Twilight: How Can Worries Be Dispelled?

Blurb:

Upcoming novel: The Crybaby Bridegroom Who Always Wants a Divorce

Strong yet sweet and soft bride vs. sensitive, insecure little crybaby

An Wanjun, the legitimate daughter of Vice Minister An, has rosy cheeks and a charmingly innocent air. Beneath her seemingly delicate appearance, however, lies her inborn extraordinary strength.

At a flower-viewing banquet after her coming-of-age ceremony, she accidentally revealed her strength. Madam Lü, He Yichen's mother, took a liking to her at first sight and came to propose on her son's behalf.

At their first meeting, he wore plain, moon-white robes and gazed down with clear, dewy eyes that won her heart.

Just as she was falling for him, he started making excuses and stammered,

"A man and a woman should keep their distance. I shouldn't trouble you, Miss... You could never bear the burdens of the He family. Why ruin yourself?"

Her anger flared, and she accidentally shattered a stone table. He blurted out, "Freak."

An orange she tossed aside struck his forehead and raised a huge bump. Faced with her forceful threats, he could only shrink back in timid silence, and they parted on bad terms.

When they met again, he protected her from falling down the stone steps amid the crush of the crowd. His words, "Miss An, please don't let a foolish man like me make yourself ill," rekindled her affection.

Her butterfly-wing lashes veiled her almond eyes as she parted her red lips and teased him deliberately: "What if I don't want to forgive you?"

His eyes reddened with panic, and his round pupils were full of helpless confusion. He looked just like the little puppy she had once kept.

Just as their feelings for each other were growing, an unrelated man invoked propriety between men and women to reprimand her. Her timid suitor stood up to defend her honor.

Their marriage was settled. He carved a peach-blossom jade hairpin by hand as a token, offered a gilt-gold hair ornament set weighing eighteen liang as betrothal gifts, and presented a live goose he had hunted himself to show his sincerity.

But just as she was filled with joy, she found herself alone on their wedding night, dressed in blazing red wedding robes. He would rather curl up and sleep on the outer couch than consummate their marriage with her.

She pretended to be a gentle, virtuous wife, speaking softly and hoping he would change his mind, while currying favor with her mother-in-law and taking charge of the household accounts.

When she saw that neither soft words nor hard ones worked, she dropped the act and pressed him at every turn. She and her mother-in-law drugged him so they could consummate the marriage, forcing herself on him. But his words, "We shouldn't consummate the marriage," drove a wedge between them, and their affection turned cold.

He Yichen lost his father when he was young. At seven, he composed a poem and became a pupil of a renowned scholar; at fifteen, he passed the provincial examination.

Though he was hailed as the reincarnation of the God of Literature, in private he was stubborn and suspicious, sensitive and fragile.

He fell in love with An Wanjun at first sight. Even after she revealed her true nature, his feelings did not change. But unwilling to make her share his fears and worries, he repeatedly refused the marriage proposal.

Political turmoil left them no choice but to marry. The He family's relatives were a pack of wolves and tigers, and he couldn't bear to see her trapped in that quagmire forever. He pretended to distance himself from her in public, but in private he secretly covered his mouth and wept over her coldness.

One reckless night, he panicked and blurted out words that nearly caused them to lose each other.

Watching her leave with a resentful look, he pursued her desperately until he finally won his beloved back.

In the dark, he straddled her waist and let her explore him. As tears dampened the corners of his eyes and his restraint reached its limit, she bit his earlobe and asked, "Husband, is there something you want?"

Tears streamed down his face. He lowered his head and choked out in a hoarse voice,

"I beg you, my wife, have mercy on me~"

3. This is not a strong-female-lead novel, and the male lead isn't perfect. Please don't read if that's not for you.

I'll try not to follow the original plot too closely. Please don't flame me if you don't like it.
