After the Broken Engagement Scandal, I Became the Young Lord's Beloved

Both leads are each other’s one and only; happy ending. An alternate-world story with a little political intrigue. The setup includes a few melodramatic elements. The male lead is possessive, and the sweetness never lets up.

A heads-up: the heroine is a cute little airhead with lots of inner monologue, though she’ll grow over time. She isn’t good at studying and loves to slack off.

Spring in Junlin City is sweet as honey, but Song Wanyi has had the worst luck. Her newly arranged marriage has fallen through, her fiancé is about to become the princess’s consort, and now the whole city is laughing at her!

Her father, Song Jinyuan, is frantic with worry. With no other choice, he swallows his pride and takes her to the Anyuan Marquis’s residence, hoping to marry her off to the former husband of her elder sister: Qin Yanzhi, an heir apparent as cold as an ice sculpture. But Qin Yanzhi agrees at once, leaving Wanyi so startled that she clutches her skirt until it’s all wrinkled!

At their first meeting, she’s as nervous as a startled rabbit and can’t even meet his eyes. Yet she unexpectedly wins over her little nephew, Nian’an, who even calls her “Mother”! What seems like an absurd marriage to a second wife quietly begins to blossom into something sweet amid the drifting apricot blossoms.
