After My Husband's Early Death, the Reserved Heir Was Forced to Support Two Families

Yan Xiyue, the playful, easygoing daughter of a wealthy Jiangnan merchant, marries the equally idle second young master of a prince's manor. The two kindred spirits enjoy a carefree newlywed life there, with no burden of bringing honor to the family and no worries about the daily grind. Then disaster strikes: the second young master dies unexpectedly, leaving Yan Xiyue a widow. The prince and princess dote on their second son and insist that the second branch must have an heir to carry on the family line. They force Xiao Jue, the heir of the marquis's household, to take Yan Xiyue as his secondary wife and continue the family line for both branches. As a merchant's daughter, Yan Xiyue has no better options, so she agrees. But she is frightened by this cold, businesslike, aloof and proud brother-in-law. What kind of story will unfold as they slowly grow closer?
