Who Taught You to Handle Your Husband Like That?!

[The main story is complete, bonus chapters are being updated~] 1. Because the balance of power between the families had shifted, Yu Ziyu, the delicate young daughter of the Yu family, had no choice but to marry Li Jiyan, a young general renowned for his courage and skill in battle. Yu Ziyu was unhappy about it. She had heard that Li Jiyan was cold and dull, with no sense of romance, and knew nothing but how to wield a spear and a staff. She certainly didn't want to marry someone so boring. Shortly before the wedding, she happened to overhear several elderly matrons in the household discussing the art of managing a husband. Yu Ziyu was a bit of a lunatic, and the moment she heard them, she had an epiphany! She went back and devised her own system for managing a husband. The three cardinal rules for a husband: propriety, heart, and body. She'd put all three into practice! From then on, she had a new toy of her own. Li Jiyan did whatever she said, bowed to her authority, and let her hit and scold him as she pleased. Yu Ziyu was convinced that it was all thanks to her skill at managing a husband, and she couldn't help feeling pleased with herself. 2. Later, a coup rocked the imperial court. She and Li Jiyan went their separate ways. She found love again with the powerful Third Prince, and they fell for each other. But when she took out her Manual for Managing a Husband again, the Third Prince's handsome face turned livid. "Who taught you to manage a husband like this?" Yu Ziyu was so frightened she started to cry. Her voice trembling, she said, "This is how I trained Li Jiyan. Why can't you be as obedient as he was...?" Only then did she realize the truth. The only person who could accept her endless games was Li Jiyan, that taciturn fool. [Bonus Scene]: On their wedding night. Li Jiyan's rough hands trembled as he lifted the bride's red veil. He said, a little shyly, "Wife, I can't read, and I don't know how to treat someone tenderly. Just give me your orders, and I'll do as you say." Yu Ziyu lifted her pretty face and stared at the tall, handsome man. She raised her foot and nudged his knee. "According to the rules of the Yu family, on their wedding night, the groom has to kowtow to the bride three times before they can enter the bridal chamber. Are you willing?" Li Jiyan hesitated. "Could I do it once? Three times makes it feel like I'm visiting a grave." Reader's Guide (Things to Note): 1. HE.

She was born to bring misfortune to her husbands. Every young man who had been betrothed to her in the past had met an untimely end. By a twist of fate, she was sent to the Prime Minister's residence as a concubine. New to the household, Meng Huaiyi was nervous and timid. She wasn't very clever. She kept her wet nurse's words firmly in mind: "Bringing misfortune to your husband will bring you good fortune. Once you've brought about the Prime Minister's death, you'll rise in the world." She walked on eggshells in the Prime Minister's residence, hoping that one day she'd bring about the death of this treacherous minister. Then she could leave the residence and make something of herself. 2. As the youngest prime minister in the realm, Cui Jingcheng held the highest office, wielded ruthless methods, and had enemies everywhere. The officials were furious with him, but dared not speak up. One day, a beautiful young woman was sent to his residence. The steward said, "My lord, I hear Meng Huaiyi brings misfortune to her husbands. Surely some scoundrel deliberately sent her here to bring bad luck upon you." Looking at the soft, lovely beauty, Cui Jingcheng refused to believe in such superstitions. His handsome brows drew together as he scoffed, "I would like to see just how much misfortune she can bring." Later on, Cui Jingcheng really did lose his power, get demoted time and again, and fall from grace. In private, Meng Huaiyi wept until her nose turned red. "My lord, please let me go. If this continues, I'll really bring about your death." Cui Jingcheng was gravely injured, yet still stubbornly insisted, "It's all right. Your husband has a tough fate. You can't bring about my death." A friend urged him, "Jingcheng, stop holding that woman. She's far too unlucky for her husbands." Cui Jingcheng glared at him. "She hasn't brought you misfortune, so why stick your nose in?" He pulled the beauty in his arms even closer. Then he soothed her softly, "Don't cry. Bringing misfortune to your husband brings you good fortune. As long as Yiyi is happy, it doesn't matter if your husband gets brought to his death." Theme: Sincerity can move even stone and metal.
