1.
After her father and elder brother die, the Fifth Young Lady, the legitimate daughter of the family, gradually loses the Marquis's household's regard. Her second uncle cares only for fame and fortune, her second aunt controls the household's power, her grandmother is biased, her Fourth Sister steals her marriage match, and her male cousin is useless...
After returning from mourning and recovering from illness, the Fifth Young Lady is forced to marry the notorious Crown Prince.
To her surprise, once she enters the Eastern Palace, her mother-in-law pressures her to hurry up and produce an heir.
The Fifth Young Lady comforts her helpless mother. "It's only a marriage. Your daughter can live well in the palace, too."
2.
The Crown Prince is ill-tempered, aloof, gloomy, and difficult to read. He has had a habit of refusing to communicate with the court officials since childhood, and is often impeached for failing to act like a proper heir. Even the learned Hanlin Academician, who can debate a hundred scholars at once, can't do anything about him.
The Fifth Young Lady first had relations with him at the Princess's residence. Drugged, she woke in the Crown Prince's bedchamber and was inexplicably violated by him. At the time, she was the Third Prince's fiancée, while he was the Crown Prince.
A man like the Crown Prince would never protect her in the cannibalistic imperial palace, not even after she remarried him.
She could only proceed with caution, serve her mother-in-law above and manage the household below, and do her duty.
3.
During a trip to Jiangnan, the Fifth Young Lady follows the Crown Prince south to Suzhou. Friction and resentment are inevitable between newlyweds.
The Fifth Young Lady has heard the cruelest words in the world from the Crown Prince:
- "You don't look that weak to me."
- "Would you rather be charged with deceiving the sovereign or go back and manage the inner household? Choose."
- "I don't need to play fair when dealing with a woman like you."
The Fifth Young Lady's hope that they could treat each other with mutual respect and courtesy grows dimmer and dimmer. Her heart gradually turns cold, and she stops expecting anything from the Crown Prince.

[Reformed playboy with a cuckold fetish x young lady whose body and heart belong to different people]
1.
After returning from the capital, Lu Jiuchong finally accepted his fate and married the wife his parents had chosen for him.
He felt he would never be able to pursue his ambitions.
He felt his parents were always telling him to produce an heir first, then look to distant horizons.
He felt like a numb tool for continuing the family line.
But everything changed on the night of his wedding to Jiang Heyi.
That night, the delicate young bride sobbed into his ear, calling another man's name all night long, and he endured every bit of it.
2.
Jiang Heyi was the youngest daughter of Minister Jiang. The Jiang family had owed the Lu family a favor for years, so to repay it, Jiang Heyi was sent to the Lu family to marry their playboy son, Lu Jiuchong.
Before her wedding, Jiang Heyi's mother told her to treat her husband with mutual respect and courtesy, and never say anything inappropriate.
For the sake of both families' reputations, Jiang Heyi had no choice but to put away her admiration for Brother Yi and obediently marry Lu Jiuchong.
After they married, however, Jiang Heyi felt that Lu Jiuchong looked at her strangely.
She thought he was about to criticize her, but he never did anything.
Her mother-in-law hinted that now she was married into the family, she shouldn't hold Lu Jiuchong's past as a playboy against him.
Jiang Heyi raised three fingers and swore, "Mother, don't worry. I fell in love with Jiuchong at first sight, and I'll be devoted to him forever. I'll build a good life with him."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a probing gaze from behind.
3.
Nobody knew that Lu Jiuchong, the Lu family's playboy, had a strange fetish.
He could watch his wife moan another man's name in a voice that was both sweet and breathy, and it only made him more excited.
He watched his wife sneak glances at the man she loved at a banquet, then come home and be sweet to him, touching his chest and drunkenly saying, "Brother Yi, your chest is so firm."
Lu Jiuchong: "Other parts of me are pretty firm, too."
The young lady sprawled on top of him and giggled foolishly. "Brother Yi, I'm so happy I married you..."

After reading it for so long, this chapter is really good and it finally reflects the character of the heroine.
It's a pity to put this scale in JJ
You can't even find out a single person, so why are you still acting like the prince or the prince's secret guard?
As I read this prince, I became more and more irritable and crazy. I felt like I was getting angry anytime and anywhere.
Wow wow wow, this prince is a bit too much [angry][angry][angry][angry]
Is there any foreshadowing for why so much ink is spent on the kitchen?
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking (???)
