Rage warped Li Chen's normally elegant features. How dare they despise his wife for being 'unfeminine'? In his world, she would have been an idol. After investigating the court and seeing the widespread contempt, his heart clenched at the thought of her efforts. 'My wife! How can you let them speak this way? You should defend yourself!' he shouted, jabbing a finger toward her chest. She looked at him, shame in her eyes, and dismissed the servants. This raw side of him was for her alone. 'You... It seems your husband must punish you,' he reprimanded, his hand seizing her chin. Using his height, he dragged her by the wrist toward their bedchamber. At least she was not cruel like others; the fortunate consorts were few, he thought.
