"Cool, beautiful woman with a seven-orifice exquisite heart × sinister, ferocious wolfdog"
At fourteen, Ding Baozhi was sent to the palace for her beauty. Unfortunately, she failed the selection and became a palace maid.
At nineteen, the emperor granted a special pardon allowing a thousand palace maids to leave the palace. Ding Baozhi was lucky enough to be chosen, but as soon as she got home, she was promised to a sickly man as a bride to bring him good fortune.
After a life that hard, surely things would finally get easier for her now
Who knew that on her wedding night, the Embroidered Uniform Guard raided her husband's entire household? The wedding turned into a funeral, with a violent storm raging as cries of grief filled the air.
Ding Baozhi caught the eye of Xue Shao, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He spared her from being sent to the Music Bureau to work as a prostitute, in exchange for her going with him.
Everyone said she was in for a grim fate, and that the "living demon" Xue Shao would probably chew her down to the bone.
Not long afterward, the Ding family held a funeral for Ding Baozhi, only to see her return unharmed, with the "living demon" Xue Shao following close behind, holding an umbrella over her to shield her from the rain.
No one understood what was going on. Even Ding Baozhi was bewildered. The fierce wolf she had imagined seemed more like a wolfdog...
Several months earlier, in the Forbidden City.
Xue Shao, Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had earned merit by executing a treacherous eunuch, so the emperor allowed him to ask for a reward.
All his life, Xue Shao had known nothing but the flash of blades, and he wanted nothing except for the emperor to let the palace maid Ding Baozhi leave the palace. She was nineteen and could not waste away there any longer.
The emperor sighed that Xue Shao was so lovesick over his unrequited love that he was practically an idiot, but granted his request all the same.
"But releasing just one palace maid would be too unusual. I'll take your purge of the court as an opportunity to pardon a thousand palace maids and let them leave the palace, so your Ding Baozhi can go with them."
"Thank you for your gracious favor. Xue Shao will serve you with all his heart, even unto death."

Xue Rong's factory configuration, Rong is a complete winner (sharing the secret, barely dependent on each other), the result is that Rong himself shattered the position in Ding's heart, Rong did not become like this, he was not well-intentioned at the beginning (wanted to peek at Ding's body), he can only say that he deserves it. Xue Shi is really, from a bad start, it's great to exchange sincerity for sincerity. Ding can't say "I love you", but this sentence is sweeter than "I love you", because in this sentence there are two people, Xue and Ding, and the future...
Ding Baozhi is the bright moon and the snow-white cat, and Xue Shao's evil wolf Zhushi finally caught his moon in "I'm Sorry I Don't Understand"
Following all the way from the first chapter, the ill-fated Baoer was sweating when he was married home by Brother Xue Zi. Baoer has a tough temper, because Brother Xue Zi sometimes doesn't know how to express his love. But fortunately, Baoer is smart and transparent, and he has lived up to Brother Xue Zi. I really love Bao'er's character. She doesn't care about favors or humiliation. I can't bear to let him go. 555555
Ding: I'm not making up lies. Xue's reputation and her husband's attitude are all true. How do you understand that it has nothing to do with me... It's so funny I thought it was too easy for Ding to act like this, but after thinking about it for a moment, it seemed to outsiders that Xue took Ding home and married him because he was interested in him when he raided Zhang's house. Rong didn't know the actual relationship between Xue and Ding. To outsiders, it seemed to outsiders that it was a wolf that took a shivering rabbit back to its den and raised it... Plus, everything Ding said was true (except for wanting to run away), so it was easy for Rong to believe it... Rong, you are so miserable, hahahaha.
If Xue and Ding were a loving couple who already knew each other and cherished each other, and Xue dealt with Zhuzhu on his own, Ding would not be so angry. Ding originally planned to die quietly in the palace, but was forced out of the palace by Xue. After leaving the palace, his father "sold his daughter for glory" and gave her as a concubine. That night, Xue ransacked the Zhang family (although the Zhang family was on the list of houses to be confiscated, but it was still because Xue did not want Ding to marry), and then kidnapped Ding in public, and then betrayed Ding. Marry her instead... To be honest, Ding is passive during the whole process, and she is also passive in Xue Ding's relationship. All she can rely on is Xue's love for him, so she has resentments, will be too afraid to talk to him, and will tell Xue that she treats herself as a person, not as a property (an equal person). Ding understands Zhuzhu's inability to do anything of her own (the threat to her sister's life and the helplessness of being ordered by the Lord as a servant). In addition, Zhuzhu is young and has a tragic life experience. Ding will sympathize with her, but he will not forgive her. If Zhuzhu did something that should be punished by death, Ding will not say anything. Xue dealt with Zhuzhu on his own, and Ding knew it was for his own good, but because of what Xue did before, Ding couldn't let go, and what Zhuzhu did was not worth his life (because the medicine hurt the body, not life), and because of what Xue had done, it would be strange for Ding not to be angry (and from the looks of it, they will have a quarrel sooner or later)
In comparison, the dog is really sincere (although the method was wrong at first), and as expected, the relationship is still more sincere than sincere.
Um... I don't understand why you should be so angry with the male protagonist for someone who harmed you...
Hmm... I feel like Baozhi will be angry and sad
Oops, it suddenly occurred to me that the reason for the death of the male protagonist's parents has not been filled [heartbroken]
The last chapter is a bit templated and has no characteristics.
