Tao Luoyi has always been lucky. Whenever she runs into trouble, she manages to turn disaster into fortune. The people around her dote on her because of it, until her half-sister is brought back into the family.
Mother: "Tao Luoyi stole Yu's good fortune. That's why the poor child is frail and sickly."
Father: "If Tao Luoyi weren't such a good cook, and our family restaurant didn't depend on her, why would I let Yu suffer so many indignities?"
Her childhood sweetheart and fiance: "If you hadn't gotten lucky and ended up engaged to me, I would have been with Yu."
Her friends: "I know you're upset that Yu's back, but you shouldn't have deliberately made her sick."
All the affection Tao Luoyi had once received was taken away. They trampled her dignity and crushed her hopes.
Only when her cooking hand could no longer lift a spatula did she understand that everyone has their favorites.
Determined to leave home, she married the mute horse groom who worked for the family.

Everyone in Yuzhou knew that He Ningyuan, the prince of a territory with a different surname, was a strange man. He even defied imperial decrees. His manor had no living person in it besides himself, and he was a murderous demon who killed without batting an eye.
That is, until one day, he brought home a young girl with a broken left hand.
He followed close behind her wherever she went and opened a noodle stall in the north of the city.
Even when the girl hit him, he smiled from ear to ear, like a wolf that had caught the scent of meat.

Tao Luoyi thought He Ningyuan had stopped speaking because of a traumatic experience, so she told him that if he could say a single word, she'd kiss him once.
Instead, He Ningyuan kissed her until her legs went weak. For the first time, she heard him say, "Wife, who exactly told you I couldn't talk?"
