My Husband Is Fierce and Sweet (Matriarchal Society)

After working continuously in the operating room for forty-eight hours, Lu Xiaoran died suddenly. When she woke, she had become the legitimate second daughter of Doctor Lu of the Censorate in the Great Xia Kingdom. Unlike her accomplished elder sister, the second daughter was one of the capital's young wastrels, spending her days chasing cats and teasing dogs, with no mischief beyond her.

By a twist of fate, Lu Xiaoran was forced to marry the Ninth Prince, Liu Nanxing. Two unwilling people were pushed together.

The Ninth Prince disliked her for being a wastrel and said, "I know the person you love isn't me, and I don't like you either. From now on, you can live however you like. We'll have nothing to do with each other."

Lu Xiaoran readily agreed. She turned around and opened a medical clinic, taking up the practice of medicine. Before long, she had shed her wastrel reputation and become the famed Little Divine Doctor Lu.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Little Divine Doctor and her husband, the Ninth Prince, were at odds and that their marriage was only for show. So the unmarried young men of the capital began to take an interest in her.

The Ninth Prince watched Lu Xiaoran grow more and more impressive, while her disgraceful past faded away. As they spent their days together, he fell in love with her.

Then he happened to find the invitations in the study. They had all been sent by various young men. Furious, he tore them up on the spot and went storming off to find Lu Xiaoran.

Lu Xiaoran assumed he'd come to confront her, and had already prepared what to say. Instead, she saw his eyes redden as he looked at her like a wronged spouse. "Has my wife grown tired of me? If I'm in someone's way, I'll gladly leave this household."

Lu Xiaoran: ???

Wait, she had only gone out for tea with a friend. What had happened?

Later, people in the capital saw the couple had even had a child. Some had personally witnessed the Little Divine Doctor anxiously protecting the Ninth Prince. So who had been saying they were unhappy together in the first place?
