Jade in Her Bosom

A delicate and beautiful child bride hides ten years of careful plotting. When Lin Chuchu was ten, she was carried into the Marquis of Zhenyuan’s estate in a small sedan chair and became the child bride of Xiao Yu, the heir apparent. In the deep and treacherous marquis’s household, she walked on eggshells, hoping only to live in peace. She never knew that the cold, taciturn heir had already carved her image into his heart. Xiao Yu was the most dazzling young man in the capital, astonishingly talented and peerlessly handsome. No one knew that his heart held a moonlight he didn’t dare touch. Watching her grow from a little girl into a graceful young woman, he patiently laid his plans, advancing step by step as he waited for her coming-of-age ceremony, when he could embrace her as his wife with every right to do so. “You’ve been the wife I chose from the moment you stepped into the marquis’s estate.” When Chuchu came of age and Xiao Yu reached adulthood, a carefully arranged marriage bound them together. But the marquis’s household was no sanctuary. A domestic power struggle simmered beneath the surface, powerful nobles watched them like hawks, and sudden upheavals put their marriage, born of “gratitude,” to one test after another. “If anyone in this world dares to harm so much as a hair on your head, I’ll overturn heaven and earth for you.” From a timid orphan girl to the lady of the marquis’s house; from a cold heir apparent to a devoted husband. Their marriage began with her status as a child bride, but became a love story celebrated throughout the realm. Reading Guide: - One couple, both each other’s first and only love.
