Rejected by Eight Clans? The Top Power Broker Is Crazy About Me

[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.”
