The Relentless Wife: A Worthy Husband Is Hard to Find

She was a noble marquis's daughter, born to a life of privilege, yet everyone coveted her and plotted against her.

He was the guard she'd picked up and given the name A Gui. With his simple, single-minded nature, he believed she was the one person he was destined to protect for the rest of his life.

Her grandmother's difficulties, her uncle's greed, and the scheming of a whole pack of awful relatives: An Xiaoxiao felt that after living her life over again, the only thing that had changed was that he was now by her side.

The moment he realized how he felt about her, he began laying his plans one step at a time, calculating carefully, all for the sake of stealing her heart.

Everyone in the capital said he wasn't good enough for her. How could a mere guard become the husband of the most beautiful woman in Dayuan?

When his true identity was revealed, the whole realm was in uproar.

Scene One:

“A Gui, where's my teal shawl?”

Without a word, A Gui quietly took it from the third wardrobe on the left.

“A Gui, where are my embroidered shoes with gold and jade decorations?”

A Gui swiftly found them in the second shoe cabinet on the right.

“A Gui, where's my black pearl necklace?”

A Gui carefully brought it over from the dressing table in her bedroom.

Then one day...

“A Gui! Where's my bellyband?”

Someone completely lost it...

Scene Two:

“A Gui, what do you think of the second young master of the Fang family? He seems decent to me. At least he hasn't taken any concubines so far, so he should be a pretty good match.”

The person blinked, then maliciously said, “Miss, he doesn't have a single woman by his side. Aren't you afraid he prefers men?”

One rival successfully eliminated!

“A Gui, I think Shuhang is pretty good. My father once planned to match us up.”

“Miss, when we went shopping together the other day, didn't you see him picking out jewelry with a tall young lady?”

“Did I?”

“You did!” he said with absolute certainty, smearing another unwanted suitor.

Scene Three:

In the hexagonal pavilion, someone served up a table of delicious delicacies.

An Xiaoxiao stared at them, practically drooling, and was about to dig in when someone came through the door. With a stern expression, he said, “Miss, you've forgotten that your stomach is weak. You really shouldn't eat too much of this.”

So An Xiaoxiao ate the healthful porridge he'd made, while the whole table of delicacies sent by her admirer went into his stomach.

The heroine pretends to be harmless while secretly outsmarting everyone, never realizing that the hero is a wolf in sheep's clothing who intends to devour her whole.
