[Sweet romance, married first, love later, airhead x grump, airheaded beauty x irritable prince]

Her father, Song Hong, was away at war and missing, his fate unknown. Her mother, Madam Li, had suddenly fallen gravely ill and passed away. Seeing their vast family estate about to slip away, Song Xingtang dug out a letter her father had sent her mother two years earlier.

Song Xingtang: “The letter says, ‘Why not just have her take in a son-in-law to manage the family assets?’”

Wet nurse: “That was your master's joke to comfort his wife.”

“Father also said that whoever can complete the secret phrase is my destined husband!”

The wet nurse's eyes widened: ??

Song Xingtang lifted her skirt and fluttered into the Buddhist hall like a butterfly. She knelt on the prayer cushion, pressed her palms together, and made a sincere wish. As she prayed, she muttered:

“May the heavens and earth hear me, may the gods and ancestors answer! Please grant me a husband who can complete the second half of the verse!”

“The first line is, ‘Just because I saw you once.’”

“The second line is, ‘I think of you morning and night.’” *

Her voice rang out so loudly that it echoed repeatedly through the empty Buddhist hall. Worried that Buddha might forget her prayer, she recited it three times.

The wet nurse: “...” Those were clearly the love poems her master had written to his wife!

Behind the towering Buddha statue, a blood-soaked man slowly opened his eyes. He pressed a hand to his steadily bleeding wound, unable to believe what he was hearing.

That could work?

Could a man really debase himself enough to become a son-in-law because of a poem?

Shen Zhaoyu became famous at a young age. He could recite at three, write poetry at five, and was made a prince at fifteen, becoming renowned throughout the capital. He had held a high position and drawn everyone's attention from childhood. He was as refined as jade, yet cold and unfeeling. He kept away from women and focused solely on his grand ambitions.

One day, he fell into trouble in Yuezhou. The region was prosperous and full of all kinds of people, making it a good place to hide and recover from his injuries.

His subordinate suggested, “The enemy is in the open, while we are in the shadows. Your Highness should choose a hidden identity, ideally one that no one would expect, to make sure you remain safe.”

Unexpected, was it...

The face of the woman in the Buddhist hall suddenly came to mind, and Shen Zhaoyu's expression fell.

[Bonus Scene]

As the eastern sky began to brighten, Shen Zhaoyu finally finished a day's work.

He closed the Song family's account book and took out the secret letter his subordinate had just delivered. With dark circles under his eyes, he thought of the woman sleeping soundly, and anger rose in his heart.

Worn out after nearly collapsing in his role as a househusband, Shen Zhaoyu returned to his room and climbed into bed, closing his eyes in peace.

The woman beside him suddenly moved closer.

She breathed in his pleasant scent and wriggled into his arms like a little animal. In her sleep, she kissed his neck twice with a soft “mwah, mwah,” and murmured his name:

“Yuyu works so hard...”

“I like you best... Have some candy...”

As she mumbled, she edged closer to his mouth.

Shen Zhaoyu: “...”

He sighed and pulled her close.

Never mind. It's just a little tiring. I'll make do. It's not as if I can divorce her.

A carefree, airheaded beauty with dull senses x a pure-hearted prince who keeps seesawing between being a capable househusband and an irritable villain

Song Xingtang x Shen Zhaoyu (Zhao Yu)

[Reading Guide] [Please be sure to read]

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced. One-on-one, married first, love later, lighthearted and funny, slice-of-life.

2. The heroine is an airheaded beauty, the kind who could study her hardest and still fail at school. She's not naturally stupid; she suffered a head injury, so she can't learn to manage the family estate and isn't clever or calculating. She's innocent and easy to fool. Don't read this if you have high expectations for the heroine. You can insult the author and the male lead, but if you insult the heroine, the author will fight you!!!

3. The male lead holds himself to extremely high standards and takes his chastity very seriously. He's demanding of others and even more demanding of himself.

4. Please leave friendly comments and help create a harmonious online community. Thanks for stopping by, and may you be happy every day =3=

5. Also, there are bonus scenes in the author's notes, so I recommend turning them on.

*Note: “Just because I saw you once, I think of you morning and night.” From “Song of an Ancient Longing, Part Two.”

Blurb Break

[Ongoing novel, updates in progress]

Training My Husband, the Beautiful Substitute Bride (Reborn). A battle god with eight-pack abs x a delicate, soft, airheaded beauty, a dramatic size difference, married first, love later, no misunderstandings or tortured romance, a sweet little story.

Blurb:

The Bai family had a concubine-born daughter with skin as white as snow, a lovely face, and a body as delicate as jade and ice. Because of her seductive beauty, she could never become the principal wife of a prominent family. Many wealthy playboys wanted to take her as a concubine.

She died with resentment, then was reborn and returned to a time when things could still be changed.

His Highness Prince Ning guarded the borderlands and had won many military honors. After he was gravely wounded, he was carried back to the capital, where people said he was beyond saving.

The emperor arranged for a Bai family daughter to marry Prince Ning to bring him good fortune. Her elder sister disliked that he was on the verge of death and had lost his power, so Bai Wan voluntarily stepped into the bridal sedan to take her place.

On their wedding night, beneath the red wedding curtains.

The bride had a slender waist, dark brows, red lips, and breathtaking beauty. She was a rare beauty. The groom...

The groom was still breathing.

The burly man lay motionless on the bed.

Bai Wan held a damp cloth, at a loss. They had told her to wipe Prince Ning down, but he was so big. Where should she even start?

She tried to push him once. He wouldn't budge.

She tried a second time. He was dead weight.

Bai Wan took a deep breath, planted one foot behind the man's waist, braced both hands against his shoulders, and used every last bit of her strength. At last, she turned him over.

With a bang, the man's head hit the wall.

He seemed to fall into an even deeper sleep.

Bai Wan: ∠( °口°)/ I'm doomed!!

To save her life, she clung to this golden ticket of a man who had won in her previous life, and devoted herself to caring for him day and night.

At last, Prince Ning woke up.

His eyes were deep and startlingly bright, reflecting the woman's seductive face.

So it was her. Every day, she squeezed his chest and felt his body, and at night she was always leaning beside his ear, brainwashing him with, “See how well I'm taking care of you?”

Well? He had two lumps on his head. And she called that taking good care of him?

Xie Qingchuan sneered inwardly. He grabbed the hand still wandering over his body, clamped his fingers around her delicate wrists, and yanked her toward him in anger.

Bai Wan lost her balance and fell hard against his firm chest, forced to look up.

She met the man's deep, sharp black eyes and blinked in confusion.

Theme: Keep an innocent heart, no matter when
