My Concubine Is a Stubborn One! Kneeling Hurts My Knees

Marquis-General vs. Female CEO; pure-hearted heroine; brand-new, non-cliché plot. While other novels show concubines forbidden to bear children, here the hero begs her to—he’s terrified she won’t. Sweet, salty, and heart-wrenching by turns, the story keeps your feelings riding every twist.

Yun Wansheng never imagined she would be reborn into ancient times as a mere outside concubine. This body is scrawny, short, plain, and clearly malnourished—seriously, what was the Marquess thinking? What kind of taste does he have to climb into bed with this?

But once the heroine arrives, the ugly duckling transforms into a swan, and that very Marquess comes crawling back.

Mu Xingci notices from the first glance that his concubine is different. Before, she was an under-developed yellow-haired girl; no one would believe she was already seventeen. He almost felt guilty for life—thank goodness she’s of age.

From then on, whether she argues or throws tantrums, he no longer feels annoyance; instead he indulges her, shields her in public, and dotes on her until onlookers burn with envy.

When he assumes she’s finally stopped mentioning marriage, it turns out she simply doesn’t care for the title. Hoping a child will tie her down and make her his honored concubine, he gets a brutal lesson in “rather break than bend”: she decisively ends the pregnancy, driving the Marquess into a mad fury.

Her resolute departure forces the man to confront his true heart. On the eve of his final campaign he deliberately spreads word that he has been wounded “down there,” scaring Prime Minister Tai’s daughter into breaking their engagement—so now the whole realm knows of his supposed “hidden ailment.”

When the heroine hears, she gives him two short words: “You deserved it.”
