Summary
"I don't understand," says Hak, exasperated. "All your life you’ve had people cooking and sewing for you, so why does it suddenly matter now? And what makes you think I’d be able to help you learn those things?”
It takes every ounce of Yona's self-control to refrain from stomping her foot. "I'm not talking about learning to cook or sew, I'm talking about learning to kiss!" she says, and then claps her hands over her mouth. Too loud.
"Learning...to...kiss?" he echoes. Then the furrow in his brow smooths over. "Sorry, Princess, but I don't have books on kissing. Try the library."
"Books!" She scoffs at him. "Books aren't going to teach me how to kiss."
At last, understanding dawns on Hak’s face, and his eyes widen in shock. "And...I am?"

Summary
Jinshi has always sparkled for others, but Maomao has never been mesmerized by it. It was just another thing she was immune to. Now here he was, not particularly sparkly, just obviously in love, and Maomao felt what she could only describe as being enraptured.
Maomao knew she needed to say thank you, but at this moment she did not trust her tongue with words. She was afraid something rather mushy would come to her if she tried to speak, and she wasn’t ready for that yet. Which felt silly to acknowledge - that she had married this man, but was struggling to love him.
And it was not loving him - Maomao had deduced this now. It had almost nothing to do with Jinshi at all. Her constipation with regards to her own ability to love had nothing to do with her commitment to him, either. She cared for and admired him deeply, more than she had anyone else, except maybe Loumen. Maomao hopes someday she is able to admit that to him, but she is still accepting that it is even safe to admit to herself.
or
they say the first year of marriage is the hardest - this is Maomao's.
