The Mute Slave (Female-Dominated World)

Jiang Yan Hui happened upon a caravan. Behind it, a group of slaves wearing bone chains stumbled along, struggling to keep pace.

This was nothing unusual in Lingzhou. What was unusual was that one of the slaves was a handsome man. You didn't find anyone so delicate-looking in a land of wind and sand.

So Jiang Yan Hui bought him, only to discover that he was mute. The wooden tag hanging from his neck was carved with the name A Chou, so that's what she called him.

A Chou was gloomy by nature and couldn't manage even a single endearing expression, no matter how hard he tried. Jiang Yan Hui was contrary by nature, so the more he acted that way, the more she wanted to annoy him.

Until A Chou's wooden pendant accidentally fell into the pond. The usually expressionless man broke down and tried to jump in after it, letting out a hoarse, terrible-sounding wail.

Perhaps Jiang Yan Hui thought a mute's crying was too noisy, or perhaps A Chou looked too pitiful with tears streaming down his face.

She rolled up her trousers and spent the whole afternoon fishing around in the pond. At last, before moonlight covered the earth, Jiang Yan Hui returned the pendant to A Chou.

That night, A Chou, reunited with the pendant he'd thought lost forever, had rosy cheeks and misty eyes. He took the initiative to plant a light kiss on Jiang Yan Hui's cheek, and completely softened the prickly Northern Jiang King.
