It bothered me a lot how the MC pretended not to be married to ML just because in the eyes of others, ML's position was higher than his.

They got married in the countryside, lived together for 5 years (I think it was 5 years) and when the two arrived in the capital, the MC decided that he would raise his position as a scholar, before marrying ML again. He wanted to have a grand wedding. So that the whole capital would know.

That is, his pride spoke louder than his love. He didn't accept that ML had a higher position than him.

I saw someone said they were uncomfortable when they see MC didn't admit that ML is his husband cuz MC cant accept ML's position is higher. Ok here, u misunderstood. What author wrote that kinda shit?? MC can even accept ML is stronger and manlier than him, why can't he accept their differences in status? To begin with, MC was a chaebol in his 1st life, he knows his way with money, status is something he can easily get. MC didn't admit cuz, first, they didn't marry properly back in the village. MC was in coma when they married, there was no ceremony whatsoever. It was called chongxi or chong something, a marriage done to dispel bad luck. Admitting they were married when they haven't done the ceremony properly was degrading toward his partner; ML. People back then put huge importance to such ritual. Second, ML is shuang-er aka ger aka female-ver-man. Her position in society is of course, more vulnerable. Admitting publicly they are married will make people wonder how they married. If people found out he was once reduced as a s*ave even when he had amnesia, he will be seen as dirty by the society, especially since he is a noble. Fyi many people already know they are married, but not the general public, that's why his early pregnancy wasn't questioned. MC also actually was not in a position to admit yknow.. His status is lower. If he admit, it was similar to this situation- you meet an prince in a bar and chatted, and one day you suddenly you said you are friends with the prince, when in fact the prince don't even rmmbr you. MC is letting ML makes the choice to, maybe, change his mind after he regained his memories. But ML is also letting MC do whatever he wanted, and in the end ML decided to declare their relationship after a proper marriage. Well anyways, who wants other people to discuss their messy past? So to the general public, their marriage is one bestowed by the emperor, hence a legitimate and sacred marriage which nobody will question and nobody can get in between.

MC and ML married when they're poor and ML has amnesia then when it was revealed that he is a general's son the power and hierarchy were imbalance especially in the eyes of the ancient. The ML is not just an ordinary person and MC is just a wealthy farmer merchant and a scholar who's attending imperial examination if rumors gets out he could be slander and the position of ML in their house is unstable. If you factor everything it's understandable that they would be low-key, it's not like they really hiding it, it's like an open secret. But they also have to be careful since they have positions now, since to them their first marriage wasn't proper so they have to marry again in front of the city people by the emperor's edict. I think their prior marriage if known to the public they will just treat is as MC as a social climber and will not acknowledge them as a married couple. Ancient people are so intricate with their relationship and it's hard for modern people to understand them.

grandma Su that bit*h of a grandmother just died without seeing her grandson become the empress. She shouldn't have died earlier and see her grandson wedding then die more in envy and anger lol 😂

Gu Qingyao deserve her death lol 😂 she was a jealous woman that even killing her brother just to marry into that scum prince lol then she just have a miserable life and died tragically lol 😂 she really earned it. They're so materialistic and so bad that they end up suffering because they coveted power and wealth. It's a karma for them, even that Su Ruizhen got her share lol because she's too ambitious she also died miserably 😂 she really wanted to climb high but the golden thigh she hold on to was rotten hahaha

Macho general shou × scholarly weak chicken gong.

Their interactions are so adorable. It's good to see how the ML get out of his inferiority complex with the love and support of the MC. The whole story between them are full of fluffs. They are also blessed with 2 buns.

The side cp are also goo, eventhough the love of the gong is based on deception, it's good to see how he changes his approach to the shou to remove the knot he made himself.

The villians are really short lived. They don't have deep scheme, so they are no match to the MC and ML.

The side characters are really good, especially those in Shenjia, it made the first part of the story enjoyable.

it's in the serious part of the story, ML already remembered everything and is confronting his stepmother, then suddenly this, "The second son is not the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son of the son." PFT HAHAHAHA

I want to see more of the babies. Just a snap and they're already 3 months old like whut? And then the people in the village, the emperor's child, more scenes from au, wife for zhou yu

when the girl the original MC had a crush on went after him he refused her without a hitch. No bullshit, flat out no's and more. Even noticing that the ML felt uncomfortable around her since he used to like her (technically not him but you get it).
