[One-on-one romance + sweet indulgence + mutual salvation + love triangle drama]
[Quippy, playacting good girl x world-weary, abstinent young master of the capital's elite]
Because their birth charts were compatible, Xiang Li was sold to the Jiang family's young master as a good-luck bride. The two families agreed that they would marry once the young master came of age.
Xiang Li had been passed around like an object her entire life, and she still had no say in the most important decisions of her life. Later, she met a man at Chanxin Temple. Leaning against the railing as he interpreted her fortune, he looked unbearably sexy. Unable to resist, Xiang Li asked, "Want to come with me?"
The man barely hesitated. "Sure."
Neither of them made their relationship public. They kept up the secret affair for almost a year.
Then the young master of the Jiang family was about to return to the country, and Xiang Li broke up with the man.
The man stared at her coldly, his features blurred in the thin mist. His voice was full of menace. "Xiang Li, don't regret this."
Xiang Li said, "I won't. There's no future with you. I'm going to marry into the Jiang family and become Mrs. Jiang."
At her engagement banquet with the Jiang family's young master, Xiang Li was dressed to the nines. The young men and women of the capital's elite, who had once looked down on her, now spoke up for her.
Xiang Li greeted them one by one. When it was time to toast the elders, she met the gaze of the man seated at the head of the table. The Jiang family's young master whispered in her ear, "That's my older brother."
The night was dark and heavy. When Xiang Li returned to the bridal suite, the person waiting for her was not the young master of the Jiang family, but the eldest Jiang brother, wearing a knowing smile. With her back against the cold wall, Jiang Shiyan gripped her chin, mockery in his eyes. "A marriage is a marriage, no matter who you marry, right, Mrs. Jiang?"
