Everyone said Song Jin had married a wonderful husband. He was handsome and dignified, always so proper, and had even traveled a thousand miles from the capital to find her.
Whenever Song Jin heard people say this while out shopping, she would think that her husband was wonderful, all right, just far too stiff.
She and her husband had shared a bed for days, yet she hadn't even touched the tip of one of his fingers.
Apart from that, Song Jin was quite satisfied with this marriage. It was just that...
She stopped in her tracks and turned around, her arm hooked through the handle of her vegetable basket.
Huh?
That young man has a really nice figure.
What a waist. Just one more look.
--
Xie Qiao of the Xie clan, eldest legitimate son of the Marquis of Jing'an, and the Crown Prince's tutor.
To repay Song Feng for saving his life, he traveled to Chongzhou to marry Song Jin, Song Feng's younger sister. He had assumed she was nothing but a country girl. How could she possibly manage the Marquis of Jing'an's household?
But he hadn't expected Song Jin to be so obedient and clever, and so proper that she blushed just watching other people hold hands.
Gradually, his opinion changed.
He thought that if he trained her a little more, she would become a suitable mistress of the household once they returned to the capital.
One day, the two of them lay beneath the newly purchased blue gauze canopy embroidered with mandarin ducks.
All was quiet, but Xie Qiao clearly heard his well-behaved wife's thoughts:
[What a shame about that illustrated sex manual I just burned in the kitchen...]
Xie Qiao, eyes wide with shock: No matter. I'll teach her carefully.
Later.
[That young man on the street today had such a nice waist!]
Xie Qiao, gritting his teeth: No matter. She's still young, she just hasn't seen anything better.
And finally.
[Brother Wang said today that Xie Qiao is Xie Qiao, the eldest legitimate son of the Xie family, and not the man my brother arranged for me to marry. But that's all right. I trust my husband. He surely didn't lie to me on purpose!]
Xie Qiao's lips curved, and warmth filled his heart.
But before he could find a chance to explain, Song Jin left behind a divorce letter and disappeared!
Not only that, she burned the mandarin-duck canopy where they had shared so many loving nights to ashes!
Song Jin, you truly are a little liar who knows how to put on an act!
He stared at the divorce letter, then tossed it into the brazier.
Xie Qiao, smiling faintly: No matter. I'll bring her back, then teach her properly.
That very night, before Song Jin had gotten far, she was caught and hauled back into the carriage!
Xie Qiao calmly wrapped an arm around Song Jin's waist, his expression dangerous. "How can you be so obedient and still deceive me, my lady?"
Song Jin: Help! She hadn't deceived him at all. She was very well-behaved!
☆ A stiff, powerful official who repays a life-saving favor after being gravely wounded
☆ A cheerful little cook, obedient on the outside but with a mind that races to the gutter
Reader's Guide:
1. Both leads are virgins, and there is an eight-year age gap between them.

The following is the upcoming novel, After Marrying the Aloof Top Graduate in a Substitute Wedding. Please show it some love and add it to your favorites.
Shen Yuan knew she had stolen this marriage, so even being loved by her husband didn't feel quite right.
She was only a maid who swept and cleaned at the Zheng residence. When the family's second young lady ran away from her wedding, Shen Yuan took her place and married into the marquis's household.
After the wedding, she lived in constant fear, afraid someone would discover who she really was.
Fortunately, the young lady she had replaced had a bad reputation, so everyone in the marquis's household kept their distance. Her husband was also too busy to get close to her.
For two years, everything went smoothly, with just one unexpected complication.
She fell in love with her husband, Jiang Yan.
Luckily, she hid it well, and no one found out.
Until one day, the second young lady returned home and exposed her feelings.
Later, her mother-in-law told her that her very existence was blocking her husband's path, and ordered her to request a divorce.
Only then did she realize that the feelings she had cherished were nothing but stolen, wishful happiness.

Jiang Yan knew his wife had a terrible reputation. She had originally been engaged to his legitimate elder brother, but because his stepmother had fiercely opposed the match, he had been made to fulfill the engagement instead.
Fortunately, for the two years since their wedding, she had behaved herself. She even seemed to avoid him, as if she were hiding a secret.
It was only when she was killed that he learned his wife's name should have been Shen Yuan.
He had thought that was her biggest secret. But when they met again years later, he saw the pair of children in her arms who looked so much like him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The way she kept avoiding him seemed strangely familiar.
She must have another secret.
