The Tough Wife

With this fire, I will make my way through life's endless night.

The Marquis of Yong'an was executed, and his son, Xie Lin'an, was sentenced to exile three thousand li for his crime.

On the day he set out, a woman in a wedding dress came to see him off, and followed him for three thousand li!

The road ahead was long, but Zhu Qing braved wind and rain at his side. In the bitter cold of the borderlands, she kept him safe. Through the changing seasons, she helped clear his name.

The world called Zhu Qing a "fierce wife."

Whenever Xie Lin'an looked up amid the shifting schemes around him, a spark always glimmered in the endless night, kindling the lamp in his heart. With a "fierce wife" like her, he wanted nothing more from life.

The beginning of this legend was simply one poor boy named Xie Lin'an meeting another poor child named Zhu Qing.

The Princess Has Been Face-Slapped Again and Again

Back when the wheel of fortune was turning in her favor, Sima Dexian was the beloved, pampered Princess Jin'an, admired by all and living in the lap of luxury.

Cao Yuan was nothing but the son of a eunuch. How could he dare to confess his love to her? Wasn't it only natural that she humiliate him?

After seeing him leave, deeply hurt, Princess Jin'an felt guilty for the first time in her life. But the feeling passed in an instant.

Thirty years later, the wheel of fortune had turned. Her country was destroyed and her family lost. The once-noble princess had sunk into the mire, reduced to a kitchen maid in a nouveau riche household. A phoenix without its feathers was no better than a chicken.

Naturally, she wasn't going to sit around and wait for her fate. So Sima Dexian set her sights on the household's newest and most distinguished guest. Then she discovered that he was Cao Yuan, the man she had once humiliated...

Sima Dexian spent her days and nights worrying that he would recognize her and take revenge. Only then did she understand what it meant for the wheel of fortune to turn, and that one should never look down on a poor young man.

Cao Yuan, who recognized her the moment they reunited, simply said, "Heh."

Face-slapping version:

"Even if you beat me to death, I will never fall for that brat Cao Yuan!" Princess Jin'an once declared firmly.

Later, Princess Jin'an said, "Mmm! He's delicious!"

Cao Yuan: "…"

"Wait!!! Why am I the only one getting face-slapped?" Princess Jin'an complained.

"Because I've always loved you! That never changed!" said Cao, now a master at flirting with the princess, putting on a deliberately cold expression.
