We Got Married at First Sight, but Is My Ailing Husband a Powerful Figure in Beijing?

To save on the bride price, her cruel stepfather and biological mother schemed together, forcing Jiang Li to marry her lazy, good-for-nothing stepbrother.

Faced with her awful family's schemes, Jiang Li picked a stranger at random from a matchmaking agency and got married to him that very day.

When she got home late that night, she held up the fresh marriage certificate she'd received that afternoon. “Sorry, I'm married now. The law protects me.”

Her stepfather sneered, greed showing on his face. “You little brat, gotten bold, have you? You think you can fool me with a fake marriage certificate?”

Jiang Li gave a cold laugh. “Believe it or don't. Suit yourself.”

To be safe, Jiang Li called her new husband in the middle of the night and asked him to come help her move.

At first, Jiang Li thought her new husband was just some guy she'd happened to find to share a life with.

Then she realized he looked an awful lot like the rumored Prince Fu, who supposedly suffered from a secret ailment and had no interest in women.

Jiang Li held up a photo to compare them. “Mr. Fu, I feel like you look a lot like Prince Fu.”

Fu Siming slowly took off his gold-rimmed glasses. “Remove ‘I feel like,’ and we're the same person.”

Jiang Li was instantly dumbfounded. “...”

Before she could react, the man had her pinned in a corner, eyes red as he begged her to hold him.

Jiang Li gritted her teeth. “What happened to that secret ailment and your supposedly pure, desire-free ways?”

Fu Siming smiled with polished wickedness. “Only Mrs. Fu can cure my illness.”
