He Committed Sins, Then Married Me

Upcoming novel: The Woman Who Won the Heart of the Untouchable. Blurb: In the Yan Dynasty, daughters were often married off to forge political alliances. Men sought virtuous wives, and rarely chose women for their beauty. * Lü Xianzi is the legitimate son of a family with a hundred-year lineage, a man of peerless beauty, unmatched in the world. For the first twenty years of his life, he followed the rules of loyalty and filial piety to the letter. He seemed like an immortal who had plucked the moon from the heavens: lofty, yet devoid of warmth. That is, until the day he married Yang Sanniang, whose family background and character were both unremarkable by the standards of the entire capital. * Yang Sanniang was a concubine's daughter. Her stepmother was unkind, and she had waited at home for two years without anyone asking for her hand. Then she transmigrated into a book, and her temperament became strange. She followed neither convention nor the rules of wifely virtue. As for serving her husband, she gave him a thorough scolding the day after their wedding. As for honoring her in-laws, she never offered them tea or water, and demanded gold whenever she pleased. * When they first met at Jinming Pond, Lü Xianzi knew that Miss Yang was no ordinary woman. After she married into his family, every day was lively, and she won one battle after another. Everyone in the household was as jumpy as a bird startled by the twang of a bow. The Madam smiled, but even her smile could feel like no smile at all. As for him, he left everything to his wife and was surprisingly free of burdens. No one urged him to study, and no one came near him. Life was a hundred times better than it used to be. Everyone told him, "You must have sinned in your past life to marry such a vicious woman." Lü Xianzi stamped his feet in protest. "That's not true. My wife may be suspicious and jealous, domineering and power-hungry, but she's a good wife." Theme: Love transforms both people
