[Turns Out My Husband Is Such a Drama Queen]

[Sweet Romance: Marriage Before Love]

Zhuang Wan, the adopted daughter of Prince Xiao, marries the wrong man, Prince Lan Ye of Qi, to "repay a debt of gratitude."

Not only does the medicine fumes in his room give her a splitting headache every day, but she's also forced to clean up the mess in his household, while he spends all his time claiming to be a patient and ordering her around from his bed.

She feels like she's going to die of rage!

To protect the prince's reputation, she helps him smooth things over at every turn. In just six months, she's offended everyone in the manor she shouldn't have, and antagonized all the people from both the criminal underworld and the respectable world she should have avoided.

She uses every trick in the book to protect him.

Then she turns around and sees the man who was supposedly at death's door sitting in a treetop, leisurely munching on sunflower seeds!

And what's even more infuriating is that this marriage wasn't a "mistake" at all. It was a carefully planned scheme of his from beginning to end.

Zhuang Wan: "What is that supposed to mean?"

Lan Ye: "It means I've wanted to make you my wife for a long time!"

Zhuang Wan: "Since when?"

Lan Ye: "Probably..."

Probably since the day I was gravely ill and received a letter that had been delivered to me by mistake.

There wasn't a single word of comfort in it.

It was just a whole page of jokes.

I suppose that's when I started to get better.
