Young Miss Nie Xiangyi of the Yongyi Marquis Estate was a willful, flamboyant, and arrogant character. Despite her beauty and lack of talent, she insisted on marrying His Third Highness Xie Zhi, who was widely known and admired.
This became the talk of the capital, everyone laughing at Nie Xiangyi's wishful thinking. Everyone knew that Xie Zhi was as elegant and noble as an orchid, cold and dignified. Like the distant moon, he was naturally unattainable.
But by a twist of fate, Nie Xiangyi was drugged and could only turn to Xie Zhi for help. The usually ill-tempered and arrogant young miss, her voice soft, could only weakly cling to his neck, her eyes tearful, her voice choked with sobs. "Xie Zhi, please help me..."
Later, the Emperor granted a marriage, sealing their union. After marriage, even though he was indifferent and distant, Nie Xiangyi remained full of ardent passion for him. All because of a fleeting heart flutter she experienced when she first saw him during the Lantern Festival in her youth.
By chance, Nie Xiangyi overheard him talking about her with someone else. Xie Zhi's voice was cold and impatient, "I've disliked her for a long time." It was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head.
She thought he was just naturally cold, but she never imagined he simply disliked her. Nie Xiangyi's eyes welled up with tears in anger, and a letter of divorce was delivered to Xie Zhi's hands.
Xie Zhi was taught from a young age how to be a good prince. He was disciplined and self-controlled. Until Nie Xiangyi rudely barged into his sight, making herself annoying. He disliked her imperious indulgence, disliked her reckless defiance.
He disliked her capriciousness. He disliked her liking the Wang family's young master today and taking a fancy to the Pei family's son tomorrow. He disliked her even more when she was drugged that day, causing his breathing to become erratic, tearing apart his facade of false indifference.
Until a letter of divorce was delivered to him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for him, celebrating that he was finally free from this imperious entanglement. Who would have thought that Xie Zhi, who was always cold and self-controlled, would block Nie Xiangyi's path out of the capital, his eyes dark and inscrutable, his voice as cold as ice.
"Where do you think you're going?" Since you provoked me first, how can I allow you to leave so easily?
The following is the synopsis for the next novel, "The Cold and Aloof Husband I Forcibly Married is a Maniac": Liu Lingyue used some less than honorable means to successfully marry Pei Yuhuai. Pei Yuhuai was the only son of the Regent, as bright as the moon and as cold as snow.
Among the noble young masters in the capital, he was the most distinguished and unattainable. She didn't like Pei Yuhuai initially. She plotted to marry him simply because she wanted to snatch away something her legitimate older sister liked.
Liu Lingyue had many things snatched away by her legitimate older sister. Her older sister was favored, getting whatever she desired. In contrast to her older sister, Liu Lingyue was just a murky, dull fish eye, unnoticed by anyone.
Even her only outstanding feature, her appearance, was judged by the world as lacking in dignity, overly enchanting yet devoid of spirit, merely a wooden beauty, far inferior to her gentle and generous older sister. Until at a banquet, she saw her older sister blush as she handed a sachet to Pei Yuhuai.
After marrying Pei Yuhuai, the two, lacking affection, were united in name only. Yet she always felt a damp, sticky gaze secretly observing her from the shadows. Only later did she discover that this gaze came from her usually cold and noble husband, Pei Yuhuai.
Small scenes: 1. Liu Lingyue, having seen Pei Yuhuai's true face, wanted to escape. Pei Yuhuai smiled, fastening delicate gold chains around her ankles, his jade-like fingers gently caressing her crimson lips. Intense possessiveness almost overflowed from his scarlet eyes. "A-Yue is not well-behaved. You chose this yourself, how can you escape?"
2. Everyone said Liu Lingyue used clumsy means to scheme and marry the cold and upright Pei Yuhuai. Only Pei Yuhuai himself knew that when Liu Lingyue, blushing, handed him the drugged wine, his eyes deepened as he subtly curved his lips and drank the entire cup.
