[Legitimate Daughter + Lighthearted Style + Alternate History + Nation and Family + Bold Spirit + Ensemble Cast + Bittersweet Ending]
The Zhang and Zhong families had been close for generations, and Zhang Xianzhi and Zhong Wan had shared each other's feelings since childhood.
That year, the fifteen-year-old youth was brimming with ambition as he left the capital for the frontier to defend his homeland.
And so Zhong Wan waited for him for five years.
The gears of fate had only just begun to turn.
Five years later, Zhang Xianzhi finally saw Zhong Wan again, only to hear her call him “brother-in-law.”
And all he could call her was “sister-in-law.”
…
Zhang Tingyu: “Brother, this is A Wan, your sister-in-law and my wife.”
Zhong Wan: “If you say another word out of line, I'll skin you alive.”
Fang Zhe: “Sister, you'll always be my sister. Whatever you want, I'll get it for you.”
…
After Zhong Wan was forced to marry into the Zhang family, she made up her mind: if she couldn't solve the problem, then she'd have to solve the person who caused it!
From then on, a “storm of blood and fury” swept through the capital, while someone began the long road to winning her back.
Zhang Xianzhi: “Forget me!”
Zhang Tingyu: “Why can't you look at me a little more? Am I not handsome enough?”
Fang Zhe: “So I really am destined to be alone!”
Content warning: The story follows the plot, with no golden finger. This is an angst-heavy novel with a light ensemble cast, and the male lead doesn't appear much. The rites and customs are fictional, so please don't read too much into them.
