My Husband Won't Consummate Our Marriage

[Black Lotus vs. Pure-Hearted Husband]

Unable to bear the Fengyue Pavilion's constant pressure to marry, its master runs away from home to relax in the mortal world.

She happens upon a tyrant trying to abduct a man, so she steps in to save him and spirits away a husband for herself.

Though down on his luck, her husband has an admirable backbone and pays no mind to Pavilion Master Leng's advances.

As Pavilion Master Leng investigates a case, she uncovers a string of shocking crimes.

“If there is another life, I'll be the heartless man and you'll be the lovesick woman. I'll make you taste what it's like to give your heart to someone who doesn't deserve it.”

[New Book Coming Soon: The Princess Consort Is an Illustrator]

Shen Shuyun is an accomplished illustrator. After dying from overwork, she transmigrates into the body of a concubine-born daughter of the prime minister and marries the foolish Prince Gu Xihe, who lost his wits after being injured.

Though the prince is foolish, the Rui Prince's estate is wealthy and powerful. Shen Shuyun settles into a life of scholarly research and drinking and chatting with cultural luminaries.

Devoted to preserving culture, she resolves to leave valuable historical records for future scholars. Without even realizing it, she helps advance the cultural life of the Great Zhou dynasty and enriches the spiritual and cultural lives of ordinary people.

She is a detached observer of history, but Prince Rui is like a little sun, melting her cold, sealed heart.

The mighty God of War, Prince Rui, is poisoned by accident and loses his mind. After the finest efforts of the imperial physician save his life, he continues to pretend to be a fool to conceal his identity while recovering from his severe injuries. But his father hastily arranges a marriage, and he is forced to marry Shen Shuyun, the prime minister's concubine-born daughter.

After being bitten by a snake once, he sees everyone as a threat, but his repeated tests eventually make him fall in love for real.

As the princess consort makes more and more friends, Prince Rui's jealousy reaches its limit. Risking exposure, he puts on a secret identity to get close to her and begs for her attention and affection, embarking on a long road to winning his wife over.

One lie takes countless more to cover it up. Prince Rui vacillates between acting sane and pretending to be a fool, suffering terribly as matters gradually slip out of his control and take an incredible turn...

One day, carried away while disguised, he passionately confesses and demands of the princess consort, “You have to choose one of us, me or Prince Rui!”

The princess consort sweeps away. The next day, she sends him a comic book titled The God of War's Past. On the title page is a note from the author: “The image of a hero in my heart comes entirely from him. The God of War of Great Zhou deserves to be known throughout the land.”

Gu Xihe, receiving the comic book, is beside himself. It seems like he was rejected, but maybe not completely?

Shen Shuyun belatedly realizes that her foolish husband, whom she has been raising like a big cat, seems different from before.
