[Republican Era + Substitute Bride + Household Intrigue + Business Rivalry + Strong Female Lead + Deep, Tormented Romance]
Mo Rong was the illegitimate daughter of her family. When her elder sister, the legitimate daughter, protested her arranged marriage with tears and tantrums, their biased father came up with a plan to substitute Mo Rong for her.
From then on, she took on a new identity and became the family’s legitimate daughter, Lingyi.
She knew the man she was about to marry was gravely ill, so she prepared herself to become a widow.
But she never expected him to be so sick that even his younger brother, Bolo, had to stand in for him at the wedding.
On the way to her new home, she was captivated by Bolo’s knowledge and talent.
He encouraged her to read progressive books, broadened her horizons, and even helped fund her grain business.
As Lingyi spent more time with him, she fell in love.
But the man she was to marry could only be Bolo’s elder brother, Elinbu.
Their love had to remain hidden behind the walls of the family estate, never seeing the light of day.
Only when Elinbu died did sixteen-year-old Lingyi regain her freedom.
But with the country in ruins, what did freedom even mean?
She chose to remain a widow and took over the Tian Zeng Shun trading house from her father.
She proceeded carefully, relying on her intelligence, courage, and skill to survive in troubled times.
Bolo, too, became a young general hardened by countless battles.
Bound by their roles as widowed sister-in-law and younger brother-in-law, their love was beset with hardships.
Where will their lives lead amid the chaos of war?
My level is limited and I can't express it in beautiful and moving words. It's just two words, beautiful.
