I’ll Accept Your Gratitude, but Not Your Hand in Marriage

[Sweet romance + love that grows over time + a hard-won romance]

[Clear-headed beauty vs. scheming, possessive emperor]

Anran is an orphan who has just lost her mother. The village bully wants to force her into marriage.

With no other choice, she claims the blind man she found as her older brother, hoping he’ll protect her.

The blind man she brought home is eight chi tall, handsome, and impressively built. Anran thinks to herself, What a shame…

She originally planned to send him away and find another city to settle in.

Anran doesn’t want to go to the capital, but someone is determined to take her there…

Lu Heng: This woman is far too bold. She dares to shout at me! Just wait until I reveal who I am. I’ll have her executed!

Lu Heng: All right, since she saved me once again, I’ll spare her life.

Lu Heng: This fiery little troublemaker is pretty cute when she gets worked up!

Lu Heng: How could she… How could she kiss me and then act like nothing happened?

I’m going back to the capital. I might as well take this poor little thing with me.

Call it repayment for saving my life!

Anran: You can repay a life debt with money.

Lu Heng: That won’t do! As the saying goes, there’s no way to repay a life debt except by giving yourself to the person who saved you!

If you love her, give her everything she wants, including the freedom she cherishes!
