Qiao Qing was the least favored concubine-born son of the Qiao family. Unwilling to accept his lot, he deliberately fell into the water so he could win the marriage match his parents had chosen for his elder brother.
After marrying into the Song family, he had everything he could want.
He acted weak and played the victim, and his wife doted on him.
He clung to her and pretended to be timid, and his wife indulgently put up with him.
He asked for money and jewelry, taking control of the family’s finances, and his wife never complained.
He acted magnanimous and offered to find his wife more husbands. She gave him a long look, her gaze calm, and nodded slightly.
Little by little, Qiao Qing began to panic.
He tested his wife’s limits one step at a time. He had everything he could want, and no one could threaten his position as her primary husband, yet his heart felt terribly empty.
Later, he realized that although his wife seemed gentle and warm, she was actually detached and heartless.
He no longer wanted anything else. All he wanted was to win his wife’s heart.

Song Yun transmigrated to a matriarchal kingdom and became the emperor’s own niece.
After saving a man from drowning, she had no choice but to take on a marriage.
Her new husband was as beautiful as a flower. Song Yun was smitten and just about to start a romance when she realized all he wanted was to be a virtuous primary husband.
Ha! What’s so great about romance? Isn’t a career better?
From then on, she devoted herself to her career, while her husband started coming around every day to seduce her.
Song Yun: At first, I thought Qiao Qing was very innocent, and I couldn’t help wanting to protect him.
Later, I realized he was a man-eating flower, a little schemer. His personality was a perfect match for his name.
Later still, the little schemer presented his heart to me. His vulnerability was real, his scheming was real, and so was his love.
With his face dark and his eyes red, my husband said, “From now on, you’re only allowed to have me. I won’t be so magnanimous anymore. So what if people call me jealous? You’d better not betray me.”
His pitiful, adorable jealousy made Song Yun’s heart skip a beat.
Fine, he’d do.
