[Childhood sweethearts + sweet romance + clear-headed heroine + two men competing for her + face-slapping and putting scumbags in their place]
Guan Ning married Li He'an, an editor at the Hanlin Academy. She used her connections to secure him an official post, then paid to cure her mother-in-law after the wedding and covered the household’s financial shortfall.
Yet barely a month later, he proposed taking a second wife to continue the family line for another branch!
He had used her money and connections, only to try to cast her aside. Not a chance!
She immediately rescued Li He'an’s brother, who had fallen off a cliff!
Then she wrote to her maternal grandfather, asking him to withdraw his support for Li He'an at court.
But along with her grandfather’s letter came Su Heng, her uncle’s adopted son. Her grandfather asked her to take good care of him.
Guan Ning already knew Su Heng. They had grown up together.
She agreed, found him a residence and servants, gave him money, and even introduced him to young noblewomen in the capital.
But the way he looked at her grew increasingly strange. When she decided to take in a husband, he even kicked the groom out, looking aggrieved, and demanded that she take responsibility for him!
Su Heng’s original name was Xie Hengyu. He was a prince raised by the Su family.
He considered the Su family his own, including Guan Ning, the cousin who often visited them.
The author has written well before. Why is there no ending if the novel is not finished? I hope the author will continue to work hard.
