Locking Up the Spring Night

In her previous life, Su Qingyu had been married for three years without ever consummating the marriage. Then her cousin suddenly appeared in front of her with a child, and only then did she realize that the man was not impotent—it was only when he was with her that he could not perform.

Her cousin peeled off her face and took her place as the legitimate daughter of the Hou manor and the madam in charge of the Shen family. After being reborn to the day the two families were discussing the marriage, at Shen Third Master’s funeral, Su Qingyu brought people to catch the adultery and broke off the engagement on the spot.

Old Madam Shen: Qingyu, Master Cien said that if you marry into the Shen family, you can resolve the misfortune between our two families.

Su Qingyu: Is it enough as long as I marry into the Shen family? Then I’ll marry Shen Third Master, keep faith while he is alive, and be buried with him after death.

Everyone in the capital waited to see Su Qingyu make a fool of herself, to see what would happen when she married a dead man. Only Su Qingyu was secretly laughing. What could be better than marrying a dead man? She wouldn’t have to serve a mother-in-law or attend to a husband.

Until Shen Third Master suddenly returned to the capital and pinned Su Qingyu in a corner.

"I hear you’ve been in love with me for a long time?"

Su Qingyu shrank her neck. "Is it still too late to break off the engagement now?"

Shen Third Master: "Too late."

Everyone waiting to see Shen Third Master break off the engagement and remarry was suddenly shocked to discover that this youngest Grand Secretary in the cabinet, Lord Shen, was actually henpecked.

After marriage, Su Qingyu only wanted to treat her husband with courteous respect and be a qualified Third Madam of the Shen family. She had not expected Shen Third Master to be cold on the outside but flirtatious on the inside.

Courteous respect? Impossible. They could only cling to each other day after day.
