Sweet Consort Jiujiu

He was the ruthless, cold-blooded Ninth Prince of Bei Chen, Bei Chen Yue, a man who never hesitated to kill.

After he was framed and left on the brink of death, his grandfather appeared in a dream to the emperor and told him that if Mu Jiujiu, the youngest daughter of the wealthiest merchant family in Jiangnan, married the Ninth Prince to bring him good fortune, he would wake up at once.

But when he did wake, he was thoroughly opposed to the marriage. “Can you embroider? Play the zither? Play chess? Ha! You can’t do any of those things, and you still think you can marry into my Prince Yue’s household? Send her to the side courtyard!”

A month later:

“My lady, look, I embroidered these mandarin ducks for you...”

“Would you like me to play you a tune, ‘The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate’?”

“My lady, if I make one more move, you’ll lose. Would you like to take it back?”

Mu Jiujiu: ...

Help! My husband keeps getting face-slapped every day. What should I do?!
