After a Lightning Marriage, a Peony Blossom Spirit Is Doted on in the 1970S

【Period story + alternate setting + marriage first, love later + raising kids】 Tian Yanyan is strikingly beautiful, and thinks she can rely on her looks to get away with acting spoiled. But when her mother and stepfather have a son of their own, they decide she’s no longer useful and kick her out. Tian Yanyan has no choice but to seek refuge with her father. As luck would have it, less than three days later, he is demoted because of a mistake. Her father, stepmother, and the rest of the family all blame her for bringing bad luck. Leng Mohan comes to ask for her hand in marriage. Three years ago, he saved Tian Yanyan’s father’s life, and her father promised him one of his daughters in marriage. Leng Mohan is being pressured to marry, and rumors are spreading that he is impotent. Tian Lili breaks off the engagement. She’s only eighteen and refuses to marry an old man who’s twenty-eight and impotent. In the end, the family decides to marry Tian Yanyan off to him instead, conveniently getting rid of this burden. With nowhere else to turn, Tian Yanyan is forced to marry Leng Mohan. The one thing she can be happy about is that she gets to keep the five hundred yuan in bride price he paid. She trembles before Leng Mohan, who is as cold and quiet as his name suggests, with a chill about him, and doesn’t dare act spoiled. All she can do is keep her head down and tread carefully. Unexpectedly, she gives birth to twins, which helps her secure her place in the family and live the spoiled life she always wanted. Later, Tian Yanyan wishes she weren’t so beautiful. So much for being impotent: it was all a rumor. He’s a real wolf in sheep’s clothing. What Tian Yanyan doesn’t know is that from the moment Leng Mohan first laid eyes on her, he had already treasured her in his heart.
