Why Is My Husband So Forward? (Matriarchal Society)

Lin Zhuoran first meets Shen Junze at the princess's residence. The calculating look in his eyes makes him thoroughly unlikeable.

The two of them are at odds, always trading barbs whenever they meet, as if they'd be losing out if they didn't get under each other's skin.

Then one day, Lin Zhuoran suddenly realizes something is wrong. Why is Shen Junze, the princess's concubine, bringing her nourishing soup in the middle of the night?

Why is he mending her torn clothes?

Why does he cling to her and refuse to let go when he's drunk?

Lin Zhuoran looks at the princess in alarm. The princess comes over and merely pats her on the shoulder, saying helplessly, "Sorry to trouble you."

What do you mean, trouble? Isn't he your man?!

The drunken Shen Junze acts as though he's claimed her, affectionately wrapping an arm around Lin Zhuoran's neck and whispering in her ear, "Shen Junze likes General Lin the very, very most."

Lin Zhuoran's face turns bright red in an instant. With that slender waist in her arms, she has no idea where to put her hands.

[Bonus scenes]

1. "Have you seen my sword?"

Lin Zhuoran rummages around the house but can't find her weapon, so she turns to Shen Junze, who is still bleary-eyed with sleep.

He shakes his head, looking innocent.

Lin Zhuoran narrows her eyes and walks toward him step by step. Shen Junze rolls over, pulls the sword hidden beneath the covers out, and hugs it tightly to his chest. Looking pitiful, he begs, "Don't go to the military camp. Stay here and keep me company today."

2. Before they get together:

Lin Zhuoran: This guy has more tricks up his sleeve than a hornet's nest! He can't stand losing out on anything.

Everyone: The young general has a sharp eye. Shen Junze clearly looks like a bad sort.

After they get together:

Lin Zhuoran: My Shen Lang is a pure-hearted man. Don't you dare bully him.

Everyone: ??? You're the one who knows how to play favorites!

[Author's note]

1. Shen Junze is a strategist who serves the princess as her concubine.

2. A cunning, scheming Shen Junze x emotionally oblivious, slow-on-the-uptake Lin Zhuoran.
