her greatest hobby is educating other people! At last, Wu Su’s husband returns. But... what is wrong with this picture? Where is the wastrel she was promised? Why has a wealthy, triumphant merchant come back instead? Where is the libertine she was promised? Why does this man keep following Wu Su around with hungry eyes, yet swear up and down that he is still untouched? Where is the unfilial son she was promised? Why have the clan elders come begging and wailing for him to take over as clan head? Wu Su is furious. She is the one who educates other people, not the one who gets educated! The Rich Wife She arrives to face a three-court interrogation, then gets forced into marrying into a poor family. Her constable husband isn’t stern at all. Instead, he’s a grinning, idle layabout. The heiress wife is sweet and soft, spending her days tapping her abacus and batting her eyelashes. “Husband, come look at the account book. You owe me so much money!” The Big Landowner and His Young Wife Liu Xu’er once hoped that if she got reincarnated, she would at least be born a third-generation rich kid, with a tall, rich, and handsome husband, and live the high-end, carefree life of someone who never had to lift a finger. One day, she really was reincarnated... She became a third-generation pauper, without a tall, rich, and handsome husband. Wait, why does this young husband’s way of speaking sound so familiar? Could it be...? Liu Xu’er is on the verge of tears. Heaven, you’ve already banished me here, so what would it hurt to give me a different husband? The General’s Commoner Wife Zhao Yu has something she’s proud of: When she was fourteen, she “bullied” a man she had a crush on. Now she owns three cloth shops and is thriving. Qin Liao has something he finds hard to talk about: When he was seventeen, a woman “bullied” him. Now, although he has become a great general, just thinking of that woman still makes him grind his teeth in frustration. After returning victorious from battle, Qin Liao comes to settle the score with that woman in person. But... “What? She got married?!” Qin Liao is furious. How dare you, woman! Theme:
