The successive deaths of her friend and grandmother dealt Hua Ji a devastating blow. After a dispute at the hospital, the once gentle and patient Doctor Hua disappeared, leaving behind only a puppet who spent all day shut away at home, staring blankly at her drawing board.

A marriage alliance? It’s just a matter of each side getting what they want. It should be much the same with anyone, right?

To protect the family business her grandmother had devoted most of her life to building, Hua Ji reluctantly agreed to a marriage alliance with the second young master of the Ji family.

But no one expected their attitudes to take such a dramatic turn after the wedding.

Before the wedding, she stared gloomily at her drawing board and said without much hope, “A marriage alliance. It should be much the same with anyone, right?”

After the wedding, not a trace of gloom could be found in her eyes. She smiled, her eyes curving, and watched someone’s retreating back with a shy blush on her cheeks. Then she happily told someone, “Mm… I just feel like marrying him is kind of sweet.”

Before marriage, he was lonely and cold, snapping at everyone he met. When they first met formally, he even put on an aloof front.

After marriage, he became a henpecked husband and a clingy sweetheart who immediately backed down whenever his wife was unhappy.

“A Ji, I love you.”

“I’m incredibly lucky to be able to marry my wife. It’s exactly what I’ve always wanted.”

If she needed a sword that could kill without drawing blood, he would be the perfectly honed blade at her side.
