[Love at first sight + marriage before love + heroine with a secret identity + face-slapping + sweet and satisfying]
After being missing for many years, Jiang Shiyi finally returns to the Jiang family. Her father and relatives don’t welcome her, but her powerful older brother dotes on her.
Her stepmother and stepsister scheme against her, maliciously arranging introductions to eight families in a row. Every one of them rejects her.
They’ve never even met her, but all give the same reason: they won’t marry a jinx who was missing for eighteen years, a country bumpkin with an unlucky destiny.
And so the Jiang family’s second young miss becomes a laughingstock.
One night, Jiang Shiyi gets drunk and, overcome by desire, sleeps with a strikingly beautiful, aloof man.
The beautiful man is rather old-fashioned. Since they’ve slept together, he says, they have to get married.
To take responsibility, the two secretly marry the next day.
Everyone knows that Shanghe Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has an exceptionally gifted pharmacist named Shiyi, whom several powerful families are vying to win over.
But Master Shi is unusually cold toward these families, even going so far as to teach them a lesson. They can’t understand why.
Then one day, they see Shiyi call the head of the Jiang family “Big Brother” and realize she’s the very country bumpkin they looked down on, the Jiang family’s second young miss!
The powerful families are dumbfounded!
They hurriedly apologize: “Second Miss, we were wrong.”
Jiang Shiyi has always thought Duan Chengjin was an overlooked member of a collateral branch of his family, free to choose whom he married and beyond his family’s control. That was why he dared to marry her on a whim.
Until one day, she sees members of the Duan family’s collateral branches treating Duan Chengjin with the utmost respect.
Jiang Shiyi raises an eyebrow. “So I impulsively married the head of the Duan family.”
I love the characters in it, both the good and the bad are vividly portrayed, especially the male and female leads (the female lead's lust for the male lead is just right, any more would be disgusting and any less would be bland). I can't find any other words to describe it except "I love it". How can such a good novel have such a low rating?
I love watching sweet dramas, and I hope you stay sweet throughout and don't let the two of you misunderstand each other. I give you full marks!
It's very good, and the plot doesn't drag.
The story moves at a brisk pace! The characters are developed quickly! Readers will find it enjoyable.
A very sweet and enjoyable short story
It's a good read. The female lead thinks she forced the male lead, but she doesn't know he was just going along with it. The female lead is very strong and capable, and the male lead is absolutely biased and possessive. It's a very good read.
The sibling relationship is so touching! The brother is a fierce protector of his sister the whole time. Who wouldn't want a brother like that?
I love these "arranged marriage to fall in love" stories so much! They're so sweet!
So beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! Highly recommended!
So good and sweet! The male and female leads, as well as the older brother and sister-in-law, are all incredibly sweet. It's so good, yet nobody seems to be watching. It's truly amazing! Thumbs up for the author! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧🍭
