[Bratty little troublemaker x domineering, fatherly man]
After dumping a noble family's young master for the fifth time, Mu Wanying was banished by her emperor father to get married.
She read the imperial decree over and over. "Huh? Who am I marrying?"
Lu Qingyue, the Chancellor's son.
The young tutor whose medicine she'd switched with ink back in school.
*
Everyone said Princess Mingyi, Mu Wanying, was spoiled rotten and the most pampered flower in the capital.
Meanwhile, the young master of the Chancellor's residence, Lu Qingyue, was refined as jade, dignified, and proper, a model of the noble clans.
They were worlds apart and completely unsuited to each other.
Mu Wanying also thought it was unfair.
She had to spend all day with a stuffy old man, and even their wedding night was stiff and utterly devoid of fun!
What made her even angrier was that in a huge residence like the Chancellor's, they couldn't even assign her one handsome young guard!
*
After their wedding, Mu Wanying began provoking and testing him without end.
One day she'd seek out a young actor to amuse herself; the next she'd be exchanging glances with the newly appointed top scholar.
Lu Qingyue remained calm as still water, but as soon as he returned home, he would carry her to their bedroom and keep at it until she begged sweetly for mercy.
Wrapped in her torn clothes, Mu Wanying rolled around on the bed in fury.
New and old grievances alike: they were enemies for life!
One day, she tried the same trick again. "I heard the Nan Feng House has some handsome young gentlemen. I want to go and have some fun."
Lu Qingyue didn't even look up. "Just say your skin's itching for a spanking."
Mu Wanying gave a coquettish huff, then suddenly had a daring idea.
She climbed straight onto his lap and wound her soft, boneless arms around his neck.
After a long while, she sat up, slightly breathless, a hint of allure still lingering at the corners of her eyes.
"Husband, is this enough now?"
Lu Qingyue glanced coolly at the woman in his arms.
He raised a hand and gripped her delicate chin, forcing her lovely lips to part little by little.
"Not enough."
*
Since childhood, Lu Qingyue had been certain that he would marry a gentle, quiet noblewoman, never a lawless little troublemaker like Mu Wanying who wreaked havoc everywhere she went.
But after tasting the sweetness of that pampered little princess, things spiraled out of control.
