After the Stand-In Marriage, the Spoiled Young Marquis Drops His Act

Shen Qinghuan took her younger half-sister's place as the bride, marrying the notorious wastrel heir whom everyone in the capital avoided.

On their wedding night, she coldly laid down the terms: "A marriage in name only. We stay out of each other's affairs."

The heir raised an eyebrow. "Just what I had in mind."

Everyone laughed that she was in for a loveless marriage, waiting to see her tormented to death by the Marquis's household.

But then...

When a concubine provoked her, she slapped her back and took charge of the household with ease;

When her half-sister caused trouble, she cut ties with her for good, showing no mercy;

When her birth family schemed against her, she tore off the mask and severed all ties.

The whole household was stunned: this stand-in bride was a force to be reckoned with.

Even more astonishing...

The once-wild wastrel had turned over a new leaf, carefully plotting his way to power and stirring up the court.

Someone asked him why he was going to such lengths.

He shielded her behind him, his gaze burning with passion.

"For my wife, I'll win her a noble title and build her a world of her own."

Looking at the man before her, Shen Qinghuan's eyes finally reddened.

It turned out that this mistaken marriage was the best home she could have hoped for.
