The Third Miss Who Was Sent as a Substitute Bride

The Shen family has three daughters: Shen Wanhua, the legitimate eldest daughter; Shen Shaohua, the third daughter born to a concubine; and Shen Zhenhua, the fourth daughter born to a concubine. Their father, Shen Kuan, wants to curry favor with County Magistrate Zhang Li, so he plans to marry his eldest daughter off as the magistrate’s son’s second wife. When the eldest daughter refuses, the family resorts to threats and enticements to make her younger sister take her place. Shen Shaohua has never had any hopes for love, so she doesn’t care who she marries. But once she enters her new home, her in-laws dote on her and her stepson adores her. Even her usually stoic husband is deeply fond of her!
