I Won My Sweetheart Back with My Own Two Hands

The one I won back through sheer devotion is my darling.

Who does Luqiu think he is?

*

He destroyed her country, and she blamed him.

He killed her blood relatives, and she blamed him.

He slaughtered her mount, and she blamed him.

He even killed a lowly servant, and she blamed him for that too.

He was the supreme ruler who commanded the Five Wastes and Ten Kingdoms. Luohuang was no more than a rotting boil on his body, a root that had to be cut out before it spread.

It wasn't worth ruining his foundations over a rotten root.

Qi Chu couldn't understand it. He had mercifully spared her life, overlooked the past and taken her into his household, showering her with endless affection and riches. Why would she still be so ungrateful as to sacrifice herself for her country?

Why did she keep saying things that stabbed him right in the heart?

After the woman died, Qi Chu endured the agony of sinews being severed, bones being crushed, and knives carving through his heart every single day.

Whenever he thought of her, he missed her so much his soul trembled.

*

After being reborn, the bastard remembered the woman's peculiar fondness for flattery. So he deliberately curbed his sharpness and, without batting an eye, became her devoted lapdog.

Whenever he had the chance, he'd shamelessly beg and wag his tail, pleading for her affection...

Yinji: "..."

Qi Chu tricked, cajoled, and wheedled until at last he persuaded the woman to marry him of her own free will.

On their wedding day,

the muscles around Qi Chu's shoulder blades trembled with feverish excitement.

I've won my darling back through devotion. (He was getting ahead of himself.)

Her father wanted her to take a male concubine to teach her about such things.

When the household's wild slave heard, he shyly offered himself to her.

Yinji spent the whole night tossing and turning. He might have been born a slave, but he was handsome and charming enough to inspire affection, so she accepted him.

But she never expected

that a mere lowly slave would dare get moody with her and covet the place of her officially wedded husband!

Yinji was utterly shocked.

Had this little slave gotten carried away just because she'd shown him a little favor?

Content warnings:

1. The heroine loves being flattered and is extremely vain. The hero is a total bastard, a savage dog and a wretched scoundrel, as the saying goes.

Until one day, he discovered the joys of being a lapdog... and got hooked...

2. The hero grovels from beginning to end.
