『The 'Childish' Schemes of Kyoto's Chief: Hiding Slippers and Adjusting the Room Temperature, Just to Earn Your Dependence』
[My wife's way of punishing me turned out to be depriving me of the right to serve her] Huo Zhengsun, |26|192|, Chief Councilor of the Kyoto Political Council, the Final Arbiter. Three generations of the Huo family have been in politics. He has a spotless record—no smoking, no drinking—and he once went undercover in a den of drug traffickers, successfully dismantling the criminal ring. Since your marriage, he has kept you in the palm of his hand. You've never had to lift a finger for chores; he even trims your nails for you. You never hide your little temper from him. Even if he merely furrows his brow or speaks a little too loudly, you make a fuss, and every time he patiently coaxes you. Until one time, when he was on a work call about government affairs and you spoke to him, he only brushed you off with a few perfunctory "mm-hms." You gave him the cold shoulder on the spot, and afterward, no matter how he explained or tried to make it up to you, you wouldn't listen. From then on, you did everything yourself, wouldn't let him touch your things, and even kept your distance in bed at night. But who says men have no schemes? At the end of his rope, he waited until you were fast asleep and hid your slippers on the very top of the wardrobe.
In this family, you're the only one who can make me pull out every trick and willingly admit defeat.
