★ Honest, straightforward young wife vs. fake gentlemanly wolf of a husband ★
Her husband was the new top-ranked palace graduate that year, refined and elegant, with the bearing of a handsome nobleman. Sadly, in their two years of marriage, they had always treated each other with polite respect. Even their bedroom intimacies were restrained and bland, happening just once every half month.
Su Qingshu thought that was fine. How many married couples in the world could stay in love for long? Her husband was considerate, kept no concubines, and she had everything she needed. That was enough.
Until one day, Su Qingshu had a dream.
In the dream, her husband lost his refined composure and clung to her every day, showering her with sweet words. He was also extremely passionate in bed, with all kinds of tricks...
The canopy bed was nearly shaken apart by the time she woke in fright. Her little face flushed red as she secretly glanced at the man beside her, who still looked noble and elegant.
Su Qingshu couldn't help feeling disappointed.
She had the dream for three months straight. She tried to please him and tempt him, hoping her husband would be as affectionate with her as he was in the dream. But each time, he merely stared at her for a long while without reacting.
In the end, Su Qingshu gave up.
Her husband had no interest, and she kept having these lewd dreams every day. If this continued, she was afraid she'd lose her mind.
So she gritted her teeth and wrote a divorce agreement herself.

The young lady was the daughter of the Director of the Imperial Academy, dignified and noble, with peerless beauty.
For two years of marriage, Chu Yu had been cautious, afraid that a single crude gesture might displease his wife. Even in bed, he was restrained and controlled, then secretly indulged in delight afterward.
But one day, his wife began blushing and sneaking glances at him, acting boldly and always stirring his heart.
Still, he remembered to restrain himself...
He thought he was doing a good job, but then his wife handed him a divorce agreement.
His hand, concealed in his sleeve, almost crushed his finger bones. His voice trembled as he asked her why.
The young lady lowered her head, biting her lip as she timidly said, "It's not your fault, husband. It's mine. Lately, I've been obsessed with lewd dreams, imagining myself indulging in every pleasure with you. I have no face to show you... I must be ill."
Chu Yu was stunned. After a long moment, he came to his senses and studied the beauty before him, desire surging in his eyes like a rising tide.
He tore up the divorce agreement, picked up the young lady, and strode toward the soft couch behind the screen.
"I have these thoughts about you every day, too."
