[Sober legitimate daughter × Pretending to be a dandy | Marriage first, love later | Pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger | Chasing his wife in the crematorium]
Xie Zhiyun has believed in one thing all his life: It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else.
At the age of eighteen, she was dazzled by her stepmother's bowl of bird's nests and married Xiao Huaiyuan, the most handsome man in the capital, on behalf of her concubine. The whole capital was waiting to see her joke - marry a loser and your life would be over.
After the wedding night, the dandy husband handed over a contract: "We pretend to be husband and wife to the outside world, but we live our lives internally. We will divorce in three years."
She signed. Fair dealing, everyone gets what he needs.
But later——
When his concubine made things difficult, he protected his wife in public; when his concubine showed off, he sneered and ridiculed her. When the court was in crisis, she made suggestions, and when the inner chamber planned, he supported her to the end. When she opened a shop and opened a school, he fully supported her: "Whatever you want to do, I will do my best to do it."
One night, he was drunk and pushed her against the wall. His eyes were no longer lazy: "Xie Zhiyun, they say you are an abandoned daughter who was married off. But I feel that I was lucky enough to find the treasure in my third life."
Later, the stepmother knelt down and begged for mercy. She asked with a smile: "Mom, do you still remember the bowl of root-cut soup?" The concubine asked her why with red eyes, and she said calmly: "I earned every penny by myself."
In the court hall, he took off his mask to reveal his true identity, and everyone was shocked.
She was the abandoned legitimate daughter, and he was also the royal wife he held in his own hands.
No one knows whether the proxy marriage was her disaster or his luck.
