The thing Chen Yudu "regretted" most in her life was marrying Wang Xiaodong. He showed her all too well what people mean when they say "you get what you pay for."
Wang Xiaodong was a pretty, spoiled little schemer, full of tricks. He was an expert at climbing onto the roof to pull up the tiles, throwing tantrums, and picking fights. He was a master at driving people crazy.

After making a mistake, he was punished with a beating in the courtyard by his lord. Tear tracks on his face, he lay on the bed, trembling as he bit the bedsheets and begged his wife to show him mercy. Tears streamed down his face, and he looked pitifully aggrieved.
"I thought that after I made a mistake, Wife-Owner would never pay attention to me again."
"It doesn't hurt. As long as Wife-Owner keeps loving and spoiling me, that's all I need."
He was beautiful and alluring, with a dazzling, delicate charm. That act was just too beautiful... so pitiful... Fine, I won't punish him any further.
I can't bear to.

Chen Yudu was busy with official duties away from home and had not returned for a long time. By chance, someone tried to seduce her, deliberately making a move after she got drunk. Wang Xiaodong saw her push the person away and refuse.
He didn't make a scene.
He obediently helped Chen Yudu back to her room.
The next evening, he wore a sexy, sheer lace top that left his shoulders bare, drank himself into a stupor in the courtyard, and went to find Chen Yudu with red-rimmed eyes.
He leaned coquettishly over the table, striking a sexy, alluring pose and batting his eyelashes. Then he said, "You don't love me anymore. I can leave."
"I don't care at all."
That coy, come-hither-but-keep-your-distance act...
Chen Yudu apologized and tried to kiss him. He covered her lips to stop her. "You mustn't..."
Then he struck an even more enticing pose, his body half-revealed, and said behind his hand:
"I only came to talk to Wife-Owner. Wife-Owner, what... what are you trying to do to me?"
Sigh...
How could I, his wife, not know he was acting? But so what? As long as he loves me and is willing to put some thought into me, that's all that matters.
Content warnings:
1. Both leads are virgins. The male lead is weak and good for nothing except being beautiful. He's a little slutty, a crafty little husband. This story is just for fun, and it's neither plot-driven nor romance-driven.
2. The male lead is very slutty. Very! Click away if you can't handle that! I just think the character concept is fun.
3. The author works a side job, so updates are hard. No pirated copies, and no critiques of the writing. Just have fun reading and don't take it seriously.
