* The heroine's version:

Qi Siyu's father went into the mountains to gather medicinal herbs and came back with a handsome, valiant man who had lost his memory.

The man married her in a ceremony before Heaven and Earth, became her husband and the father of the child in her womb, then vanished without a trace in a single night.

She had no choice but to tell people that he had died away from home and that she was now a widow.

Then disaster struck her family, and she had no choice but to go to the capital to seek refuge with her aunt. With her aunt's help, she opened a pastry shop.

Her supposedly dead husband suddenly turned out to be the heir of the Marquis of Yiyong, and came to the shop to ask her to go home with him.

Fine. The heartless bastard was at least handsome, capable, rich, and high-status. She'd treat him as a jade dildo and a purse, pack her things, and return to the marquis's residence.

* The hero's version:

Jiang Shiyan was caught up in a struggle for the throne at court. While pursuing his enemy, he fell off a cliff. When he woke up, he remembered only his childhood, growing up in the mountains.

The old man's family who saved him had a beautiful, fiery-tempered young woman. He couldn't resist falling in love with her, and naturally became a live-in son-in-law.

Later, his family found him and he regained his memories. He didn't want to drag the peasant girl into his mess, but she showed up right under his nose with their child.

What could he do? Beg shamelessly until she'd take him back.

She didn't follow the three obediences, was rather haphazard about the four virtues, and hated being praised as virtuous. None of that mattered.

But it was absolutely unacceptable for her to stop getting jealous, only smile at him when she wanted money, and kick him out of bed when she was in a bad mood!

"A thousand virtuous wives can't compare to my wife's candid charm and heartfelt passion."

1. 1v1, a sweet story about winning back his wife after marriage.

2. Neither reborn nor transmigrated, and no golden finger.

3. The heroine is fiery-tempered throughout. The hero has his reasons for how he acts early on.

* Upcoming novel: Joyful Ballad is in the works and will launch on a day to be announced. If you're interested, please stop by and add it to your favorites!

Su Qingrou had lived with her maternal grandparents in Lingnan since her mother's death. When it was time for her to marry, she returned to the capital and, by a twist of fate, spent a night with Chu Yichun, the capital's most handsome man and the Prince Regent. She had no choice but to marry him.

They said he was sinister and cold-blooded, and that all his tender feelings belonged to his cousin, the one true love who had married someone else. He and Su Qingrou's father, Prime Minister Su, were also famously at odds.

The capital's noble families were privately betting on when she'd end up crying and begging for a divorce.

What they didn't know was that she was no pushover either!

Ever since they married, the Prince Regent and his wife's domestic strife had regularly made the capital's tabloids.

Less than half a year later, the Prince Regent appeared in court with a bloody scratch on his neck, claiming he'd run into a tree by mistake in the thick fog. A few days after that, Su Qingrou attended her grandmother's birthday banquet in a veil, saying she'd accidentally burned her mouth on hot soup.

And so the tabloids kept writing: Cold-faced Prince Regent marries a domineering shrew. Husband and wife brawl. Who's to blame?

Lying in Chu Yi's arms, Su Qingrou grumbled, "You ran into my golden hairpin and scratched yourself. I already accepted my punishment, and you ate all my lipstick, yet you still call me a shrew..."

A few things to know before reading:

1. 1v1, a sweet story about falling in love after an arranged marriage.

2. A fluffy, no-brainer sweet romance. Don't nitpick the historical details.

3. The title comes from a Song dynasty poem.

Theme: Be yourself. You don't have to live up to a perfect image.
