[Bold and forthright marquis's daughter + devoted, arrogant, domineering prince + tension early on, sweet romance later + both leads are faithful + adored by the whole family]
After getting a second chance at life, Yun Wan originally planned to marry beneath her station for a peaceful life. She never expected Xie Yu, after placing third in the palace examinations, to turn around and pursue a wealthy heiress. Not only did he try to force Yun Wan to become his concubine, he also plotted to seize her family's fortune.
Fine! Fine! Fine!
Did he really think she had no family or anyone to stand up for her?
He had no idea the powerful people behind her had already arrived!
Her birth mother, the marquess, sneers: “You dare humiliate my daughter? Drag him away and beat him!”
Her birth father, the chancellor, roars: “You dare lay a hand on my girl? I'll cut off your path to success!”
Her adoptive father, the richest man in the land, showers her with gold: “Spend whatever you like, and take out your anger however you please!”
Her brothers are all ruthless in their own ways.
Her adoptive brother, heir to the richest family: “It's getting cold. Time to go bankrupt!”
Her sworn elder brother, the stern censor: “It's morning. Time to go to prison!”
Her birth brother, the young general: “It's night. Time to hit the road!”
Worst of all is the fearsome prince, whose power holds sway over the realm.
He dotes on her alone and protects her as if his life depends on it. His gaze burns with such deep affection that it seems to pierce her through. “Wanwan, you've finally come back…”
But when had she ever known this towering figure?
In her previous life, he was the traitorous rebel who had overturned the court and raised an army against the throne!
Terrified, she tries to flee. “Your Highness… I don't know you!”
But he pulls her firmly into his arms and whispers against her ear:
“You accepted my betrothal gift when you were six. That makes you my wife.”
“Forgotten me? Can you handle the punishment for that?”
Not bad, worth continuing to follow.
