[An unstoppable power couple]
Marriage first, love later | A carefree rogue at first who later schemes his way into pursuing his wife | Both are Alphas
Clever and resourceful Shen Yunxie x Zhao Guanlan, who plays the pig to eat the tiger
Shen Yunxie had been blind for years. After a huge truck sent her flying into another world, she bound herself to an heterochromia System and regained her sight.
On her wedding night, she gets caught up in a crime of passion and is stabbed in the back, framed, and falsely accused. To prove her innocence, Shen Yunxie uses her heterochromia to turn the situation around and successfully expose the culprit.
The strange looks and extreme remarks of the people around her, along with the culprit's heartfelt words before taking their own life, finally trigger a mechanism that leads Shen Yunxie to a key mission.
System: "Welcome to another world, Host. Please repair this world's rules, investigate the root of its corruption, reform feudal ideology, establish equality between men and women, and work to stabilize society as soon as possible."
Her heterochromia also needs a battery to keep it running. Fine, she can bind one. It's just a battery.
As soon as Zhao Guanlan appears, the System immediately announces that a "battery" has been bound automatically.
Shen Yunxie: "What? Did I hear that right?"
Her husband, who has a disability and cannot care for himself, is the "battery" for her heterochromia?
System: "Don't panic, Host. There's a surprise in store if you marry him!"
Baby girls abducted, wives and children dying unjustly, wronged souls bringing complaints...
With her heterochromia System, Shen Yunxie solves one case after another, while Zhao Guanlan pushes her wheelchair from behind, panting as he tries to keep up.
"My dear, this case is dangerous. I'll protect you."
Shen Yunxie stops two li away and watches him take an entire hour to get over a single threshold.
Later, whether she's being thrown out of the house or arrested and forced into servitude, Shen Yunxie never gives up Zhao Guanlan, even when she gives up all the gold and treasure.
Zhao Guanlan wipes away his tears. "Waaah, my wife loves me so much!"
To protect Shen Yunxie, Zhao Guanlan transforms, revealing himself as a mysterious royal prince from a neighboring country, famed throughout the land. He gives Shen Yunxie whatever she wants, but she clenches her fist and slaps his handsome face.
She scolds him, "If you had such powerful backing, you should have used it from the start! The mission would already be complete!"
Zhao Guanlan covers his face. "...My dear, you've wronged me. I told you I'd protect you."
The System is stunned. "Uh... didn't I say there'd be a surprise if you married him?"
Does that still count?
[Reading Guide]
1. This is a fictional world, so please don't overanalyze the historical details.
2. Both leads are powerful. The heroine is career-focused, while the hero is love-brained. She takes the lead in action; he provides support.
3. Content warning: Both leads are imperfect characters. The story includes depictions of women being treated badly, but they gradually rise up and awaken to their own strength. This is not about abusing women, but is part of the story's central theme. Please don't read if that isn't for you.
Theme: Men and women complement each other; neither can do without the other.
