After My Husband Read My Mind

A careless, gloomy young lady with questionable taste & a fake playboy, a carefree and flamboyant yet pure-hearted young lord Kou Kou comes from the declining Loyal and Brave Marquis household. The old madam is greedy, her father is timid, her mother is lazy and loves good food, and her younger brother is an idler. Fortunately, she has made something of herself and is known in the capital as a woman of both talent and beauty. Yet in the end, she marries Pei Yanqiu, the capital's number-one playboy. Pei Yanqiu is charming and debonair, and treats life like a game. His only real asset is his illustrious family background. He hasn't come home once in the half month since their wedding, spending every day out and about, having fun. Everyone in the capital assumes Kou Kou is heartbroken. In reality, she doesn't take Pei Yanqiu seriously either, and often gets lost in her own melancholy. But fate has other plans. Pei Yanqiu is accidentally struck by lightning, forcing the couple to interact. When Pei Yanqiu wakes up, he suddenly hears an unexpected inner voice. [The poor thing finally woke up. Now she won't have to become a widow.] [Sigh, up close he's even thinner than a monkey.] Pei Yanqiu, who can hear her thoughts: ... From then on, Pei Yanqiu is subjected to Kou Kou's thoughts every day. He discovers that his wife is not only lazy, useless, and prone to tears, but might have something wrong with her head, too. She's nothing like the reputation she has outside. Interesting. A spark of interest flickers in Pei Yanqiu's beautiful, expressive eyes. But that's as far as it goes. Kou Kou has no idea what's going on. She only feels that her husband's gaze is getting stranger and stranger. Later, Kou Kou meets the person fate has destined for her. Excited, she rushes home. Seeing Pei Yanqiu approach, twirling his fan, she clenches her little fists and thinks: [Sorry, I've found my true love. I'm going after him.] [So! I want a divorce!] For the first time in her life, Kou Kou decides to stand up for herself. Pei Yanqiu hears every word. He stops in his tracks, his peach-blossom eyes narrowing as his face turns to ice. Even the jade fan he always carries is cruelly snapped in two. That night, Pei Yanqiu props his chin on his hand, his eyes dark and his expression half-smiling as he looks at Kou Kou. "You want a divorce?" "Not a chance." Kou Kou: ??? The next day, after calming down, Pei Yanqiu decides to pay a visit to the Loyal and Brave Marquis household. Parental orders are music to his ears. ★★★: 1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending, marriage before love. 2. Completely fictional setting. Don't overanalyze the details. 3. A bit irreverent, with plenty of inner monologue and everyday moments. Please don't cut me down. (/≧▽≦/) 4. The writing and plot could use improvement. Hugs~ 5. The characters grow (?). 6. Finally, thanks to everyone who read to the end. Kisses, mwah. Theme: Be confident and believe in yourself
