Princess Lin Xian of the Great Jing dynasty was married off by her spineless imperial father to a God of War general who seemed completely uninterested in women.
Lin Xian: A little God of War general? I'll win him over in no time!
So, over dinner on the first day, Lin Xian asked the general what he liked.
The God of War general: Don't talk while eating or sleeping.
Lin Xian: ...That's fine. I'll try again.
So, on the second day, Lin Xian embroidered him a purse by hand.
The God of War general: If the princess is short of money, she can ask Steward Li for some. There's no need to hint to me.
Lin Xian: ...No big deal. I'll keep going.
So, on the nth day, Lin Xian pretended to be bedridden and asked him to stay close.
The God of War general: I might catch your illness, so I'll move out for a few days. I'll come back once you're better.
