After We Married, My Husband Dropped the Act

The new emperor hoped the old and new officials would get along, so he bestowed a marriage between Shen Wan, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and Lu Xian, the legitimate son of a grand academician. Lu Xian, tutor to the crown prince, was a refined and elegant man of extraordinary talent. On their wedding night, Lu Xian lifted Shen Wan's bridal veil and said, “I know this marriage wasn't your choice. From now on, let us treat each other with mutual respect.” He was extremely gentle with her that night, and Shen Wan emerged unscathed, feeling reassured. After they married, she respected her parents-in-law and treated her sisters-in-law kindly, earning a far-reaching reputation for virtue. The whole family was delighted. Half a year passed, until her parents-in-law hinted, “There are no children yet.” Shen Wan understood at once and began selecting respectable young women to bring into the household as concubines for her husband. That night, her husband, the most noble and untainted gentleman in the capital, came home drunk and shoved the door open. Brimming with hostility, he pinned her to the bed. Shen Wan stared at him in shock, thinking she was in for a rough night. But the next moment, her husband bent down and wrapped his arms around her waist. His eyes reddened as he buried his face in the crook of her shoulder and nuzzled her wildly. “What did I do wrong? Have you stopped wanting me, my lady?” “My lady, I can't live without you.” “My lady, I missed you again today.” “My lady, I dreamed about you again last night. It must be because I was left alone in an empty room.” “My lady, my lady, my lady, my lady, my lady, my lady...” Shen Wan: “...” Wait, who is this? Please give her back her aloof, taciturn husband, who never says more than five words to her in a day! - The first time Lu Xian and Shen Wan met was when she was five years old, crying quietly in the Shen family garden. “Why are you crying?” “My life is hard.” “Then marry into my family someday. I'll treat you well!” Everyone knew the emperor had arranged the marriage between their families. No one knew Lu Xian had earned the imperial decree by rendering meritorious service to the emperor.
