Zhao Wuyou, the capital’s number-one ne’er-do-well, has three great loves: dogfighting, stealing the courtesan of the hour, and infuriating his father.
Everyone says that whoever marries him is in for a miserable life.
Then one day, drunk, he stumbles into a wedding procession stretching ten miles, decked out in red.
The bride, Li Mengyao, daughter of the wealthiest man in the land, has just discovered that the heir apparent she is supposed to marry plans to take his cousin as a secondary wife at the same time. She tears up the marriage contract in front of everyone. “I, Li Mengyao, will never marry into a family like this!”
The groom sneers. “If you dare walk away today, let’s see who would marry you!”
“I would.”
Zhao Wuyou, swaying with drunkenness, pushes through the crowd, rips up the marriage contract, stuffs her into the bridal sedan, and has her carried back to the prince’s residence.
When he wakes up, he’s stunned. He really got married?
Li Mengyao is stunned too. She really got married?
One is a wayward heir apparent whom the entire capital can’t help but shake their heads over. The other is a merchant’s daughter whom everyone treats like a moneybag. Everyone is waiting for a laugh, eager to see how this ridiculous marriage will end.
But later, when he gets drunk, she’s the one he protects. When danger strikes, she’s the one he shields. At death’s door, he clutches her hand and says, “Thank goodness I have you.”
With nothing but an abacus, she works out every account in the prince’s household to the last detail.
The deepest feelings in the world often begin with an accident.
The protagonists' wisdom and life atmosphere are well integrated and worth watching
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, so good-looking
Mengyao is very lucky. Prince Duan's family has a good family tradition, the princess is a good mother-in-law, and although the prince looks ugly, he is a good person and has good conduct.
Very well written, keep up the good work.
So far so good
It's very beautiful, the writing is delicate, and the couple share the same heart.
When reading a book, I like a woman checking her accounts. 🤭 Watch the cashier tremble.
