Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

"Lord Lin, please have mercy! I have offended you, my lord. I hope you will forgive my petty offense and not hold it against me." Seeing that the situation was likely to escalate to the point of causing death, Shen Juanxin pleaded for her husband, Shen Congxin.

After hearing the beauty's words, the lecherous Lin Boguang stopped arguing with Shen Congxin and chose to give Shen Juanxin face. However, when he released Long Aotian, he took the opportunity to kick him and spit to the side.

“Juanxin, look at this man, so reckless! So scoundrel! Why do you have to make things so difficult for yourself over that marriage certificate?” Lin Boguang pulled up his pants, which had been half pulled down by Long Aotian, and said earnestly, “Think carefully about what I’m going to tell you. I, Lin Boguang, will never treat you unfairly!”

"I will consider it. Please go back and rest early, Lord Lin."

"Let's go~"

Lin Boguang pushed open the door and left, and the courtyard became quiet again, with only the insects on the treetops still chirping incessantly.

"You stinking woman, you only care because I'm broke, huh? Damn it, when I'm rich, I'll find ten or a hundred women, a hundred times better than you!" Long Aotian lay sprawled on the ground, the strong alcohol making him blurt out all the words that had been bottled up inside him.

"When did I ever complain about you not having money?" Shen Juanxin felt wronged. They say it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. But she, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Shen family, still married this penniless man. Not only did she wash his clothes and cook for him all day, but she also had to do needlework in her spare time to supplement the family income, lest he spend all his money gambling, whoring, and drinking, leaving him with nothing to eat when he came home.

Tears welled in her beautiful eyes as she listened to Long Aotian's unwarranted humiliation. It seemed as if her tears were about to burst forth. Even with all her strength, she was still human; she was, after all, just a child who had lost her parents...

After a while, Shen Juanxin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and came to Long Aotian's side. Afraid that he would catch a cold sleeping in the courtyard all night, she wanted to move him into the house.

"Xin Xin, please don't leave me, okay?" Suddenly, in a daze, Long Aotian subconsciously grabbed her hand and said the name of his first love.

"I've always been here..."

"No, don't leave me, please..." Long Aotian hugged Shen Juanxin tightly, burying his head in her neck, crying bitterly like the boy who couldn't keep her because of money. "I promise you, I will be successful. Please don't leave me, okay? Because you are all I have left. Without you, I'm just a useless piece of trash!"

Long Aotian held Shen Juanxin tightly, crying as he spoke, his words so sincere, as if he would truly die without her…

Can……

Although he called out her own name, the astute Shen Juanxin still felt that the person wasn't her...

Since Shen Congxin rarely communicates with her, let alone says these things, how could she love her so deeply?

But she softened in the end, letting him lean against her and gently stroking his face.

"I will not leave you, I will never leave you."

"we have a deal?"

"Ah."

"it is good."

Why is first love considered the most unforgettable?

Because first love usually happens during the innocent and naive years of youth, at that stage, money, cars, houses, and future prospects don't seem to be that important.

What's important is an incredibly passionate and sincere heart—the passion of youth, a beautiful love without any impurities or ulterior motives.

Long Aotian once had such feelings, but at that time he had accomplished nothing. In the end, his cowardice prevented him from giving that love a satisfactory ending.

So much so that after he began to shine and became a somewhat famous writer, all the women he associated with were like Pinru, those bastards...

This is absolutely outrageous...

The next day.

Long Aotian was awakened by the crowing of roosters. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a very old wooden bed, which was probably even older than his great-great-grandfather.

He had barely moved his bottom out of bed when he realized his whole body ached, as if he were about to fall apart. Then he went to the bronze mirror in the room and discovered that his face was covered in bruises.

That damned Lin Boguang!

"you're awake?"

Because this marriage was not based on mutual affection, Shen Juanxin never addressed Shen Congxin as "husband" in daily life. She usually didn't call him by his name or addressed him as "Lord Shen."

"Yes, you are." Long Aotian's head was still throbbing, a lingering effect of his hangover, but he quickly remembered that the woman in front of him was his wife in this world, "Shen Juanxin."

"Come and eat when you're awake." Shen Juanxin looked at the somewhat eccentric Long Aotian, said nothing more, and silently turned and went to the courtyard.

