My Husband Is Not Much to Look At

Same genre: My Rival and I Were Married by Imperial Decree is now serializing

A teary-eyed beauty x a gentle, scholarly teacher

Marriage first, love later.

The heroine only dreamed that she would be beheaded three years later! She was not reborn! There was no past life! None at all!!

Shi Qiao'er, the third daughter born to a concubine in the Shi family, who always set her sights too high despite her limited abilities, had a dream.

In the dream, she got her wish and married the young man she loved. But three years into their marriage, her husband raised an army in rebellion, and she ended up with her head and body separated.

After waking, she wept as she climbed to the embroidered tower. Ignoring the spirited young man she loved waiting below, she closed her eyes and tossed the embroidered ball as far away as she could. It happened to hit a scholarly teacher at a snack stall, just as he was slurping up a bowl of wontons...

The moment he turned around, she burst into loud sobs.

The teacher, Shen Qinghe, was tall and upright, with an appearance that was "nothing to write home about." He also had a frail, dying mother at home. A fortune-teller had said there was no romance in his fate, yet all it took was going out for a bowl of wontons for him to bring home a wife.

The only thing was... his wife cried far too much.

She cried while eating and cried while sleeping. She cried when he paid attention to her, and she still cried when he ignored her.

Shen Qinghe was certain the wind had been strong that day and the embroidered ball had missed its mark. One could not force matters of the heart, and there was nothing wrong with setting his wife free.

That was, until he clutched the already drafted divorce agreement and hurried to his father-in-law's home, where he saw his wife, who even chose handsome steamed buns when buying them, crying as she argued back at her second sister: "What's wrong with my husband? My husband is the most handsome man in the world! If you think he isn't handsome, you're blind!"

Only then did he realize that her heart held a place for him, too.

1. This is the story of a teary, spoiled young lady who eventually falls in love for real, with a focus on the heroine's growth.

2. The hero isn't the heroine's preferred type of handsome (but he isn't ugly, and is actually quite good-looking). The second sister says he isn't handsome in the blurb to provoke the heroine.

3. No contrived drama, no physical or emotional torment. Just a peaceful, ordinary life.

Theme: An interesting soul is one in a million.
