Synopsis

[Fictional Republican-era setting + a scumbag's road to redemption + a powerful man humbling himself + sweet, satisfying romance + both leads have only ever been with each other] [Reckless, ruthless warlord × dazzling, clearheaded heiress]

While studying abroad, Wei Wan fell in love with Shi Shian, a young patriot. The first thing she wanted to do after returning home was bring him to meet her parents.

Instead, she got this in reply: “My family has already arranged a marriage for me. My betrothed is the daughter of Staff Officer Yao.”

“My parents made the match, so there's nothing I can do. Luckily, Miss Yao is understanding and will let me take a concubine.”

“With your family background, becoming my concubine would already be reaching above your station.”

Wei Wan hurled the ring he'd given her at his face, then turned around and brought half a city's worth of family fortune to the warlord.

Her lavish wedding procession caused a sensation throughout the city, and Wei Wan's true identity was revealed.

She was no daughter of an obscure family. She was the beloved daughter of the wealthy merchant known as “Shen of Half the City.”

As for her surname, the merchant Shen loved his wife dearly, so his daughter took her mother's name.

When the scumbag learned the truth, he went mad and tried to stop the wedding procession. He fell to his knees and begged, “Wanning, I regret everything. Can we start over?”

The notorious, violent man pulled Wei Wan into his arms. “I'm afraid not. She's my wife now.”

“Still coveting her? Seems to me you want to meet the King of Hell.”

Rumor had it that the new warlord was ruthless and cold-blooded, and had killed his father and brother to seize power.

Yet at a banquet, he bent down in front of everyone and said to Wei Wan, “Climb on. I'll carry you home.”