Long Aotian immediately followed.

In the courtyard, a table of food was laid out, all of it green.

Long Aotian held his rice bowl, staring intently at Shen Juanxin, feeling increasingly pleased with himself the more he looked.

Damn it, this beautiful woman is actually my wife?!

Good heavens, if his subordinate had such a beautiful wife, he would definitely say:

"Madam, you don't want your husband to lose his job, do you?"

cough cough...

Off topic.

"What...what are you looking at?" Shen Juanxin blushed a little under Long Aotian's gaze.

Early in the morning, she felt that Shen Congxin was like a different person, always doing things he had never done before and saying things he had never said before...

"Am I... should I call you wife?" As a modern man from the 21st century, he rarely even calls his wife "wife," let alone "wife," it's just too embarrassing... (sorry, that's just how reserved online novelists are~)

"What's wrong with you today?" Shen Juanxin was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

"Then what should I call you?" Long Aotian asked, somewhat puzzled.

“According to etiquette, now that we have completed the wedding ceremony, I am marrying you, so naturally you should call me ‘wife.’” Although she found it strange, Shen Juanxin patiently answered. However, her face turned completely red as she replied…

"Then what will you call me?"

“Of course… it’s my husband.” Shen Juanxin finished speaking, then immediately added, “What’s wrong with you today? You never used to care about these things…”

"I... never cared before?" Long Aotian felt a little uneasy, but when he thought of Shen Congxin, who indulged in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, and whoring, and whose boss was having an affair with his wife, he had no choice but to believe Shen Juanxin's words.

But soon, Long Aotian came to Shen Juanxin's side, pressed her shoulders, and said with utmost seriousness, "My wife, as long as you don't despise me, from now on I will definitely turn over a new leaf and take you to live a good life!"

What a joke! Judging by this situation, we can't go back to the real world anyway, so we might as well stay here.

Although his official position wasn't high, it was a stable government job with a secure livelihood, and he had such a beautiful wife at home. Why wasn't he content with this simple life? Why did he want to go back to being a beast of burden?!

Thinking this, Long Aotian had already cast aside his boastful words about holding the sun and moon in his hands and plucking stars from the sky, declaring that there was no one like him in the world.

Let whoever wants to hold the sun and moon hold it!

These stars, let whoever wants to pluck them!

In the courtyard, Shen Juanxin, biting her chopsticks, stared blankly at Long Aotian, wondering why he would suddenly say these things.

"You're not willing?" Long Aotian asked anxiously.

“No…” Shen Juanxin lowered her head. “Although I was forced to marry you, I will follow you wherever you go. Now that I have married you, I am naturally willing to live a good life with you.”

"But..." She frowned, looking at Long Aotian with some worry, "Can you really change?"

Looking at his stunningly beautiful wife, Long Aotian secretly vowed that if he made her frown even once more, he would slap himself hard across the face!

I don't care if you're Lin Boguang or Tian Boguang, you all get the hell out of my way! This is my wife! No, my lady~

"Of course, I swear!" Upon seeing this, Long Aotian immediately swore a solemn oath.

But Shen Juanxin quickly covered his mouth, frowning as she said, "Don't make any solemn vows. Even if you can't keep them, I still hope you'll be alright." After saying that, she quickly and silently withdrew her hand, lowered her head, and quietly ate her rice.

Upon hearing this, a strange emotion immediately welled up in Long Aotian's heart.

It's said that women in the past were foolish; even if their husbands were terrible, they would simply say, "A woman follows her husband wherever he goes." But now, after Long Aotian truly experienced that blind loyalty of ancient women, he immediately had a different feeling and vowed that this time he would not let her down!

"By the way, my wife."

"Ok?"

"Have we... um, consummated our marriage?"

"Oh dear, cough cough... What are you saying in broad daylight?" Shen Juanxin looked up, choked by the words, and blushed again. "Hurry up and go to your shift. If you're late, Lin Boguang will probably cause you trouble again."

"A thousand sweet words cannot compare to the blush on a young girl's face. May we both cherish the person in front of us, remain faithful to each other, and grow old together," Long Aotian thought to himself.
