I Find Guanyin So Enchanting

The Xiao family of Lanling had a daughter, given the childhood name Guanyin. Beautiful in appearance and virtue, she was a peerless beauty. She caught the eye of the powerful minister Yuwen Tao's wife, who chose her as a bride for her son.

The young lords of the Yuwen family were all exceptionally handsome, accomplished in both letters and arms, and outstanding among men. Only the second son was dim-witted and mediocre, with the mind of a three-year-old child.

Guanyin was to marry the second son.

On their wedding night, the young lords teased their brother and laughed as they made a lively scene in the bridal chamber. But the moment the bride lowered her fan, all laughter and chatter abruptly stopped.

"I find Guanyin so charming. I wonder what she thinks of me..."

A scumbag who gets hooked and chases his wife through a fiery trial. His actual looks and his love for the heroine are directly proportional, because the male lead, who pretends to be foolish and ugly early on, will dress up to please the one he loves. This novel is also known as What Does It Feel Like to Marry a Fool Who's Actually a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?, What Does It Feel Like to Have a Peerless Beauty for a Wife Right Beside You Every Day, Yet Have to Pretend to Be a Fool Who Knows Nothing About Romance?, How Could a Fool Be Worthy of a Peerless Beauty? Let Me Take Her!, and My Wife Is So Beautiful That Wolves Are Circling. How Will the Fool Protect Her from Them?...

Mini-scene:

After the wedding, Madam Yuwen asks her son what he thinks of married life. The second son grumbles, "I used to sleep all by myself in a huge, comfy bed. Now I have to give half of it to someone else. We have to squeeze together every night. I don't like it, I don't like it..."

The men look at the peerlessly beautiful wife beside him and all shake their heads in their hearts. What a fool, he's really a fool. Little do they know how exactly the two of them are squeezing together: enough to produce the future Crown Prince.

The male lead pretends to be foolish and dim-witted for a reason. Later, he becomes cold and violent. The heroine is the light that saves him and helps him escape his personal hell, turning him from a "vengeful ghost" into a human being.

The heroine was born detached from worldly concerns, with great love in her heart but no capacity to love. The male lead gives her a mortal heart, drawing her down from beyond the world and into his arms, turning her from a "god" into a human being.

She leads him out of hell, and he takes her into the mortal world. The story is bittersweet, with a happy ending.

Theme: I hold your hand, and we grow old together.
