Everyone says Yu Zening is a perfect gentleman, as gentle and refined as jade.
Qu Lanfú says: Pah!
The moment Lanfú opened her eyes, she heard her maid cheerfully announce, "Miss, the Yu family has come to present the betrothal gifts!" She felt a mouthful of blood clog her throat, neither able to spit it out nor swallow it down. She was so choked with fury she wished she could die all over again.
Everyone envied their loving marriage and deep devotion, but no one knew the bitterness Lanfú had endured during her seventeen years of marriage.
She was reborn at the wrong time, and her hopes of marrying someone else had vanished. Lanfú was full of pent-up anger. She was determined not to be the model of a virtuous lady or the standard for a noblewoman anymore. What was the point of being given another life if she was just going to live the way she had before?
The first thing she would do was cure her jade-like husband of his illness!
On their wedding night, Yu Zening had spent ages psyching himself up, dawdling until almost dawn before finally entering the room. To his astonishment, the bride was clutching a bedpost and using two tea stems to prop open her eyelids as she stared at him ominously. "Husband, aren't you coming to bed?"
