The Stubborn Wife

[Stubborn, proud, fallen princess vs. rebellious, defiant illegitimate son]

When Chu Wanqing was six, her family was destroyed and she was left alone in the world. It was Old Master Ji who took her in and brought her to the Ji family.

In Chu Wanqing’s eyes, Ji Jingtang was refined and elegant, mature and dependable. He didn’t say much, but he was the angel who helped her escape the shadow of her family’s ruin.

She had a childhood sweetheart for a fiancé, and never imagined she would marry her adoptive older brother.

Even less did she expect that the angel had a cruel side. The day before their rescheduled wedding, she saw him grabbing her former fiancé and sneering arrogantly, “You think I care about some used goods you’ve had? There isn’t a kind of woman I, Ji Jingtang, can’t get.”

From that day on, the proud and noble Chu Wanqing was branded by him as “used goods.”

Tong Nian was Chu Wanqing’s former fiancé and Ji Jingtang’s cousin in name. Gentle and approachable, he cherished Chu Wanqing above all else. Even when she was forced to marry Ji Jingtang, he stayed by her side in silent support, giving her a safe haven.

He said, “I couldn’t protect you during the first twenty years of my life. My only purpose for the rest of it is to protect you and make up for every wrong you’ve suffered.”

But Ji Jingtang, always arrogant and self-important, finally broke down. Kneeling before Chu Wanqing with red-rimmed eyes, he pleaded, “Honey, could you love me just once?”

Chu Wanqing calmly took Tong Nian’s hand. “Xiao Nian has always been my unwavering choice. He’s the only one I’ve ever loved.”
