After Becoming a Substitute Bride, I Became the Tutor's Cherished Darling

[Chasing his wife to the crematorium] + [Substitute bride, illegitimate daughter rises to power] + [The aloof male lead begs on his knees for forgiveness] + [Marriage Before Love]

Shen Qingwan, an illegitimate daughter forced to take another bride's place, is mocked by her husband, the Grand Tutor, on their wedding night: “You're nothing but an illegitimate daughter.” He throws away the medicine she brings him, rejects her attempts to get close, and even questions her after rescuing her from drowning. Her sincere heart is shattered.

She grits her teeth and turns away: no more gifts, no more waiting, no more love.

She investigates her mother's murder, studies medicine, and publicly gives her legitimate elder sister a taste of her own medicine. She builds a thriving life of her own.

But then the cold-faced Grand Tutor's eyes suddenly turn red. He takes out a faded strip of cloth he has treasured for seven years, with the name “Shen Qingwan” clearly written on it.

It turns out she is the woman who saved his life, the one he has been searching for for seven years.
