The Sickly Officer Needed a Lucky Bride, but He Was Full of Vigor Once They Hit the Bed

Both leads are sexually inexperienced + the heroine starts out weak and grows stronger over time. Everyone in the village says Shen Qinghe was born with a fate as fragile as paper. She married Shuan Zhu, an honest, hardworking man, to escape her parents’ abuse. But a car accident on the way to the wedding killed the groom on the spot. Overnight, she was branded a husband-killer and subjected to scorn and abuse. Her heartless in-laws sold her off to the Gao family as a good-luck bride. They said the Gao family’s second son was serving in the army, decorated for his achievements, but had suddenly fallen gravely ill and was on the brink of death. There were no red ribbons or blaring drums, and no groom. She held a proud rooster as they went through the wedding rites. They bowed to Heaven and Earth, with no one beside her; they bowed to the elders, surrounded by coldness; they bowed to each other, leaving her with nothing but her lonely shadow. Everyone laughed at her miserable fate, but no one knew that this marriage, meant to bring good fortune, would kindle the deepest love through years of hardship. So what if she’s a husband-killer? So what if she’s a good-luck bride? She, Shen Qinghe, will weather the muddy years, wait for the clouds to part, and spend the rest of her life with him.
