After a Marriage of Convenience to Bring Good Fortune, My General Brother-in-Law Spoils Me Rotten

To reclaim her parents’ inheritance, Zhong Huining takes her cousin’s place and marries into the Ling family to bring good fortune. The second young master, Ling, has been frail and sickly since childhood, and dies just days after the wedding, leaving her a widow. Her mother-in-law blames her for her husband’s death and makes life difficult for her at every turn, hoping to have her buried with her son. Fortunately, her grandmother-in-law is reasonable, and her cold-faced elder brother-in-law is protective of her, too. But her good fortune doesn’t last. After her grandmother-in-law dies, she realizes that her brother-in-law has developed feelings for her. But she dares not let herself fall for him, and she must not. Ling Xiuyuan is a celebrated general, while she is a widow who supposedly brought about her husband’s death. To stay alive, and to protect the child in her womb who should never have existed, she sets a deadly plan in motion and flees to the ends of the earth with her child. When they meet again, Ling Xiuyuan sees Zhong Huining alive and well, and the child who looks so much like him. His eyes redden as he says hoarsely: “These past three years, you’ve been happy and free. Did you ever spare me a thought?”
