The Emperor's Ugly Wife

The main story is complete. Let it build up and then enjoy it. Thanks for staying with me all this way, and I hope you'll continue to support me. The woman Yan Xingdao had cherished for more than a decade was married off to someone else by an imperial decree. Furious with rage, he stormed the wedding with a knife. The emperor was enraged and ordered people to find an ugly woman in the city and force her into a marriage with him. Mu Wanyu, the only female constable in the empire, was disguised and undercover in the marketplace on an investigation. As it turned out, her makeup was so ugly that someone picked her out at a glance and dragged her straight into the palace without a word. When Mu Wanyu learned she was to marry the empire's Grand Tutor, a first-rank official, she was dumbfounded. When Yan Xingdao saw her pockmarked face, he was stunned. From then on, these two people, who should never have crossed paths, were forcibly bound together and began a chaotic little life. One day, when Yan Xingdao went to court with dark circles under his eyes, the ministers couldn't help secretly covering their mouths. The Grand Tutor had been beaten up again! Everyone says a melon forced off the vine won't be sweet, but as it turns out, a forced melon can sometimes be sweet too, with a touch of tartness. A few warnings: The male lead has a flawed personality and no friends. He's shameless and a total beauty lover. (How is anyone supposed to live like this!) The female lead has a job and ambitions. She's a diligent, hardworking young woman who loves making little inventions. She occasionally has moments of brilliance, but most of the time she just gets herself into trouble. (Technology changes lives.) This story is set in a fictional world with no historical basis. The logic serves the plot. If it's not your cup of tea, feel free to drop it, but please don't flame me. The plot is a slow burn, with both sweet and angsty moments. The sweet parts are tooth-achingly sugary, while the angst will make you spit blood. If you can't stomach angst, feel free to drop the story. Upcoming story: "The Ugly Wife" Everyone knows that Yanjing has two great jokes. The first is that the Liu family's concubine-born daughter is hideously ugly. Though her character is dignified, she was born with a face full of pockmarks, making her hard to look at. The young ladies of the capital's elite circles have privately nicknamed her Dongshi. The second is Xie Tian, the second son of the Xie family. Though born into a military household, he was injured as a child and now walks with a pronounced limp. He is also impossibly conceited, and has fallen for the legendary beauty of the emperor's eldest princess. He dared to stop her carriage in the street and confess his love. He spoke until his throat was parched, and only then did the carriage curtain finally lift. A pockmarked young woman looked nervously at Xie Tian.
