After One Night in the Hot Springs, the Heir Snatched Her for a Wedding That Very Night

[Devoted Couple + Win Her Back at Any Cost + The Whole Family Comes Around, Sweet Romance with No Angst]

Wen Ruoshui was a lonely village widow, brought into the Marquis’s manor clutching her late husband’s memorial tablet.

But one snowy night, she wandered into a hot spring and ended up in a passionate embrace with a strange man.

Only after returning to the manor did she learn that the man was Xiao Yanzhou, the Marquis’s eldest legitimate son, and her nominal “elder brother-in-law”!

Worse, she was carrying the Xiao family’s child...

Xiao Yanzhou marries her in the name of “protecting his younger brother’s wife,” but in truth he corners her at every turn.

“The child is mine. You can’t escape.”

The young master feels guilty and protects his sister-in-law, the old madam gives her nourishing supplements every day, and even her sharp-tongued sister-in-law competes to win her favor.

But when the child’s parentage is revealed, the whole manor erupts.

When the truth comes out, everyone in the Marquis’s manor gets their comeuppance,

while Wen Ruoshui has already secured her position as mistress of the household!

From Xiao Yanzhou’s perspective:

He is the Marquis’s eldest legitimate son, a powerful man at the imperial court, born to wealth and privilege.

But after being poisoned by a love toxin in a battle on the frontier, he forced himself on the tearful young village widow by the hot spring.

Back in the capital, he is consumed by frustration, only to discover that the woman has become his own younger brother’s wife!

Hold back? The words “hold back” have never been in Xiao Yanzhou’s dictionary!

He doesn’t care about propriety or family ethics. She is his woman, carrying his child, and he’ll steal her back if he has to!
