Synopsis: The untouchable ice prince slowly goes insane from his wife’s inner monologue until he becomes love-stricken.
Lin Shengshen is the daughter of a newly prominent family, graceful and peerlessly beautiful, with marriage suitors flooding her doorstep.
After marrying her beloved, she devotedly followed him for three years, only to receive a divorce letter in the end, dying alone from illness.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to three years earlier.
Her parents and brothers were all alive, and even her former suitors were still eagerly vying for her attention.
The only catch was that she and Xie Zhizhou were already married.
Lin Shengshen threw away the returned letters and jade pendant, refusing the consummation that had only been brought up long after their wedding.
“So what if we’re married? From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s way.”

Marrying Lin Shengshen had been a last resort.
Xie Zhizhou was the noble young master of a centuries-old prestigious family, aloof and elegant, treating his wife who was constantly lost in lovesick daydreams as merely a matter of routine.
Until one day, he suddenly could hear his wife’s inner thoughts…
On their wedding night, Lin Shengshen tightly clutched the quilt in front of her.
[Does Xie Zhizhou actually think he’s good in bed? Hah.]
Xie Zhizhou coldly flicked his sleeve and left, lost in thought for a long time.
At a banquet in another estate, Lin Shengshen’s eyes wandered.
[Looking around, Young Master Chen is still the best.]
[He looks so strong!]
Xie Zhizhou casually shifted his steps, blocking her view.
At the lantern festival, Xie Zhizhou held Lin Shengshen’s hand as they released a wishing lantern together, watching it drift far away.
[I wish Brother Lingzhou a triumphant return, safe and sound!]
Wen Lingzhou… one of her many admirers before marriage.
Xie Zhizhou tightened his grip, but Lin Shengshen had already pulled her hand away and run off contentedly.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Lin daughter was infatuated with Young Master Xie, and though she got her wish and married into the Xie family, she was not well-treated.
Some even set up a bet in the gambling den, with a thousand taels as the prize, wagering on whether the two would divorce.
The ever-dutiful Young Master Xie personally went to the gambling den and placed a thousand taels.
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, “Betting on divorce?”
To their surprise, Xie Zhizhou’s expression was inscrutable as he firmly stated, “No divorce.”
Everyone was stunned: “?”
