Xu Chang An, in this life, he could only watch the little man (villain) who had harmed his mother and was being depressed living in the small village. However, he did not expect to suddenly be given a wedding decree from the emperor to make him become the wife (Wangfei) of the first prince, Xiao Qing Yan.
He knew in his heart that this matter was his salvation but to Xiao Qingyan, who has a great prospect, this was a disaster. After the great wedding, he took advantage of his new status to avenge his mother and himself. Xu Chang An was aware of the emperor's intention that time when he was sanctioned a marriage, he all along tried his utmost to support Xiao Qingyan. Until by a lucky coincidence that the imperial government rewarded him, who'd performed great merit.

"Your servant have no other request, please Your Majesty to bestow decree to allow your servant leave His Highness peacefully. Thank Your Majesty's benevolence. Long live the emperor, long live for thousand of years."
My thoughts on the novel :
There is slow romance, angst and in depth historical politics that happens in any imperial palace. You will be frustrated by the ML and MC many a times, because the ML is too domineering and the MC is too timid, although there is a reason why they are both like that, their background shapes their personality.
The male yandere ML is very thoughtful for the MC but he is a tsundere, and doesn't talks about his problems because he thinks MC cannot handle it.
Although I did say their character is frustrating, the whole novel is actually a very down to earth practical novel which isn't simply fantasy. It might frustrate you at times, but there are reasons for everything. I actually loved the whole novel even if I cried in some places hating the ML, but later I got to know why what happened and how.
This novel has dark undertones of narration, since you never know what will happen, but towards the end it was very satisfying and good to read. It had happy ending, so don't worry ;)
