[Rugged male lead]+ [Clever heroine]+ [No golden finger]+ [Marriage Before Love]
A county princess obsessed with romance novels opened her eyes and found herself inside a story whose heroine shared her name.
Her parents had died unexpectedly, leaving her a fortune in gold and silver.
Song Zhinian quickly decided she needed powerful backing. She couldn’t let herself be stripped of her inheritance and die miserably again.
The magistrate’s son, Yu Muan, came to ask for her hand. “Zhinian, will you be my concubine? I’ll protect you for the rest of your life.”
Song Zhinian was a county princess, after all. “What respectable girl would rush to become a concubine?”
Yu Muan replied, “Who else but me could protect you?”
Song Zhinian turned around and sought out Chi Wu, a notorious local bully. She’d heard that even the magistrate didn’t dare provoke him.
Chi Wu sneered and refused. “You want me to protect you? I’d have to marry into your family, too. Dream on.”
Song Zhinian said, “I’ll give you half my fortune, and I’ll marry you.”

Later, when Chi Wu was ambushed and left on the brink of death, Song Zhinian, pregnant and all, sold off her property and did everything she could to save him. He wept on the spot.
He said, “If I survive, you’ll be my whole world for the rest of my life.”
