The Hunter's Mischievous Bride

Su Wan, heir to a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, woke up as a poor village girl who had been pushed to her death by her own sister and forced to marry in her sister’s place. Faced with her biased parents and hypocritical sister, she severed ties with them on the spot. Then, clutching twenty taels in betrothal money, she covered her own head with the bridal veil and climbed into the wedding sedan. Only after arriving at her new home did she discover that the supposedly vicious, crippled hunter was neither crippled nor vicious. He was even rather easy to coax. Lu Chuan, once the commander of the Zhenbei Army, had faked his death and retreated into the mountains to avoid getting caught up in a succession struggle. He planned to live quietly as a taciturn hunter, but his new bride laid her cards on the table as soon as she arrived: “I know you’re not crippled. Let’s team up and make a life together. You keep me safe, and I’ll treat your leg. How does that sound?” From then on, he protected her as she opened a shop and made money, while she helped him treat his old injury. Their medicinal food business grew from a village shop to a county town and then to the capital, and their success kept growing. She dealt with every pursuer, scheme, and frame-up that came their way, one by one. Later, Prince Su personally led men to attack, and Lu Chuan was imprisoned while protecting her. Carrying the Empress Dowager’s token, Su Wan went alone to the capital “My man is mine to save.” After the storm passed, they returned to their little mountain home to farm, raise chickens, and tend a medicinal herb garden. He said, “Having you is enough for this lifetime.”
