Mistaking Husband for a Weak Scholar Completed

Blurb: [Post-marriage daily sweet story: A civil and military all-rounded vinegar-loving powerful minister mistakes his wife for liking weak scholars, so he keeps pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, enticing his wife to kiss, hug, and cuddle him. Daily, he eats the vinegar of his own weak persona.]

Ye Jintian married a teacher.

Her husband is named Zhang Baishi. He has a refined and elegant appearance, like a clear breeze and bright moon, tall and slender, looking somewhat unable to carry heavy loads or lift with his hands.

In daily life, she wouldn't even let him carry water, fearing she'd wear him out.

*

Perhaps he is too perceptive and saw through her concerns, always seizing opportunities to show off, resulting in dark circles under his eyes the next day.

Sigh, there's really no need for that.

She doesn't mind it.

What she cares more about is that her husband is going to serve as a retainer under the Right Prime Minister Zhang Min. It must be known that Zhang Min followed the previous emperor to conquer the world, decisive in killing, having beheaded countless colleagues.

Rumor has it he is unpredictable in mood, and his subordinates live in constant fear and trepidation.

Her husband is so weak; how could he handle it!

*

Ye Jintian: Husband, I heard the Right Prime Minister has a ghostly face and fangs that can scare a six-year-old child to tears.

Her husband's hand trembled as he held the cup.

Ye Jintian: Husband, the Right Prime Minister beheaded another innocent person today; he is truly terrifying.

Her husband turned pale with fright.

Ye Jintian: Husband, I heard the Right Prime Minister is going to select eighteen beautiful young girls from the common folk to take as concubines.

Her kind-hearted husband, in anger, smashed his beloved inkstone.

*

Returning to the Prime Minister's residence, Zhang Min, with darkened eyes, looked at his subordinates: "Who is ruining my reputation? Come out."

He would beat these brats to death!

*

[Little Theater]

Zhang Min (slamming the table, cup bouncing): What's so good about a weak scholar? Can't carry on shoulders or lift with hands; I really don't understand what my wife likes about him!

Subordinate (cautiously): Prime Minister, this weak scholar... seems to be you?

Zhang Min (glaring, matter-of-factly, tone fierce): Or what? With such a handsome husband like me, how could my wife fancy other crooked melons and cracked dates?

Subordinate (biting lips, shutting up): ...

[At this time, a knock sounds from outside the door, accompanied by a clear "Husband."]

Zhang Min (voice pitching up): Hey, wife, I'm here.

Subordinate (twitching corners of mouth): ...

Ye Jintian: Husband, do you have time? I have something to discuss with you.

Zhang Min (quickly standing, pushing the retainer to the window): Yes, wife, wait a moment; I'll be right there. (Opens window, grabs the person by the collar and tosses them out single-handedly, viciously lowering voice to threaten) Get lost, don't come back for two hours. (Slams window shut, straightens appearance, strides to the study door, opens it, smiles gently, voice pitching up) Sorry to keep you waiting, wife.

Subordinate (rubbing nose hurt by the wind): ...

Fine then.

Pre-received ancient sweet short story: "After Binding a Shared Fate Gu with My Arch-Enemy"

Good news: Arch-enemy got gu-wormed.

Bad news: While gloating, the arch-enemy passed the other share of the gu to me.

[One]

Duke Ding's younger sister Zhang Heng and Gongsun Shuo have been sworn enemies since childhood. In the academy, they compete for rankings; during hunts, they compete for the number of preys. They often quarrel over a single word. Even when the emperor and empress personally intervene to mediate, they can only勉强 get along for a day or half.

She thought that until fulfilling the marriage contract, they would just be a pair of incompatible husband and wife, living separately.

Who would have thought—

On the night of the Bei Wan state's surrender banquet, they went to watch the excitement one after another, but accidentally swallowed gu insects, binding themselves to each other, and had a night of absurdity!!

Even so, they still compete over who is stronger and more ruthless.

[Two]

People's evaluations of Young General Gongsun are extremely polarized. Good ones say he has beautiful features, refreshing laughter, sharp and heroic spirit, brave above the three armies; bad ones say he is like a tiger or wolf, domineering and barbaric, suffocating.

In front of her, he is always the latter type, and after the gu, he intensifies in another direction.

Zhang Heng feels somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable: "Don't you dare fall for me; I won't like a rude general like you."

Gongsun Shuo feels sour inside but says stubbornly: "Likewise."

[Three]

Classmates often headache over mediating their fights, unaware of the intimate matters happening behind their backs.

Until one day—

Two classmates with diarrhea, clutching their stomachs, slowly moving toward the dormitory through the flowers, see their domineering and barbaric Young General Gongsun being smacked on the head, yet pathetically leaning in.

"Am I not good enough? Isn't one of me enough for you? Those performers and foreign guests, do they have half my handsomeness and bravery?"

Under the sunlight, those fierce tiger eyes, squeezed to look like a puppy's, watery and tinged with red, especially pitiful, innocent, and pitiable.

Classmates: "..."

Knowing they have this kind of "fighting" relationship, what were their previous mediations?

Making a fool of themselves? (Death smile)

[Reading Guide]

SC, HE, no big twists, pure sweet story, but male and female leads are quite noisy, quarrel a lot, and male lead is a loyal dog love-brained type, stubborn-mouthed then pathetically coquettish.
