[Please, little angels, add this story to your collections. If I don't get enough preorders, I'll die; I'm too scared to start posting. I'll send red packets when the first three chapters go up!]
Mei Shengrui, daughter of the richest family in the capital, is a refined young lady with a gentle disposition. Suitors line up at her door.
Yet she's forced to marry Luo Qing, the eldest legitimate son of the current prime minister and the capital's most notorious scoundrel.
After their marriage, she can't stand Luo Qing and thinks he's a good-for-nothing. Luo Qing can't stand her either, and thinks she's a dull beauty with no sense of fun.
The couple are like sworn enemies.
The capital's noble ladies wave their fans and mock Mei Shengrui to her face.
Mei Shengrui can't bear to go on living this way. She grits her teeth, steels herself, and rolls up her sleeves. And so, Madam Luo, the capital's most notorious shrew, is born.
From then on, when Luo Qing goes to the tavern, Madam Luo serves the food. When Luo Qing goes to the gambling house, Madam Luo runs the table. When Luo Qing gets into a fight, Madam Luo waves the banners and cheers him on. When Luo Qing takes the dog for a walk, Madam Luo reminds him not to leave stinky dog poop lying around and to keep the city looking nice.
At Madam Luo's sweet call of "Husband," not only does Luo Qing tremble, but the capital's entertainment venues all feel an earthquake.
Before long, all the entertainment venues in the capital put up signs: "Luo Qing and his pet dog are not allowed inside."
Luo Qing: My lady, I was wrong. Please forgive me! I'll change, I'll change everything. Please spare me and my dog. The poor thing is so pitiful.
Madam Luo calls out softly, and the dog wags its tail and leaps into her arms.
Luo Qing: You ungrateful little thing! Even you have betrayed me!
With nowhere to go for fun, Luo Qing stays at home and works hard. He practices martial arts by day and reads at night.
After that, Luo Qing's life goes through ups and downs, then more ups and downs: he places first in the imperial examinations, ends up in prison, and eventually becomes a general who protects the nation.
Mei Shengrui is always by his side.
He shines brilliantly, and she is every bit his equal. He travels far and wide, and she stays with him through every storm.
The wife he was once forced to marry has, without his realizing it, become the love of his life.
He would risk his life to keep her safe and ensure she lives without worry for the rest of her days.
Which noble lady in the capital would dare mock Madam Luo now? Isn't she afraid the powerful, wife-protecting madman will sentence her to death?
Years later, as they sit by the western window trimming the candlewick, Mei Shengrui tells Luo Qing that meeting him is the happiest thing in her life. Without him, she would have been trapped in the women's quarters forever, but now she's living the life she always wanted.
Luo Qing: My lady, if there is another life...
Mei Shengrui: Then we'll be husband and wife again, and never leave each other.
They tied the knot as husband and wife, and never doubted one another's love. If alive, they'd return to one another; if dead, they'd remain lovesick forever.
They both lived long, happy lives and didn't die.
I always fill the holes I dig, and my track record is proof. My profile's little tree is proof, too.
