The Young Marquis Always Gets Face-Slapped

Young Lord Ji is proud and handsome. He rides through the capital on a white horse with a silver saddle, drawing countless admiring glances.

But an imperial marriage decree binds him to Jiang Li, the young miss of the Jiang family.

Young Lord Ji has always hated delicate, pampered girls like her. At a banquet, he tears up the marriage decree on the spot and declares that he will never marry her.

Jiang Li's eyes redden with anger. "If you won't marry me, I don't want to marry you either!"

After that, Jiang Li never seeks him out again.

Young Lord Ji initially thinks he's rid himself of a nuisance, but gradually he realizes something is wrong.

The spoiled girl he imagined Jiang Li to be turns out to have delicate features and a lively figure. She's popular, and many people in the capital like her.

She is always smiling, sweetly calling other men "big brother" while treating him, though he's right beside her, as if he weren't there.

Riding, drawing a bow, shooting arrows, and enjoying wine suddenly lose all their appeal.

Young Lord Ji sits nearby, watching her affectionately call another man "big brother." His expression darkens.

Later.

He says, "What do you call me?"

Jiang Li glares at him and refuses to answer.

So he murmurs seductively, "Get it wrong once, and you'll lose tomorrow's crispy flower candy."

She gives in. "Don't!"

He raises an eyebrow. "What do you call me?"

"Big brother."

"Again."

"Pah! Ji Wuyin, dream on! There's no way I... Mmph, big brother."

And so Young Lord Ji thinks to himself:

Forget it. He's already been slapped in the face more than once. Might as well let it happen again.

My wife really is irresistible.
