[Extremely Thick-Skinned x Incredibly Sensitive]
Chiying is a fake mute.
Other girls get engaged at fourteen or fifteen. Because she couldn't speak, Chiying missed her chance, and by sixteen, no one had even come knocking at the Zhao family's door.
Unexpectedly, fate had a match in store for her.
The Empress was arranging a proper wife for Prince Yu, whose legs were disabled. Her requirements weren't demanding: she had to be well-read, have a respectable appearance, and be quiet.
With a red veil over her head, Chiying somehow ended up married into Prince Yu's household.
She'd heard that Prince Yu was gentle by nature, just not much of a talker.
Chiying was quite pleased with the marriage. Remembering that Prince Yu had a leg disability, she considerately began to remove his outer robe.
Prince Yu, now in only his under-robe, looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "You don't even spare a cripple?"
Chiying froze for a moment, then took paper and a brush from the desk and wrote: Don't say that about yourself.
Prince Yu raised his eyebrows even higher, about to speak, when she continued writing: A person should have self-respect. Don't put yourself down.
Prince Yu: "..."
