Type: Chinese Novel

Chapters: 108
Descriptions:
Everyone in the City of Jing thinks that bestowment of marriage between Xian Junwang and the daughter of the Yi'an Marquis House is to insert a fresh flower into manure.
Xian Junwang was that fresh flower and the di daughter of Yi'an Marquis House was that manure that was not liked.
It is said that what is heard is false, seeing is believing. Who knows what the truth really is?
Thoughts:
One of my favorites!
Compared to the protagonists in How To Be A Virtuous Wife, these two are more straightforward in their approach and a bit more comedic as well. Both the political and romance aspect were done well. I prefer their relationship over the other (this ML is also way better cough*)
I like the way ML decided to respect his wife before even seeing her face, especially since no one knew what she looked like (except family). So ugly or pretty, he'll respect her. I respect that.
Man also has a hair fetish!٩( ಡ∀ಡ)۶
Anyways, they communicate, which I really appreciate!
Two of my favorite scenes was when FL defended ML against his bitch of a sister, pretending to be a femme fatale and ML going along with her act. The other was when FL acted as if an assassin attacked her to cover up the fact that a prisoner broke out of ML's dungeon.
Most characters here are oscar-worthy actors, it's hilarious!
And gosh, the ending realization was dumbfounding! It made me think why I didn't notice the clues (like why am I so dumb smh.)
