For three years after marrying into the Cui family, Song Hanzhang devoted herself to serving her parents-in-law and kept the household running smoothly. Then her husband brought home a young woman and said that, to repay a debt of gratitude, he intended to take her as a second wife.
Song Hanzhang, usually gentle and compliant, wrote a divorce agreement and resolved to cut ties with him once and for all.
On the night before their divorce, wanting to part on good terms, Song Hanzhang asked her husband what he wanted to eat. He had been missing for many days and had only just returned. Exhausted, he replied, "Sweet-and-sour spicy prawns, and two jin of pear-blossom wine."
Song Hanzhang's hand froze slightly as she pushed open the door.
Her husband didn't eat seafood, couldn't tolerate even a little spice, and would fall asleep as soon as he drank.
What had come home tonight, a demon or a ghost?

Ever since her husband had undergone a complete transformation, Song Hanzhang had felt both happy and uneasy.
He was no longer taciturn. He liked to tease her, and could talk about both local gossip and the affairs of the court.
Whenever she didn't understand something, he patiently explained it. When she wanted to see more of the world, he took her sightseeing. When she felt stifled by life in the inner quarters, he encouraged her to open a medical clinic and start her own business.
Little by little, the young couple's life grew sweeter and sweeter.
Song Hanzhang didn't care if the thing inside her husband's body was a demon or a ghost, as long as it didn't leave his body.

After an accident forced Cui Shizhi's soul from his body, he ended up possessing his own little dog.
He saw the man who had taken over his body flirting with his wife.
So his wife was interesting, too. She understood romance and was beloved by the people.
Cui Shizhi was furious. After enduring countless hardships, he finally reclaimed his body and was overjoyed.
But his wife handed him a divorce agreement and asked coldly, "Where did my former husband go?"
Cui Shizhi stared at her in shock. "My lady, have you gone mad? I'm Cui Shizhi!"
"You are Cui Shizhi, but you... aren't my husband."

After Dingguo General Pei Chengxuan fell unconscious, he became another man in his dreams.
That man had a gentle wife. She seemed a little slow, but was actually simplehearted and adorable. People were always bullying her, but she stubbornly refused to give in.
At first, he only pretended to play along so he could return to his own body. But before long, he was the one who fell in love.
Just as he was about to confess his feelings and reveal his true identity, he suddenly returned to his own body.
After Pei Chengxuan woke up, he saw a familiar, graceful figure at a banquet, head bowed as she greeted him.
Pei Chengxuan's gaze turned frosty. He forced himself to stay calm as he drank the strong liquor, its burning heat blazing through his insides.
She was his subordinate's wife.
But he was the one who should truly be her husband.
