Why Is My Wife-Lord Like That? (Matriarchal Society)

Xue Yuxiao transmigrates into a book. The role she’s transmigrated into is that of a top-tier spoiled young woman: flirtatious, debauched, cruel, and prone to violent fits. In just three years, she has beaten countless husbands and servants to death. She is the book’s biggest villain, a stumbling block in the protagonist’s path and a menace to the supporting characters. But Xue Yuxiao herself is famous for being gentle, kind, and good-natured. She has no desires and wants nothing more than to save the world. On her first day in this world, it’s her wedding night, and she’s about to lift her side husband’s veil. Xue Yuxiao searches her memories, unsure whether she’s married the prime minister’s son, a brilliant physician, or some other young man from the story. She raises the veil and meets a pair of eyes as clear and cold as ice. Oh. The male lead. ...What? The male lead? On the first night after marrying into her household, he keeps a dagger tucked against himself and says, “Touch me and I’ll kill you.” In the first month, he never smiles and sleeps with his back turned, saying nothing. By the first year, he’s washing his hands to cook for her, lighting incense, and making up her bed. One stormy night, he crawls into her arms and tugs at Xue Yuxiao’s clothes, his eyes red-rimmed as he asks cautiously, “Please don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?” 1.

She spent half her life as a carefree, spoiled young woman. Only after her family falls into ruin and stands on the brink of collapse does the System finally arrive, belatedly assigning her a task with a generous reward: [Main quest: Become the person your target trusts most.] Gu Tang steels herself. Great, my cheat has finally arrived, even if it’s late. Let’s see who the target is... The System panel clearly displays the name of the current Seventh Prince. Gu Tang is silent for a long while, then asks, forcing herself to speak, “Are you serious?” Rumor has it that the Seventh Prince is frail and cruel, has no regard for personal virtue, and repeatedly interferes in government affairs, making enemies of everyone at court. When Gu Tang, the daughter of a disgraced official, takes a post at Sanquan Palace, everyone whispers that her days are numbered and that the Seventh Prince will find an excuse to dispose of her. But as the days and months pass, Gu Tang not only survives but earns the Seventh Prince’s trust. She saves her relatives, helps the people across the land, and performs one meritorious deed after another. From a low-ranking female clerk at Sanquan Palace, she becomes a rising star in the capital, gradually gaining the power to control the court. The emperor worries about her marriage and intends to arrange one for her. Gu Tang, who has spent half her life living freely, retreats to a lakeside pavilion to warm wine and watch the snow. By chance, the Seventh Prince happens upon her. As old friends and kindred spirits, she pours out all her troubles, then falls asleep with her head on his lap. His eyes shimmer like rippling water, and his wine-scented breath falls against her temple. The proud Seventh Prince, who never willingly sits with women, suddenly asks her with the resolve of someone burning his bridges. “If it were me, would you be willing?” Theme: A single kind thought can ease suffering.
