The entire capital knew that the influential Grand Secretary, Qin Zhao, who dominated court politics, had married the elder sister who raised him since childhood to repay her kindness, making him a textbook henpecked husband.

Rumor had it that Qin Zhao’s wife was an infamous “jealous pot,” never allowing him to take concubines or visit brothels. It was said that his life at home was a living hell, more torment than joy.

Cao Xi spat out the sunflower seed shell in her mouth and sneered, *What do they know? That clingy man practically wants to meld himself to me every day, and somehow I end up with the title of ‘jealous pot.’*

She hadn’t expected that the little boy she casually picked up would grow into a Grand Secretary—and her husband. From nothing to everything, the two of them stayed by each other’s side for a lifetime, loving each other deeply.
