A month before her wedding, Xia Ruyi caught her fiancé fooling around with his mistress.
She gave the cheating pair a sound beating on the spot and called off the engagement.
Jiang Shiyao, daughter of the prefect, rushed into her second brother’s room. “Second Brother, it’s time to repay the debt for saving our lives. Hurry and come marry into her family!”
The second son of the Jiang family, who only cared about making money, looked exasperated. “Become a live-in son-in-law of the Xia family? Would Father and Mother agree?”
“If Big Brother hadn’t already married Sister-in-law, you wouldn’t even have a chance! Sister Xia is as beautiful as a celestial maiden, and she’s better at making money than you! You’d be getting the better end of the deal by marrying her!”
The second son was instantly tempted. “All right! I’ll marry into her family...”
“Oh no, Second Brother! Sister Xia says men can’t be relied on and is offering a huge reward for a sperm donor. Do you have a six-pack?”
A little toddler next door had overheard every word of the siblings’ scheming.
“Daddy, I want that fairy-like big sister from the other day to be my mother! If not, I’ll cry myself to death!”
The man’s face was expressionless. “They say she brings misfortune to her close relatives, and now she’s even widowed. Do you want her to curse your father to an early grave?”
The heartless little one said, “Daddy’s going to die sooner or later. Before you do, find me a mother who’ll love me more than anything and give me a little brother to protect me. Waaaah... Are you going to say yes or not? If you keep refusing, she’ll become my second cousin’s wife! Waaaah...”
The man truly didn’t have more than a couple of years left to live. His daughter was what worried him most.
“All right. Daddy promises.”
The man cut in ahead of Second Young Master Jiang, using a false identity, and Xia Ruyi took a liking to him at first sight.
As soon as Xia Ruyi confirmed she was pregnant, she disappeared.
The man, who had been near death, miraculously recovered.
Before he could even celebrate, the heroine summoned him again with a huge reward.
