Husband, Xue Duan has been out of date for three months, do you not love me anymore ? TvT

On Shangyuan’s Lantern Festival , a banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Officially, it was in the honor of the monarch and his officials, but in fact, it was to select a princess consort for His Highness the prince Dongbei.

At the banquet, Ying Ying, the daughter of Marquis Cheng’en, bowed down and offered a song, Clouds Over the Rivers Xiao Xiang. At the end, she softly said : “The official’s daughter has no talent ; I’ve made a display of my poor skills”

A man dressed black brocade who sat at the center coldly interrupted her “Since you know you have no talent, then don’t show yourself.”

Everyone turned silent, with no one who dared to refute. The young miss of the Ming family who was sitting at the last seat of the table took a glance from afar, only to feel that His Royal Highness King Dongbei was rude and arrogant to the extreme, really not a kind person.

Later, the bridal chamber was full of candles, the wine was exchanged, and the red candles were shining.

The young miss of the Ming family shivered when helping him undress.

The man suddenly talked, asking her to play the tune Wild Geese Come to the Sand Dune.

She pretended to be courteous and happy, but she was so nervous that she forgot to refuse, so she only tried : “Since I am not talented, then… why… why show myself?”

She raised her eyes to glance at him, but saw a pair of eyes that seemed to refrain from smiling, “You are not untalented, this prince actually thinks, my wife is very beautiful.”

My review at chapter 26:

Cringe. I went into this expecting a funny read but with a smart fl. Idk if I'd say it's a funny but it's light hearted, however, smart fl? Nowhere to be found. This may be because I'm so accustomed to reading these historical novels with a calm and calculative FL that seeing a FL run around and embarrass herself for the ML makes me want to rip my eyes out.

Idk if the author was going for the grumpy×sunshine thing but it's not working out so far.... more>> I feel embarrassed for her rather than finding her behavior endearing. I am also not very interested in their romance anymore BUT I am only on 26 so if I do continue I'll update my review.

Edit: Skipped ahead to chapter 50. They're married now but it seems the jealously arc is about to start. This will be put on hold for now. I love a good romance novel but because of my personality I can't stand novels where the FL is overly obsessed with the man its just not fun to read. Its better if the man is the one obsessed, maybe the ML will eventually be like that but for now this novel isn't my cup of tea. <<less

I really like it, FL is not overpowered, she is just a ancient girl doing her best in life. She is strong in her own way and honest, not the smarthes one but a sensible one. ML on the other hand is the typical "cold outside, warm inside", he has the overpower, the tragic past, the prince title and all that. However, his growth it's what I like, how he began to change when the FL came in the picture, very cynical at the begining, but when he stradted to realize the little changes in his own emotions and actions, he accepted them and continued foward.

[collapse]

In all a very ligh read, not dog drama. The vilians... are not there really. You see know what the FL protagonist knows.

I LOVE this story. The tags were somewhat misleading though, like 'Bickering couple' and 'Cowardly protagonist' so I remove it.

Other than that, this is a pretty good story.

MC is not a genius or super cunning or scheming type, but she's not that s*upid either. From the low rating, I expected a shitty story or something but OMG, I have been lied to.

MC feels like a normal girl instead of an overpowered protagonist that can act 10 moves ahead of other people. The villains are also not that shallow although some... more>> of them do suffer from IQ deficiency, but these villains are not really the focus of the story so I think it's acceptable.

For ML, I think he is nice. Together with MC, rather than 'bickering couple', I feel like they are more of harmonious couple.

The overall plotline is okay and the characters development are also very good.

Just give it a try and judge the story for yourself as I really really don't think the ratings this novel receive is truly justified.

p.s. One thing to note, MC is a pure ancient girl, not some modern girl transmigrated into novel or history nor did she ever reborn or anything. So people really shouldn't put some unreasonable expectations on MC. Like just because she doesn't want to be involved in politics doesn't mean she's cowardly. <<less
