Su Qingrou had lived with her maternal grandparents in Jiangnan since her mother's death. When she returned to the capital at marriageable age, a twist of fate brought her to spend a night with Chu Yi, the capital's most handsome man and its regent. With no other choice, she married him.
Rumor had it that he was uninterested in women, and that all his tenderness belonged to his cousin, his first love, who had married another man. He was also famously at odds with Su Qingrou's father, Chancellor Su.
The capital's noble families were privately betting on when she'd cry and beg for a divorce.
What they didn't know was that she was no pushover!
Ever since their wedding, the regent and his wife's turbulent relationship had often made the capital's tabloids.
Less than half a year into their marriage, the regent went to court with a blood-red scratch on his neck, claiming he'd accidentally walked into a tree in the thick fog. Just a few days later, Su Qingrou wore a veil to her grandmother's birthday banquet, claiming she'd accidentally burned her mouth on some soup that was too hot.
So the tabloids kept writing: The cold-faced regent marries a shrew! Husband and wife fight fiercely, but who's to blame?
Lying in Chu Yi's arms, Su Qingrou grumbled unhappily, "You were the one who got hurt when you bumped into my golden hairpin. I even accepted my punishment, and you ate all my lip color, yet you still call me a shrew..."
