After Humiliating the Aloof Husband

Marrying Shen Qingchen was the most advantageous deal Jiang Hexue ever made. As a contract husband, he had a myriad of benefits:

Firstly, his noble status, as Prince Heng'an, second only to one person and above all others. Secondly, his residence was serene and he was self-disciplined; before she arrived, there wasn't a single female in the entire manor.

Thirdly, his appearance was ethereal, noble, and aloof like an immortal descended to earth, as elegant and pure as fresh snow on plum blossoms, a feast for the eyes and absolutely ravishing.

However, her husband had only one flaw—he was too chaste! Jiang Hexue's tongue blistered from sweet talk, and all her supposedly superb seductive tricks were exhausted, yet she couldn't make him play along even once.

All she got in return was, "If there's no love, how can there be intimacy?" Jiang Hexue understood. He didn't love her.

For Shen Qingchen, falling in love with Jiang Hexue was effortless. But she only wanted to toy with him, treating him as a favored actor who used his beauty to serve her.

Proud and self-contained as he was, he couldn't accept such a frivolous affection. Yet, at the grand year-end feast, he saw Jiang Hexue give a love token to someone else.

And when she fell into a scoundrel's trap, she tearfully embraced him: "If my husband won't help me, I'll go find him..."

With his pride utterly shattered, he clutched her waist, realizing for the first time his base and unbearable possessiveness. Be it husband or favored actor, he would accept it all.

Mini-theater 1:

A new Western Regions tavern opened in the capital. Jiang Hexue was eagerly heading there to listen to the new musician play the guqin, but no sooner had she stepped inside than Shen Qingchen dragged her back to the manor.

"I've seen and learned all the new qin performer's tricks."

"If that's what you like, I can be the same."

Jiang Hexue only saw him, his pale chest adorned with intricate golden chains and glittering pearls and jade, holding the scorched-tail guqin she had never heard him play.

In her astonished gaze, Shen Qingchen pleaded hoarsely, "Please, allow me to please you."

Mini-theater 2:

Her childhood sweethearts, her former fiancé, left the capital, and Jiang Hexue saw him off. As an arrow broke through the air, she turned back in astonishment to see Shen Qingchen.

Rain poured down, soaking him completely, his cold eyes bloodshot. He was in a state of unprecedented disarray and despair.

That night, in the dim lamplight, the young man tilted his wine cup slightly, letting the dark red liquor flow slowly over his bare chest and abdomen.

His pride shattered, he begged hoarsely, "Try me, master."

Sweet pastry eating guide:

1. 1v1, both pure and first loves. The male lead is highly chaste, with a prominent Adam's apple. The female lead had a former fiancé but felt nothing for him and had no intimate interactions. Those with high requirements should proceed with caution. The love token was a misunderstanding.

2. Sweet, sour, and very, very sweet.

3. Small surprises drop occasionally. No need to inform about dropping the novel (please), thank you for your companionship (^v^)
