Lazy, easygoing mistress x carefree, spoiled husband
On the day Qiong Ju got married, she fell asleep three times in the bridal sedan. Before her veil was even fully lifted, she was already leaning on Shen Muyun's shoulder and yawning.
Everyone in the capital said the girl was unbelievably lazy, and that whoever married her would be doomed.
But Shen Muyun was hopelessly in love with her laid-back ways.
On their wedding night, when Yu Niang was so sleepy that her hairpin was crooked, he waited until she had settled in, then spent the night in his study.
When Yu Niang wasn't in a hurry to have children, he waited for her to change her mind.
When Yu Niang didn't want to give him her heart, he waited for her to slowly... take one step at a time toward him.
After dinner one day, the man brought out that wooden box again.
Qiong Ju knew what was inside: a portrait of her when she was pregnant, mementos of the children's first steps, and, at the very bottom, their marriage contract, its brocade faded with age.
He grinned like a mouse that had stolen some oil as he looked through it. She snatched the box away and tried to tear it up, but Shen Muyun pulled her and the box into his arms.
"Don't! When we're old, we can sit in the sun and look through all this together. Wouldn't that be lovely?"
The osmanthus bloomed again outside the window, and petals fell onto her freshly washed hair.
Somehow, living this lazy, unhurried life, they had made it wonderfully comfortable.
