Qin Zijun, the rakish heir of the Changde Marquis household, is reborn.
His virtuous and refined wife of over ten years, Yue Yizhen, is reborn with him. He had driven her to her death.
At first, Qin Zijun thinks that with this second chance granted by fate, he can reclaim all the beauties and career opportunities he missed in his previous life.
Never in his wildest dreams does he expect that after he's reborn, everyone around him firmly believes in a principle he's never heard of:
A country without male virtue is no country at all!
He can't go out carousing. He can't even speak a little rudely to Yue Yizhen without his father's palm smacking him in the face:
"Is that how you speak to your wife? Keep virtue, appearance, speech, and work in mind, and conduct yourself with dignity!"
What's more, when Yue Yizhen and the capital's most notorious playboy, the handsome Prince Yi Rong Huaijin, exchange flirtatious glances, everyone says:
"Come on, women have to socialize and play along sometimes. What's wrong with a few extra words? You've gotten fat and you're still this petty. No wonder your wife can't stand you."
Finally, when Yue Yizhen hands him divorce papers and kicks him out with nothing, both his father and mother weep bitterly:
"Oh, you have no male virtue at all. What a disgrace to the family! You can't even keep your wife's heart. You might as well hang yourself!"
Yue Yizhen: Exactly.
A little skit:
Qin Goujun: Zhenzhen, I've changed. A reformed rake is worth more than gold!
Rong Moujin: I have perfect male virtue.
Qin Goujun: A hundred years of cultivation brings two people to share a pillow. You can't forget the bond of a first wife!
Rong Moujin: I have perfect male virtue.
Qin Goujun: Zhenzhen, I'll agree to anything you want in this life!
Rong Moujin: I have perfect male virtue.
Qin Goujun: Can you do anything besides repeat yourself? Zhenzhen is mine!
Rong Moujin: I'm handsome, and I have perfect male virtue.

[Notes]
1. Told from the female lead's perspective.
2. The female lead is not a virgin. If that bothers you, please don't read.
3. This is not a matriarchal society. The social structure is that of a conventional historical romance, except that male virtue is [VERY IMPORTANT].
4. Qin Goujun's pursuit of his wife is completely futile. Rong Moujin, handsome and perfect in male virtue, successfully wins her over.
