[A Sweet-Natured, Gentle Legitimate Daughter × A Cold, Unwanted Heir] [Marriage First, Love Later + Mutual Devotion + Satisfying Household Battles + Happy Ending]
Jiang Yuxing, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of Works, is the pampered noblewoman everyone in the capital envies. Her parents are loving, her siblings get along, and she's never known hardship.
An imperial edict forces her to marry Wen Siyi, the notorious “invisible heir” of the Marquis of Jingyuan's household.
On their wedding night, his stepmother schemes against him, and he doesn't return until late. He leaves her with only one sentence, “Let's each keep to our place and stay out of each other's way,” then spends the night in the study outside.
The servants neglect her, her stepmother-in-law mistreats her, and her younger half-brother-in-law provokes her. Everyone is waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
But they don't know that this pampered legitimate daughter may look gentle, but she has a backbone of steel.
They cut her household allowance? She uses her dowry to double the servants' bonuses, giving the snide concubine a taste of her own medicine.
Her husband's old wound flares up? She brews medicinal soup and protects him from harm.
They frame her husband? She produces hard evidence and leaves the concubine speechless.
At first, Wen Siyi thinks she's nothing but a nuisance: “Stay away from me.”
Later, he holds her in his arms and watches the schemers in the household with a cold gaze: “You have no right to criticize my wife.”
And eventually, the cold, formidable heir whom everyone in the capital fears becomes her one-and-only, fiercely protective husband.
